No MSM for me, although I wouldn't mind one. I own a 93 like juice. I owned a 99, but prefer the original Miata. I feel sorry for people trying to sell the MSM's... They're asking $20k+ and I've seen dealers asking around $17k.
 
The NB (99-05) seem to be undervalued, while the NA (90-97) are maintaining their value. I guess it's supply and demand. Fewer of the older ones around, and still a good supply of the newer ones.

New ones are cheap. I wish I needed to buy one!
 
My '93 is fine, the hesitation/stutter is gone after I put in new wires and plugs.
 
Neat little license plate idea. I'm not sure I'd want mine to swing like that, but still.

Can anyone tell me how to change the bulb in the fog lamp of a 2000 Miata LS. I can't see where to get access to the lamp, unless it is from under the car.

Don't know, but my guess would be from the bottom and behind the bumper, there must be access to it. Just follow the wires.

MX5 Car Wash recommendation by tnb
Jun 10, 2006 (3:02 pm)
Hi there,
 
my new MX5 GT is looking quite dirty after a few week-end trips in the mountain, and I was wondering what kind of Car Wash experience you guys may have had with your convertible. The manual specifically recommends not using automatic car wash, and I also don't want my leather seats ruined by a cheap shop employee. Also, is car waxing needed, and how often ?
I am in the LA coastal region.
Thanks in advance.
TNB

Repairing Paint Chips on the Front Bumper by lwirth
Jun 13, 2006 (1:02 pm)
I would appreciate any recommendations for fixing paint chips on the front bumper of a 2002 Miata SE. I know that the paint code is 26S but don't want the repair to look even worse than it already does. I also have paint dings behind the front license plate due to poor Mazda design, but will probably let them go for now. Thanks for your advice. LRW

I flipped my license plate holder upside down, so that it bends away from the bumper instead of towards it. It look a hammer and some elbow grease, plus it's mounted lower now.

Juice, I got a new plate holder on the internet which is much better than the standard Miata holder, but --- do you have any advice on repairing the paint chips that I can still see on the front bumper. My Miata SE has blazing yellow mica metallic clearcoat, code 26S paint and I want to do something that will blend in with the metallic paint and not look bad. Thanks LRW

Chips are tough... I've done it, but it doesn't look perfect. There are plenty of "how to" touch up websites out there. If you want it perfect, you'll have to get it repainted. Good luck.
