Ok, need some serious help! Bought a 2006 MX-5 in Texas and now moving back to Canada. I am aware of to significant requirements in order to be able to import the MX-5 into Canada . These requirements are from the RIV: 1) Daytime Running Light: The MX-5 does not come with DRL in US and must be adapted. I am not sure what the solution is, I believe a module is sold to fix that. 2) Bumber 8km/h requirement: The law in Canada requires a 8km/h no damage to the bumper requirement. I have asked the dealer in the U.S. and they believe it is already compliant with the 5 miles per hour requirement. However, the RIV list the 2006 Miata as requiring changes to the bumper to meet the requirement. And that's where I am, I am not sure what is needed and what the cost would be involved. Anybody out there can help?

okay. I am 17 years old and I live in port townsend washington. My parents bought me a 1991 miata for my 16th birthday. The car was awesome when I first got it. but after the use on anything, there comes a problem. A few months ago my car started to run very poor and studder when I began to accelerate. It seems that the car doesn't do it as much when i'm at higher RPM's. if i gently tap the gas the car wont do it but if I want to clime a hill or start off from a stop, the car will just start acting up and running like crap. I have replaced new belts, plugs, aire filter, oil filter... and all the basics. I took it to the shop and had my mechanic check it out but he can't seem to figure out the problem. My dad and I tried to check the codes to see what's wrong with the electrical problem but no codes come out of the car and I am pretty sure it's electrical... I am coming to guess that it's the ECU in the car... this is my first car and i'm not very experienced with auto mechanics but this is something ive never seen before. does anyone have a solution? thanks!! -Tay

| I have a 1999 Miata MX5. I love my car but just recently the check engine light came on. I have had it checked with the OBDC-II and it says I have Excessve EGR flow. Will it hurt my car driving with this on? And what does EGR flow mean? | |

Replying to: taycraig (Jun 16, 2006 3:58 pm) Our 626 did that, hesitated like crazy, and that service cleared it right up. EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation. Your EGR system could be clogged up with contaminants, or you could have something as simple as a bad PCV Valve (positive crankcase ventilation). Since those are very cheap, I'd change that first, might only cost you a few bucks. -juice |

Replying to: tnb (Jun 10, 2006 3:02 pm) I've been hand washing my MX-5 Grandtourning. This is great exercise. Remember not to wash the car in the heat of the day and purchase a good chamoise cloth. I may be washing mine too much. However, I wash it once a week or every time it gets dirty. I do keep a few soft cloths in the trunk to wipe small spots and bugs.

Anyone know exactly where the drip drains are under the doors? Mine are clogged up; I can actually hear the water sloshing around. -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 26, 2006 5:54 am) Here is the passenger side front:  And the passenger side rear:  Oddly enough, there are bolts covering some of my holes. I had some body work done and I think the body shop just did not know what they were doing, looks like they actually plugged up several of the holes! DOH!  I managed to free up one of the ones on the passenger side and sure enough water came pouring out. Lots and lots of it.  I need to remove bolts on the driver's side. You'd think a body shop would know better. Sheesh. -juice |
