Sirius is currently having issues broadcasting to some Mazda Sirius sat radio tuners. You will get the message "UPDATING" flash across the head units LCD panel.
#86 of 229 Hood Sound Insulation by stopandgo Oct 02, 2006 (5:14 pm)
I was wondering if anyone has ever ordered sound insulation attached to the Miata front hood to diminish engine noise. I would think this would be practical and easy to do, but am not sure if you can factory order this, or have it installed at the dealership when the MX-5 comes in.   I would think the hood insulation would be a great help on a soft top MX-5, but also on the retractable. I have no idea the clearance space between the hood and engine but I assume there is enough space for insulation.   MX-5 engines seem to rev a little high in low gears and I was just wondering if extra sound proofing might help? All answers welcomed. Replies to this message: erics6 (Oct 02, 2006 6:21 pm)

Replying to: stopandgo (Oct 02, 2006 5:14 pm) No. Could do a homemade job, but not sure how much it would help. Really isn't worth the effort. Engine noise is part of the Miata charm. Miata is not a good long distance cruiser, but I've taken 4,000 mile trips in my NA with no issues. By comparison, the NC would feel like a luxury car.   You can wear earplugs for long drives. (I don't.) Most folks adjust.
#88 of 229 Roll Bars by vessadini Oct 03, 2006 (7:04 pm)
I am in the process of purchasing an 07 Grand Touring. I have a simple question that I need answered by someone here and not a salesman. Are the stock roll bars functional? I don't mean SCCA road racing functional, just are they anything more than decoration? I'm not for sure why it is important to me but I just want to know.   By the way, this will be my first roadster in many years (it has been a long time since my barely running TR-4 got me around in high school). Between my wife and I we have owned 7 Mazdas with three in the driveway right now.
#89 of 229 Tracking New Car Status by brake4me1 Oct 04, 2006 (3:19 am)
I was wondering if it is possible to track the status of a new Mazda being built in Japan? Kind of like tracking a UPS delivery I assume, but I'm not sure how you go about it. Once an order has been placed can the buyer get a tracking number from the dealer and then go on-line to Mazda to check on the status? It would be nice to see if a pre-ordered MX-5 is on schedule and narrow down a future shipment date.

Replying to: gypsy123 (Jul 26, 2006 7:27 pm) Hi, I have just received my MX5 NC a month ago, and 10 days after driving it, found a rattling noise on the driveshaft when the car is driven in low revs. I called the dealer on 2 separate occations and after 2 inspections, the answer I got was "IT IS A NORMAL NOISE ON ALL 3 GENERATIONS OF MX5s". I have been looking up this "noise" in many MX5 forums but haven't found such a NORMAL noise. Can anyone shed some light on this? THX!

Replying to: mx5mk3 (Oct 16, 2006 11:28 pm) Did the service department drive the car with you along to point out the specific noise/vibration? I would try another dealer and make sure they hear/feel exactly what your describing....the problem doesnt sound normal to me. Replies to this message: mx5mk3 (Oct 17, 2006 10:09 pm)

Replying to: audia8q (Oct 17, 2006 2:06 pm) my original deal drove it and gave the "normal noise" comment. i went to another dealer who also drove it, and he commented that he hears the noise, but when he checked the car he couldn't find the cause.
#94 of 229 Is it really a good roadster? by sportscar_fan Dec 21, 2006 (2:43 pm)
Advantages: Affordable roadster which has everything that you will expect from a this type of car. Drives nicely and is cheap to run.      Disadvantages: Unacceptable performance and it could have more standard goodies.      Verdict: Basic, but well priced and genuinely fun roadster.      Also consider: Opel GT, Pontiac Solstice.   Source:http://www.car-catalog.com/sports_cars/mazda_mx_5.htm   What dou you think about that roadster? Please comment!
