OK forum members, here is our question for the day. We are serious thinking about moving out of tax crazed California and into a nearby non-state income tax and low property tax status. We own a 09 CX9 with the front wheel drive system and it has been terrific. However, we are considering an...

Greetings to all of you CX9 er's out there. I have the second set of tires on our 09 CX9, Yokohama Parada Spec-X, and they have given over 50K miles of service. Alas, the replacement costs are way too high for my retiree budget so I'm asking you all if you could recommend an alternative tire. I...

Well folks, this is about my son's 1990 Miata. He just purchased this jewel of a car from a fellow club member but the air conditioner was frozen, pardon the pun, and now we need to replace it. Have any of you had to do the same and how or where did you secure the part? I have gone online and...

Our 2009 CX 9 has been fantastic ride for the past four years and 76K miles. One our original pet peaves about this car is the inability to lower the front passenger seat! It seems to be about an 1.5 to 2.0 inches higher than the drivers side and makes entry and exit difficult without bumping...

Enthusiats all, after a great drive up to Yosemite and many twisties in between there and So. Calif., I noticed that my tailpipe was pretty much covered with a black, chalky substance! It looks to me like the engine is running way too rich and if so, how do I adjust that? If it is something that...

Now here is something I just noticed on the speedo. in my 97 M Edition Miata. There seems to be a very slight bit of oil around the base of the face, say about from 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock (if it were a clock face). Not lots of it but a light sheen. I know that this instrument has a cable that...

So.... I bought my 97 Miata on Ebay about four years ago and it had some aftermarket 17" rims and tires mounted. One of these rims is out-of-round and will not balance. I am saving my tokens to replace them all and would enjoy hearing suggestions as to what size I should go to in order to get it...

Never mind

My 1997 Miata has an oil pressure guage at the top of the instrument cluster and it pops right up when the engine is started. That seems to be a good thing, but is it truly showing pressure or is it just showing that there is oil inside the motor? Somewhere I have read that it is just another...

My wife and I are visiting our son and his family here in Northern Kentucky, spoiling the heck out of their daughter/or grand daughter! In a week or so we plan on traveling south to do some sightseeing in Tenn. and would really enjoy it more IF we could see it all in a Miata! Is anyone aware of...

My 97 Miata came with cruise control and the decal on the wiper stalk has just about disappeared! Do these decals exist at a Mazda dealors parts dept. or must I replace the entire control stalk just to get a sharper image to the original decal?

My check engine light went on during a long drive back to CA from Utah. I stopped immediately and checked everything from the gas cap to under the hood but found nothing loose, broken, leaking or blown. I continued on my way buy weary of desolate area I was driving through but made home to...

Well kids, the clock on our 2009 CX 9 is reading 70,500 miles and the front brakes were making a low rumbling sound. It got worse when we had a full load on so I had my local dealership check it out. They found that the front disc's were needing to be turned and they suggested the new...

So here I go again. My 97 Miata has some very tired cloth uhpolsetery(Original) and it is getting worse by the day. Who among you has re-done their seats and by what methods have you chosen. Please don't be ashamed or shy, just lay it all out there so I can make a semi-knowledgable decision on...

Has anyone had any experience in doing this install themselves? If so, how difficult is it and will I need any special equipment? Thanks for any help you can give me. Trying to save some token$ if at all possible!

Has anyone here installed after-market anti-sway bars on their CX 9 to help the handling? I would be interested in finding out if the typical body roll can be made less severe by adding better bars.

OK, stupid question time. What does this mean? I changed the battery in both of the remotes a few months ago but still it flashes.

I have the vinyl cover that covers the soft top when I decide to ride "topless". However, it has never fit very well and, as a matter of fact, never stays attached along the back leading edge where the groove is! Is there some secret to getting it to snug down realy tight? I have chosen not to...

Here is the question of the day. How does one keep the convertible top "Boot" attached to the car, especially along the grooved back portion? I install it just as I am supposed to but within a few minutes it has pulled out of the groove and is flapping in the breeze! I actually have two of these...

My 97 doesn't have either end equiped with one of these vinyl/plastic lips. I think they look great and I'm curious to hear of anyone's experiences purchasing, installing and differences, if any, they made to the cars handling or overall performance.
