    Bought a ‘95, School Me

    I didn’t plan to buy a Miata, but a good deal cMe about and I bought a 1995 Miata, I’ve only driven one once before and it was a dumb automatic. Anyway, is high mileage (250k) and I’m keeping my eyes open for a lower mileage engine or planning a rebuild. My daughter turns 15 in August so this is...

    DIY Free “Short” Shifter

    After driving this a few days, I gotta say, I love it. Can’t imagine going back to the tall truck shifter.

    Depends on where you live. I’m on the east coast so it’s 50/50.

    Cone Filter, yay or nay?

    Yeah, I know all about the Jimnies, I was in the Suzuki game since the mid 90s. The Injen intake I put on my stock KA26DE was short ram, you could feel the loss from stop light to stop light, but it opened it up on the highway, I preferred torque though. As for the filtering, I still trust...

    Cone Filter, yay or nay?

    I know a popular mod is an open element cone filter, so for those of you using one or who have in the past, specifically on a stock MP5, let’s hear about it. The reason I ask, I’ve had open cone filters and cold air intakes on my high revving Hondas, I’ve ran them on quads and mopeds and my...

    DIY Free “Short” Shifter

    Glad to share, I like the idea of true short shifters, but I’ve been driving manual transmission for 24 years, if I want to shift fast I don’t need a shifter to help me. I put a short shifter on my Civic (because they are super cheap) and I liked it but it felt knotchy and made me worry about...

    DIY Free “Short” Shifter

    Ok, first off, this is not a short shifter, as this only lowers the shift knob above the fulcrum, but it looks and feels good and is free. After buying my MP5 last week I was pretty unhappy with how tall the shifter was, plus, the factory leather wrapped shift knob was just too bulky, so I...

    It looks good at a distance, but overall it's really good for age and mileage. No rust was my main goal and there is none.

    Thanks, you've answered some questions already, I was wondering if it was an interference engine but hadn't researched yet.

    16 Years Later, I got one

    I mentioned that I drove a few cars before buying this one, first off, there were none local. I emailed and called and texted plenty of people about their cars, and it's crazy how many people selling cars won't return messages or return them slow. While selling my Civic, unless you sent a...

    16 Years Later, I got one

    This is obviously my first post to this forum, I’m not new to the car game or forums. Back in 2002 or possibly late 2001, I saw the zoom zoom Protege5 commercial on TV. I had been a fan of wagons and this one really caught my attention, so I went to the Mazda website to check it out. I was...
