Re: 14" Miata rims.. Will they fit?

Thanks for the info. Do you know which year Miata they came off? Does it even matter?

Re: 14" Miata rims.. Will they fit?

Here's the additional info on the 2 sets that I'm considering..
1) Listed as 14x6, 4x100, 45mm offset (sounds perfect)
2) Listed as taken off a '93 Miata, 14x5.5
Any ideas?

14" Miata rims.. Will they fit?

I can get my hands on 14" Miata rims to mount my winter tires on'em. Will they be a direct fit for the MX-3?
By the way I used the search function and all I saw was info for the 15's and the 16's.. Logic dictates that the 14's should fit just fine, but I'd like to confirm.

Re: belts are squealing like a pig!!

Here's my story: I had mine replaced and they started squeeling after a month. I took the cage in for my mechanic to tighten it and this time around, paid attention to what he was doing. It started squeeling again a couple of months after that, so I tightened the belt again. It's been 2 years and ha...

The rear brakes are fine. Checked'em at safety 8 months back and I looked at'em about a week ago, fine again. Never had any braking issues, but the spring itself doesn't look too good. However, if this is a common problem, the other mxers and I'd appreciate any info on it, in case it does happen.

It's been a while, but I finally got around to taking care of the issue. After tightening the adjustment screw and taking the Mazda through some punishing stretches of Evans and the surrounding streets without the handle jumping enough to engage the e-brake light. The spring is still pretty bad, but...

Actually that was VERY helpful. I know that my alternator belt is a bit loose. I guess I'll tighten it and see if that will do the trick. As for the head unit, I pulled it anyways to check the contact, it smelled ok, and it didn't feel hot.

Electrical problems continue... Stereo

All of a sudden my deck started losing continuous power supply today. It would keep coming on and off rapidly. That's why I took it out, checked out all the wiring and it's still well-connected and soldered, so that can't be the problem. What else could be causing that problem other than the unit it...

In that case I won't need luck... I already have your guidance lol I'll see if I can get to it tomorrow, as long as the relay itself doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. I can always buy another one of those light wiring kits and eventually have all of my relays hanging by plastic ties lol

Hey Grants.. I still haven't taken a look at it because I've been extra-busy... I'll see if I can take a look tomorrow. Btw. when you say underneath the dash, do you mean where the headlight, defogger and other relays are or do I have to take the dash apart to find it?

Update: Got the new tires on, and it's a night/day difference. On a sad note, that Jap place doesn't seem to like retaining customers. One of the rims that they sold me was bent (fortunately I didn't need it) and they wouldn't give me store credit for it. I wasn't even asking for cash. I'm not gonna...

Thanks.. I'll look into it in a bit. I just gave the mx a cooling sys flush and finishing the same on the golf. I also installed a CD deck into the golf, to welcome my mom into the 20th (twentieth) century :P

I'll take a look at it during today's cooling system flush, since I'll be working on the car anyways.

E-brake and DRLs

My e-brake handle just doesn't want to stay down. Whenever I hit a bump (and there are lots of them in Toronto) it goes up just enough to activate the e-brake light and turn off the DRLs. That's probably hard on the bulbs and the other motorists must be wondering wtf I'm doing, so I was wondering if...
