If bolt pattern and offset are the same then bolt one on and make sure that the brake clearance is ok. If perchance the center bore was smaller then you wouldn’t be able to get the wheel on. If the center bore was larger the lug nuts will center the wheel when tightened. I’d like to think...
Awesome, I have a Guardian Designs wheel on my Miata and absolutely love it. Mine’s pretty simple, seamless w/a noon marker in Napa leather. They make a great product and are very popular in the Miata world.

Do a search, lots of threads regarding a compact spare.
06421-3S5-A10 - TEMPORARY KIT
This kit contains a new piece of foam, tools, a rim and a valve. You have to buy the tire separately, I got a Continental spare at Discount tire.
The piano black trim around the shifter was already getting scratched up after a year so I decided to give the Jogon carbon parts a try.
No issues with marking of “green edges”. So it looks like they got their quality control straightened out. The fit around the controls is spot on, the...
Unfortunately, as other posters mentioned, it’s pretty common. Mazda has a color called Soul Red, I’ve seen a bunch of Miata’s at club meets where the match isn’t even close. Not a color I’d pick for that reason.
I did want the blue when I was buying the car but the nearest one with a black...

Geez, it’s $157.99, I paid $170, they lowered the price since I got it. The shipping was free. This includes everything but the spare tire. I got the spare at Discount tire, can’t remember the size off the top of my...
Why they didn’t include the spare is beyond me. I know it’s convenient to get the whole kit from the dealer but you could have saved some money by buying the kit online (the actual spare tire kit doesn’t include the tire) and purchasing the the Continental spare, which is significantly less...
I had a post about this last winter when the road was white with salt and in the bright sun. I didn’t see a motor cycle, but a phantom tractor trailer dance across the screen.

You can find the lock cores on amazon or ebay. You’ll need a 4 pack. They’re not cheap, but I had a set from an old rack. All my covers seem to fit tight, in fact I have to push on them when I’m turning the key, even with the OEM plastic lock. Maybe if you bend the tab where the lock goes into...
While putting the OEM rack on the car I noticed that the “business end” of the cheap plastic lock that comes with the rack looks the same as a Thule rack lock. I took out the plastic lock and compared it with a Thule lock core. Yup, the same. I’ve been using Thule racks since cars had real...
Have the rim spun before you put a new tire on it, it may be bent (been there, done that).. If it isn’t bent too bad it can be straightened. I used a company called Rim Doctor. They can also fix the finish. Not cheap, but less than a new OEM rim.
While a 45 should work it will screw up the speedometer and odometer readings. It’d be best to go down to a 17 inch rim and get a tire size that maintains the correct outer circumference. For winter tires I have 17 inch rims with 215/50/17. If you want to go wider 235/45/17 will also have the...
Sorry, no pictures. I have the OEM rack and it works just fine with my Thule bike carriers. A lot cheaper than the Yakima set up. I ordered from Bernardi Acura which seemed to have the cheapest price and free shipping at the time.
The miata forum (miata.net) is alive and well with hundreds of new posts each day, where rides are planned and silliness and chaos ensues along with great tech tips to keep your ride in top condition.
I was up in Bangor over the weekend to see my son, it was a great day Saturday. After hearing the weather report I left very early Monday morning to beat the chaos. Still waiting to get my Miata out of the barn, maybe next week. In upstate NY we’ve had a lot of rain to wash the salt off the...
I have a Battery Tender brand for over 15 years and use it every winter for my Miata battery. Still working. Not sure which model, probably been replaced by another model after all these years.
3 burns my butt and is unusable for me, 2 is good to warm up the seat, but even that gets too warm after 5 minutes, I then turn it down to 1. Of course we’re all different, but if the 3 setting doesn’t feel warm enough I’m going with the heater is defective. Does the passenger seat work the same?
I have the Blizzak WS-90s on my car. I ski, so I tend to drive in a lot of crappy conditions and they do good on unplowed roads as long as the snow doesn’t get too deep.
