I wouldn’t trust the gauge on the inflator. Buy an accurate tire pressure gauge. I have a Jaco which claims to be 0.5% of reading accurate. The TPMS sensors in my car track with the gauge.

I went down to 17” wheels to get more sidewall for the winter tires. I got some Borbet wheels and they seemed to have handled the salt well. Got 215/50/17 Blizzak WS90s to go with them...

I have the same size Blizzaks on some Borbet rims, the tires work great in heavy snow! My Miata stays in the garage for the winter, the integra is my winter beater. Got 2 feet of snow today, and still snowing. I’ll see how the tires work tomorrow.

I probably didn’t explain very well. The link from discount tire does a better job. https://www.discounttire.com/learn/tpms-info/tpms-facts

Bullet number 2 is wrong. That’s how “Indirect” TPMS works. No actual sensor in the wheel, revolutions per time are counted, if the wheel has more revolutions than predicted based on the last “reset” of the system then the TPMS light will come on. An old Matrix that my wife had used this type...

That’s odd that it took so long. Just put my snow tires w/Tirerack sensors on and the sensors synced up with the car within a mile.

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. https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=594029&page=121&highlight=guardian+designs

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...

https://acura.bernardiparts.com/Products/TEMPORARY-KIT__06421-3S5-A10.aspx 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 have sensors from tirerack. Yup, just put them on the car and drive, within a mile the pressures show up on the screen.

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. https://www.integraforums.com/forum/threads/i-brake-for-ghosts.53570/#post-872857

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.
