Thanks for the information. I will be looking at a couple of cars next week. As for the vlsd, there is no way to visually check if the car has it or not, but it can be checked if the car is lifted...
Thanks for the info. I tried reach down into the door already but I couldnt find anything. I will try and remove the speaker and see if I can get the bolt back that way. Im assuming the bolt goes...
I'm looking to buy a used low kilometer 1990 Mazda miata for the wife. Anybody own a 1990 miata or know of any major issues? Everything I found online has nothing but good things to say about it.
My front passenger door handle has just come loose when opening it from the outside. When the handle is pulled, it pulls the left side of the assembly out of the door. I opened the panel from the...

Thanks spell check.... lol....and yes, it is for the wife as I am over 6ft tall and doubt I will even fit in this thing. Thanks for the info everyone. Will update if and when I make a purchase.
I will definately take the car to a trusted mechanic before purchasing to ensure that I don't purchase a lemon and that everything is in working order. And wow 372000km's is quite amazing. Thanks for...
Thanks for the info. The interior problems are not an issue as that is something that I can fix myself. I don't know about average costs with this car so if your brother had work done at a shop, is...

2. Minor mechanical issues
3. Rust on rear wheel wells, pillars.
4. As long as its not done at the dealer its not too bad. Mazda parts are slightly on the expensive...
Does anyone have or know someone who owns a 1998 - 2000 Mercedes SLK 230. I am looking at purchasing one for the wife and would like to get some information from someone who owns one.

I purchased a Nikon D5000 new with an 18-200 zoom lens for under $900. If you are starting this is a great camera because of the easy to use help function that tells you how to do everything. Also...
I just use a trunk mounted bike rack. I've taken it long distance with 2 bikes and have driven at 110km/hr and it seems to work just fine. Something like this...

My mistake. I was too eager to get the news out.
Just caught this on leftlane news for those interested. Happy face is slightly toned down and a more fuel efficient engine.

You can get a free diagnostics check at most part sourse locations. I had the same code come up recently.
This is the new styling that Mazda is going to use in the future. It will probably be applied to the new RX-7 if it does come out.

Hey klym... any word on what the problem is or what it could be?
I replaced All 4 pads and the rear rotors. The front rotors are still OEM. The noise was there even before I replaced the pads with the ceramic ones. I have no idea what is causing it but it is quite...
Ok, I did a search and I am not sure if the sqeeling problem other people have mentioned is the same as mine. The brakes work fine in terms of performance but when I am at a full stop and very slowly...

Thanks for the info.
Anyone have one or know anyone who has one? I am looking into trading the 3 in for a small SUV as it would match my needs better. I am always hauling stuff around so I need something bigger. Is it...
I don't understand why these parts are wearing out so quickly. I have an AT 04' GT that I purchased used at 30,000km so when I had to get my rear pads and rotors replaced at 45,000km I said sure,...
