Yes it is legal to move the battery to the trunk in SM. Just make sure it is securely bolted down. I would recommend a plastic marine battery box. This may save you from corrosion and protect other things in your trunk. Also, unless it is a spiral wound type like Optima, there is the issue with a ve...

Here is a link to Mouton's site. It does not have 2004 updates yet, but probably will soon.

I second Mark's suggestion but would make it more comprehensive. I get tired of talking about floor mats, wheel covers, and loose crap. a. Tires - no cord showing and inflated above normal road pressures to prevent excessive roll. (If unsure, start with 35-40 psi and inspect after first run. An expe...

Cone,

Yes, there is a regular board meeting tonight which is open to all members.

Dick's post is about the AutoX committee meeting.

I just talked to the one dealer in the U.S. that is carrying the Z211, and some other sizes will be available in January. But not my size. The only 16" size is a 225. The current Miata tire is priced in the $125 range. I would expect the 16" to be in the $140s which will put them in betwee...

Hey you Spec Miata guys, how much do these tires cost in your size?

They are going to make a size for me and I might try them if I can wait that long.

Cone Junkie, Stu tells me that I got taken with your joke. Oh well, its not the first time.

No, it is an R compound tire. Comparable to AS03 or Kumho V700

With that size wheel, it is more of an issue as to what will fit the car, i.e. clear the fender lock to lock and clear the suspension parts. There are bound to be Mazda enthusiast forums that have threads on this subject. Also Lohan can probably guide you. Lower the aspect ratio a little to keep the...

But it doesn't get dark in Vegas!
