Justed wanted to chime in and say that I just bought a 03' LS and I freaking love it. Albeit it's a bit smaller than my previous car (93 MR2). Anyone know how I can find out what came with my car when it left the lot when it was first sold? I have the 1-800-222-5500 number, but it seems that their HQ is based in California where all the fires and winds are at the moment so they have been closed all this week. Just need to find out if my car actually came with a keyless remote system, as I didn't get a remote when I bought the car.

Yokohead posted:MR2 junkie turned Miata convert, I absolutely /love/ this car. I've never had such a silly grin driving around since I bought my first car back in the day. Almost picked up a cherried out '88 MR2.. sold two hours after I talked to the guy, and saw this one immediately after on Craigslist. Hey there ex-MR2 junkie buddy! Had a black 91T before I just recently picked up my 03 Miata in the same color as yours! Good stuff!  @Angor and Guiness : I know some of the NB's of the 01-03 models have that problem. It's called "clutch shudder" or "clutch chatter" See service bulletin Etrips fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Nov 21, 2007 |

So... anyone have any suggestions for some first mod(s)? Perhaps in the $500 range or so? I really have no idea what to do first...  Edit : Bone stock 03 LS

To be honest, I'm satisfied with the power as of right now. Perhaps a little later down the line. As far as in tires, Im plannin on getting some snow tires up in the coming weeks since Im on the east coast (Virginia) where it snows a bit when it comes time.

Someone gartefully left me a quarter size ding on my door today while I was at work and its a drat eyesore.

Hey all, In need of some advise. While driving on the highway today, my 03 miata (23k miles) popped a check engine light. What's my best course of action to get this fixed or what might be a likely problem? Really don't want to have to take in to the stealership if I don't have to Side note, one of my friends said it might be the oil, but I still have another 2k miles or so before another oil change.

So this is my first "new(er)" car that I have ever owned with such low mileage. I'm coming up close to 30k miles, and while I went to go do my oil change today, the sales rep handed me a little brochure for a "Major Service Interval". He gave me a price of $540 to do everything that's listed. Would it be better to go somewhere else to do it or just suck it up and let the stealership do it? Also is there an easy way of removing a dealer sticker decal thing without scratching up my car?

Guinness posted:But is most of it just "Check x, Check y, Check z" and very little actual "Replace x, flush y, adjust z"? Because that's not really any real amount of labor or skill. 03 LS Edit: - Change engine oil and filter - Install Castle oil additive (?) - Check transmission coolant level - Inspect and clean exterior of radiator core\ - Test coolant & flush coolant - Replace air cleaner element - Clutch adjustment - Inspect exhaust system - Replace spark plugs - Adjust ignition timing - Inspect motor transmissions mount - Check ignition wiring and timing control system - Check and adjust idle speeds - Inspect PCV valve - Check fuel lines and connections, change fuel filter - Inspect charcoal canister - Clean and adjust front and rear brakes - Measure brake pads and flush brake lines - Inspect steering operation, tie rod ends and rack guides - Measure tire wear and adjust tire pressure - Rotate and high speed balance all tires - Inspect all fluids - Lubrication of all recommended areas - Install Castle Fuel System Conditioner (?) - Test EGR system and fuel injection system - Clean throttle body Etrips fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Mar 28, 2008 |
