//Unusual Rust on Terry’s 1994 Miata

Terry's 1994 Mazda Miata rusted suspension.
Every once in a while you get an unusual repair project
Terry Marino of Sarasota had an unusual rust problem isolated to the front suspension system of his 1994 Mazda Miata. The balance of his Mazda Miata was relatively rust free.

1994 Miata's subframe and lower a-arm.
Terry’s Mazda Miata is not a “northern” car, so the assumption was that the previous owner drove the car through salt water on very regular basis because the areas affected were extensively rusted.

1996 Miata sub-frame installed as on unit.
I determined that easiest and best solution to the heavily rusted lower a-arms and sub-frame was to replace the entire front suspension system minus the shocks, springs and anti-roll bar.

Installed 1996 Miata sub-frame.
Luckily, I happened to have a a 1996 Mazda Miata with good front suspension system. I removed the necessary pieces as one unit and from my 1996 Miata parts car and installed them in Terry’s 1994 Mazda Miata.
If you are going to specialize in one vehicle, it is very wise to have parts cars available. The customer always wins. Terry’s work came out very well and he spent 1/3rd the amount he would have at another shop.

//Walk a mile, win a Mazda Miata
Florida wants to spread the word that its beaches are clean and not sullied by BP oil, and it’s organizing a walk of all 825 miles of its coastline on Saturday, Nov. 6 to obtain photos to post online.
The idea is for different people to each walk a mile on the beach and then, upload photos of that mile online.
Visit Florida, the state’s tourism marketing agency, is organizing the beachwalk and seeking volunteers to walk each of the 825 miles.
After the photos are posted, the agency will hold a contest and ask viewers to vote for their favorite beach mile. Any one who votes will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a Mazda Miata convertible and a $5,000 gift card.
For more on the 825-mile beach walk, visit visitflorida.com/beachwalk/
//Miata Valve Cover Gasket Repair

Mazda Miata Cylinder Head
Leaking valve cover gaskets are a not uncommon to see on older Mazda Miatas. The rubber that a valve cover gasket is made of will turn hard and brittle if left unserviced for a long period of time. Leaking valve cover gaskets can cause problems.

Mazda Miata valve cover gasket now hard and brittle
The valve cover gasket on the NA and NB Miatas not only seals the outer edge of the valve cover, but also seals the spark plug galleys where the sparks plugs and ignition wires live.

Breaking surface tension on Miata cylinder head.
Motor oil and ignition wires don’t mix. The motor oil causes the ignition wire boots to swell and self destruct. This condition can ignition misfires and noticeable performance drops. When I see a leaking valve cover gasket I immediately inspect the spark plug galleys for any motor oil intrusion.

Miata valve cover, clean inside and out.
I have replaced many Mazda Miata valve cover gaskets and I have found that even with the upmost care that a new valve cover gaskets can leak soon after its installation. New valve cover gaskets don’t leak badly, but any leaking really drives me crazy. It must be some of my German heritage sneaking through.

Light coat of aircraft sealant.
When installing a new valve cover gasket, I like to get all parts and sufaces as clean as possible before reassembly. I also like to break the surface tension of the cylinder head by sanding the cylinder head surface with an abrasive emory cloth. I also use a light coat of air craft sealant on both mating surfaces.

//Mazda Truck Now Radio Flyer
Ever miss your childhood days riding around in a red wagon?

Mazda B1600 Pick-Up
A Wasilla, Alaska, couple have the answer: A full-sized pickup truck that has been converted into a giant vehicle that looks like one of the red toy wagons sold for decades by the American company Radio Flyer.
Fred Keller and Judy Foster worked on the vehicle for 11 months, using the base of a 1976 Mazda B1600 pickup truck.

//Mazda Miata Radiator Hose Pipe Corrosion

Bad NA Miata hose pipe corrosion.
It is very important to make sure every aspect of the cooling system on the early Mazda Miata NAs is in good shape. This means hoses, radiator fans, condenser fans, fan switches, radiators, thermostats, radiator caps, heater hoses. The cooling system has to be right as your Miata gets older.
The early NA Mazda Miatas from 1990-1997 have two lower radiator hoses. One is called the Lower Radiator Hose which exits the radiator and joins, what I call the “Lower Radiator Hose Pipe which is made of steal. The second hose, the Lower Middle Radiator Hose attaches to the other end of the metal Radiator Hose Pipe and then joins to the water pump inlet. So, you have two rubber radiator hoses separated by a metal hose/pipe. Again, one long hose made up of basically three hoses, one is metal.

Miata hose pipe refurbished and protected.
Well, typically what I see when replacing the two lower radiator hoses is that the metal hose/pipe has rusted on both ends. Not good. When I replace the lower radiator hoses, I also remove the hose/pipe and refurbish the metal hose/pipe so that metal pipe does not rust again once the new lower radiator hoses are fitted.

//Mazda Miata NB Window Switch Failure

Notice a very small black plastic actuator missing?
The combination window switch that operates the left and right windows in the Mazda Miata changed designs from the Mazda Miata NA of 1990-1997 to the Mazda Miata NB of 1998-2005.
The early NA window switch design is mechanic friendly, in that, one can disassemble the switch entirely, clean, service and rebuild it in order to make it function again.
The switch from the NB Miata is a mechanically weaker switch. The NB switch will fail, but the ability to rebuild it is not possible because a very small but very important portion of the up and down plastic touch pads breaks. The portion of the pad that breaks is so small it can’t be fixed. The entire switch has to replaced.
The early Mazda Miata NA switch is hardy and can be serviced and repaired using parts from other switches.

//Mazda MX-5 Miata – What the Auto Press Says

Ranked #1 affordable sportcar
The 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata ranks 1 out of 5 Affordable Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 65 published reviews and test drives of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a dream, especially for sports car enthusiasts on a budget. It’s quick, agile, great on gas and reliable. Plus, the Miata holds its value longer than of its competitors.
The Miata carries into 2011 largely unchanged — which doesn’t bother critics and enthusiasts. Its combination of thrilling handling, impressive build quality and long-term value isn’t anything to scoff at. And though it’s no high-end luxury roadster, you can’t tell when you sit behind the wheel. “This little Mazda delivers as much driving enjoyment — if not outright power — as 2-seat sports cars costing thousands more,” writes Consumer Guide.
