Subject: Speaker Foam & Warm Miata
   Date: Tue, 11 Oct 1994 12:51:16 -0400

As long as we've got the door panels off to fix the window crank cable,
does anyone have a template or measurements of what size/shape foam
rubber to cut to go around the speaker so the plastic doesn't buzz
when the stereo is loud and the bass is thumping?  That buzz is so
annoying that I've given up playing some of my favorite tapes in Wendy.

PR Motorsports in Hayward will be installing power mirrors, PIAA fog
lights and a track bar for me (as soon as the track bar arrives) and
as long as they have the door panels off I thought I might as well
provide them some foam to put in.  (With what?  Glue?  Scotch tape?)

I bought these goodies with the money I got from selling the '94
polished alloy wheels I won at Gold Rush.  Winning bid was $675.

On another tack (pun intended), has anyone noticed that their '90
seems to be warm inside all the time?  It's nice in the winter but
icky in the summer to have warm air gently blowing on you all the
time.  How do you turn everything OFF so there's no ventilation through
the vents?  I've tried everything I could think of, including setting
the outside/inside air slider in the middle (which meant "off" in my
'77 Buick, but not my '90 Mazda!).

Normally I don't mind being warm and buzzy, but not while I'm driving
in the summer heat trying to enjoy my music!

Can anyone help?
