Hey, Jim, go for it - you can start selling H-4 micro adjuster kits, mail
order, for the Miata. You might even get a few orders! (First, I have to
get the H-4s, myself.)

I think this must discussed numerous times in the past but since I don't
have the archive and won't get 'em all, here's the question. When I start
from the standing still and shift to the second around 4500 rpm, I can
gently bring the knob into the second and it'll slide into it with slight
hesitation. But it takes too much time and sometimes I have no choice but
force it into - I think I feel the grinding inside MT. :) Also similar
thing happens from second to third. Now I read somewhere - I think it was
some kind of driving technique book for German sport cars. - in that the
author said push gently the shift knob into the second and at the right
moment, it'll slide into it with easy. He also said never force it into
other slot. Is it true? Am I doing something wrong by forcing into the
second and third too quickly?
BTW, thanks again guys for suggestion. Now I think it takes me only few
seconds to leach 80 kph at third. :) Of course, there's no police car
behind me! I guess free flow exhaust system helps too.
Dennis (^_^;
p.s. Has anyone tried this gadget called Cyclon or Hiclon? My mechanic
mate gave it to me as a present and I installed it inside air intake hose
just before it goes into the engine. It's small cylinder tube with small
turbine inside. The theory behind is the turbine wll rotate inside the sir
intake hose and generate the air flow similar cyclone - hence its name -
and this flow of air gives more complete combustion inside engine which
gives slightly more power. Well, I dunno. BTW is your car goes up to 1200
rpm when first started in the morning and after few minutes goes down to
800 rpm? Mine does all the time - I can't remember if it did before I put
this thing in.

For those OZ Miata owners, did you buy your tonneau cover from Mazda dealer
or third party? If yours third party, that is with two small bumps to
allow seats stay where they are unlike Mazda one, how much did you pay for
and where did you get it? Mazda dealer asks over A$1000 which IMO way too
much. :) Do you you the rear vinyl window replacement kit is A$780? :-O

p.s. Sorry about this message for you guys and gals over there. :)

If God builds Ferraris, is purgatory where you go when heaven is broken? :-)
Of course, there's no correlation of this concept with the location of the
Vatican.

Subject: warranty problems
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 1995 09:53:19 -0500
In May '92, I purchased a new 92 Miata (and I have the paperwork to prove
it). Just last week I brought my car in to a local dealership (not where I
bought my car) to get the soft top zipper fixed (you know how it gets stuck
just behind the driver's seat ...). The work was to be covered under the
3yr/50,000 mile warranty. The local dealership ran the vehicle
identification number through corporate Mazda's computer system to verify
the warranty, and alarmingly told me that the car was "put into service" 9
months prior to when I purchased the car! This means that the warranty
started in Sept '91 and expired on Sept '94. Either the dealership sold me
a used car as new, or they used it as a demo car, or one of the salespeople
drove it around - in any case, the warranty would have begun on this Sept
date, but they NEVER told me. I was sold the car as NEW with a NEW
warranty. I've called Mazda in California, and basically they say it is a
problem that I have to resolve with the dealership from where I purchased my
car. Additionally, this same dealership delivered a 1991 hard top for my
new 92 car when I purchased it. I knew it was not on the up-and-up, because
the hard top they delivered did not have a rear window defroster, and 92 was
the first year it came standard with the hard top. To make a long story
short, I took them to court, settled in mediation, they made a feeble
attempt to add a do-it-yourself defroster to my hard top, it no longer works
