Hi,
I just bought a '93 'V-Special' Edition Miata, and had the following questions:
1) The suspension has been lowered slightly by the previous owner, but I remember driving a Miata with a stock suspension setup last month, and I prefer that 'softer' ride. I was wondering if deflating/inflating the tyre pressure would help here. Can someone suggest an appropriate pressure (in psi preferably?) Or another way to soften the ride other than altering suspension?2) Parking on a steep hill with the handbrake up causes the Miata to make a horrible screechy noise for a good few seconds. It also has to be pulled right up, very hard, to get it to stop rolling back. Engaging first or reverse helps, but its like it wants to roll down! Is this normal, given its a fairly steep slope?
3) The rear plastic on the softop (to see out of the back) is in terrible condition and requires replacing. The manufacturerar quotes a sum of about $500, and I was told doing it from anyone else risks water leakage. Is there any truth to this, and do the majority of owners use side mirrors rather than the interior?Thanks for your help,
M
