My 1995 Miata M, Here goes nothing

And I have already misplace the antenna mast for the car.  

When to a club get together today.  That was the Maryland Miata Club and I hope to get out there with those guys again real soon!

My M was added to the club registry.  (I didn't know people tracked that sort of thing.)  And another member has a 95 Merlot M also and it is equipped with Panasport wheels.  I was looking online at a used set in Virginia.  I guess I will pass on those now.

I have a short list of thing that I have to attend to on the car and here they are in no particular order.

• Rewire radio.  It has direct power and can be left on.  That should be a simple fix.  (Don't quote me on that.)
• Flush brake system
• Fix parking brake.  Car can roll when brake handle is pulled all the way up.  Maybe calipers, maybe cables.  Doesn't matter.
• Fix horn.  No beep.  Sad face.
• Change all fluids
• Cruise control does not work
• Replace shift knob with something better.  There is really nothing wrong with the one that is on there.  
• Fill gaping DIN hole under radio with block off plate or custom plate with auxiliary gauges
• Fix fuel smell.  Yuck.
• Tires are probably aged out.  I am afraid to look.  Will drive anyway.
• The poor car has wheels from a Scion on it.  No, just no.  Anybody giving away Rota Slipstreams or original BBS wheels?  
• Clean the car and clean some more.  The car received it's first wash today.  It looks a bit better.
• Replace instrument cluster housing.  She broke.

Bigger issues that will wait.  Both 1/4 doglegs have some rust and a bit in the rockers.  Top needs replaced.  And of course other body work and paint.  And it probably needs all 4 shocks.  

Remember!  Buy the best car you can afford!

Sounds great!

Let's see some pics!

When you flush the brakes, also make sure to lube the slider pins. They might need some light sanding to clean up, or they can be replaced fairly inexpensively. That'll help feel, braking power, pad life and possibly fix your parking brake. 

For wheels, get these ones from Nitroracer. Perfect no-hassle fitment and era-appropriate. It's what Mazda put on the 1995 M Speedster show car.

The 95M BBS wheels are $1k a set at least. 

I was looking at FB marketplace/CL and saw a set of 15" Phone dials.  I did not know there were 15" Phone dials.  But alas, wrong lug pattern.

I haven't forgotten your knob.  I just got back into town and remembered it.  I'll look for it tomorrow.

In reply to Stampie :

Outstanding!

And thank you.
