Expert Answers about Mazda Miata


  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 1993 Mazda Miata
  • For the 1993 Mazda Miata there are several trunk mount bike racks that will fit. I have included a link to the options for you. My number 1 pick for a 2-bike rack is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. What makes this rack so great is the 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks that make installation faster and easier than any other bike rack I have used. I own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is by far the best one I have used. If you will be carrying any bikes that...

  • Hollywood Racks Baja 2 # HRB2 Bike Rack Installation on a 1993 Mazda Miata
  • The Hollywood Rack Baja 2 will install directly on the trunk of your 1993 Miata.

Then flip the lever that will lock the hubs into place. Our installation notes also state that you can use the tow loops on the side of the vehicle to attach straps or hooks, and the...

  • The new versions of the Thule Hitch Mounted Bike Racks, like the Thule Passenger 2 # TH910XT, feature cushioned anti-sway cradles that help prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact, and soft rubber pads to protect your vehicle's paint.

This is the best way to reduce any light surface scratches that could appear...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1999 Mazda Miata
  • You'll be able to use most of the parts you have already depending on what you have but you will definitely need a new base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # 711-4 as that portion is vehicle specific. Your Falcon tow bar # RM-520 will work as-is though. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing if you old setup was a permanent install kit. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to...

  • 2" Hitch Bike Rack With Shank Rise For A Lowered 1991 Mazda Miata
  • The Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # SA4025F, you attached to your question is an excellent choice. It has a rise of 5" from the shank. The 5" in shank rise should be enough for your bike tires to avoid being heated by the exhaust. You will not find a more significant rise without adding a hitch extender, but keep in mind when you add a hitch extender you reduce the maximum tongue weight of your bike rack by 50%. I have included a...

  • Trailer wiring for 2000 Mazda Miata

This kit will give you the adaptation needed to make the 3 wire system with separate turn and stop lights in your Miata work with a 2 wire system that is standard tail light wiring on a trailer.

  • Curt Trailer Hitch for a 1991 Mazda Miata for Carrying a Bike Rack
  • If you are looking for a hitch for your 1991 Mazda Miata that can have a bike rack installed in it you would want the Curt part # C11729.

This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info. Curt...

  • Troubleshooting Blazer Trailer Tail Light C7493RTM That Stopped Working
  • First check to make sure the light is grounded properly. That is typically what causes a trailer light to stop working. Especially when the light is an LED that doesn't normally burn out. The light # C7493RTM that you referenced has a sealed lens that does not allow you to get into it. Plus the LED light inside it is not like a standard bulb that is easily replaced. Try improving the ground first. That will most likely fix the problem. I attached a couple help articles on troubleshooting...

  • Adapter to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with EZ4 Base Plates Using a Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • The adapter # RM-032 is a match for the EZ4 base plate kit that fits your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, part # RM-521448-4. There is no adjsutment to be made. If you need other parts to setup the Jeep to be towed I recommend using the Hopkins wiring kit, part # HM56200, for lighting. It plugs in behind the Jeep's tail lights and provides a 4-way at the front to connect to the RV. You also need a Brake-Lite relay, part # RM-88400, to keep the Wrangler's lights from overriding the RV's....

  • What is the Most Economical Way to Flat Tow a 1994 Mazda Miata with a Nissan Murano
  • I recommend going with the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 711-4 for your 1994 Mazda Miata because it has removable arms which will give your Miata more of an OEM look when you are not towing it with your Nissan Murano. A more economical option would be the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit # 711-2, but it does not have removable arms. You can use the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar, 5,000 lbs # 63180 that you referenced, but you will also need the Adapter # RM-025 and if you choose the base...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Cargo Carrier For Golf Clubs On 1990 Mazda Miata Convertible
  • We do not have a trunk-mount cargo carrier that would be able to handle your golf bag or bags.

This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. A note from Curt says all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly...
