Expert Answers about Mazda Miata

Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Mazda Miata
The Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2004 Mazda Miata and it does not have adjustable height arms. However, that adjustment is so that the arms are level while on the vehicle. Not for varying heights. Hanging style bike racks aren't designed so that the rack attaches to the lower tube of the bicycle so I can't safely recommend you do that. Your best bet would be to use a frame adapter like the part # 64005. You should have enough...

What Parts And Accessories Do I Need To Flat-Tow 1990 Mazda Miata MX-5 Behind 2001 Winnebago Brave
To flat-tow your 1990 Mazda Miata MX-5 behind your 2001 Winnebago Brave, you will need base plates, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle wiring or lights, and a supplemental braking system. For a base plate kit, you will need Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 711-4. The XL Base Plate Kit features removable draw bars, so when you are not towing your Miata, the base plate brackets are less visible. For a tow bar, I would recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520. The Falcon...

Comparison Between Borla and Magnaflow Exhaust Tone for a 1991 Mazda Miata
Typically, Magnaflow and Borla will sound very similar with Borla systems usually being a little bit louder. But really the best way to compare is to look up video clips of both systems on your vehicle on youtube and go with the one that you like better. Also, since I am not sure which Borla system you are referring to it is pretty hard for me to speculate on how differently they would sound.

Base Plate Kit Recommendation for Flat Towing 1992 Mazda Miata
We do sell a base plate kit for a 1992 Mazda Miata. For that you would want the part # 711-4 which is a confirmed fit.

Will Curt Wiring Harness # C56175 Fit 1997 Mazda Miata
The Curt wiring harness # C56175 that you referenced is a fit for the 1997 Mazda Miata so long as your Miata does not have LED taillights. Given the model year of the vehicle it likely uses standard incandescent bulbs which are compatible with this trailer wiring harness. This kit includes zip ties and quick-splice connectors. Wiring is best done with a tester like # PTW2992 to enable you to confirm the function carried by each wire on the Miata. Wire colors cannot be relied upon for identifying...

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...

Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack Weight
The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18085 has a shipping weight of 50lbs and packaging probably weighs 2-3lbs so 46lbs is the correct weight. This hitch has an extra folding feature the others don't which adds more weight and that along with the 10" rise and less plastic used is most likely the difference in weight compared to the others.

Base Plates, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Wiring to Flat Tow 1991 Mazda Miata MX-5
The first item you will need to flat tow your 1991 Mazda Miata are base plates. We carry two different options of base plates for your vehicle. First are the XL Plates, # 711-4. These have removable drawbars held in place with a pin and clip. With the drawbars removed the base plates are virtually invisible. For these, trimming of the spoiler, air damn, grille, or plastic fascia may be required for installation. The other option are Standard Plates, # 711-2. These are fixed brackets and...

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...

Base Plate With Removable Arms For Flat Towing a 2000 Mazda Miata With Blue Ox Tow Bars
Currently the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 711-4 is the only base plate we have available for your 2000 Mazda Miata with removable arms. As you were looking at the Blue Ox # BX2514 I am assuming you have a Blue Ox tow bar. You can use the Roadmaster Adapter Kit # RO64FR to use the Roadmaster base plate with your Blue Ox tow bar. The base plate will require a Quick Disconnect Crossbar # 910021-00. The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will...

Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Install that Shows No Blinkers but Other Circuits are Active
If you test the pins of the 4-way right now do they flash with the blinkers? It's bizzare that the higher drawing circuits of stop and running lights would work but the blinkers would not. Typically that's a converter box issue so let me know if those circuits test positive with a tester. If not test the input side of the box too to see if the correct voltage is making it into the box. If not, then the issue is connections.

Storage Cover for a 36 Foot 1994 Holiday Rambler Imperial
The available RV covers will fit your 1994 Holiday Rambler Imperial but they won't be an exact fit. Going with a 37 foot long cover such as # AD39ZR will work, despite being wider, and some of the slack will compensate for the ladder and AC units. With the cover properly secured it will do a good job of protecting the RV.

Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for 1992 Mazda Miata
The Thule Passage 2 Bike Model, part # TH910XT would be a fit for your Miata. The rack is definitely a no-frills option, but Thule makes an excellent product and this rack would work great for you. The top of the line option would be the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. Rather than the 4-6 difficult to use straps and buckles used by other racks (including the Passage) the Raceway uses only 2 rubber coated straps that allow the rack to be installed or removed in seconds without having to fiddle...

Is Sealant Tape Needed to Install the Derale Engine Oil Cooler # D15602?
Yes. According to the installation instructions, you need to use the included thread sealant tape to install the two 3/8” NPT x 1/2” hose barbs into the sandwich adapter of the Derale Engine Oil Cooler # D15602. If you need sealant tape, I recommend using the # 37207-30025. This tape is approved for use of temperatures between -450 F to 500 F.

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...
