Expert Answers about Mazda Miata


  • Converting Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights on a Motor Home to Combined to Use a Light Kit
  • I will be happy to help you out. The separate brake light circuit is going to have to be combined with the turn signals in order to use a light kit with a 4-Pole connector. There is a special converter for this, # RM-732. On the input side you will connect the right turn signal wire to the green lead, the left turn signal wire to the yellow lead, and the brake light wire to the red lead. The converter will properly combine the signals and on the output side you will have green for right...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1990 Mazda Miata
  • The first thing you need to flat to your 1990 Mazda Miata is a base plate kit which attaches to the frame of the vehicle and provides a connection for a tow bar to flat tow it. For that you'd need the part # 711-4 which is a confirmed fit. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which...

  • Recommended 2-Bike Trunk Mounted Rack for 2003 Mazda Miata with Rear Spoiler
  • If your 2003 Mazda Miata has the rear spoiler, I do recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 to transport your bikes. This particular rack is designed specifically for vehicles like yours that feature a prominent spoiler. The high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options will prevent damage to the spoiler and your vehicle. The carrier can transport up to 2 bikes at 35 pounds each and has a nice folding design for easy and compact storage. I have...

  • Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for 2003 Mazda Miata
  • It doesn't look like Roadmaster ever test fit the Invisibrake in a 2003 Mazda Miata so while I can't say for sure I do have a great option. The SMI DUO part # SM99251 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and among the permanent install braking kits we offer for flat towing this is our installers favorite kit. It installs the easiest and works the best. I would highly recommend you go with this kit.

  • Will Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier Fit 1999 Mazda Miata MX5
  • For your 1999 Mazda Miata mx5 the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount Item # TH910XT is a confirmed fit and would work well. This rack is designed for temporary installs like what you mentioned so it would be a great solution. Install and removal is pretty easy. Check out the review video I attached for more info on that process as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike...

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar, Wiring, Safety Cables, Braking System to Flat Tow a 2005 Mazda Miata
  • To flat tow your 2005 Mazda Miata you would first need Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 711-4, that you have referenced. Please note these base plates will not fit the Mazdaspeed version of the Miata. Next, you would need a tow bar compatible with the XL style base plates, like the RoadMaster Falcon 2, # RM-520. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review for reference. To complete the towing set up for your Miata, you will need safety cables, lighting, and a supplemental...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Mazda Miata and a Bike Rack
  • The trailer hitch in question that installs at an angle on your 2000 Mazda Miata is # C11755V. It is not meant to install in any other way other than what is stated in the instructions. But there is a hitch with the receiver that is horizontal and it is # C11749. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum...

  • 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...

  • Components Needed To Flat-Tow 1993 Mazda Miata Behind Motorhome
  • You sure can flat-tow your 1993 Miata behind your motorhome. Since we only offer Roadmaster base plates for your vehicle you have a couple options. I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 711-4. If you decide you want to go with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar, part # BX7380, you will need the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox Tow Bars Adapter, part # RM-033. Then you will need the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, part # RM-201. If you decide this is too many components...

  • 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...

  • 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. The only solution I have for your Miata convertible is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted carrier. The trailer hitch I recommend is part # C11729. 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...

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2000 Mazda Miata
  • The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR measures 13-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar in the 1-1/4 inch configuration. This bike rack will fit your class I , 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch. However, you will only be able to carry 2 bikes, not the 4 that the rack could hold. It is extremely important that you stick with this 2-bike limit. You might want to instead consider a bike rack that will fit a Class I hitch and that holds 2 bikes, I recommend the Curt...

  • Can Curt Tow Bar Attach to Base Plate Kit that Fits 2002 Mazda Miata
  • For your Curt Tow Bar part # C19745 you can attach it to Blue Ox base plate kits with the adapter part # BX8833. There isn't a way to attach the Curt tow bar to Roadmaster base plates. If you have a 2002 Mazda Miata like I believe you do you'd want the base plate kit part # BX2514 and you'd be set with the adapter # BX8833.

  • Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Mazda Miata with Spoiler
  • For your 2004 Mazda Miata that has a spoiler I would recommend the Hollywood Racks Expedition part # HRF6-2 as it is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and because it was specifically designed to fit over vehicle spoilers without putting any pressure on them so it would be perfect. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1994 Mazda Miata
  • For your 1994 Mazda Miata you will need to purchase the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 711-4. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the # RM-2120, and not have to worry about cutting...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for a 2014 Mazda CX9
  • I do have a great trailer brake controller option for a 2014 Mazda CX9 but nothing will be completely plug-in-play. That said, I do have an option that will not require any splicing into the vehicle, you must first start with a four way trailer connector and if you don't already have one I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 56016. This can then be converted into a seven way using an adapter like the 4 to 7-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness part # ETBC7L. This will then...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1991 Mazda Miata
  • In addition to the Tow Ready Tow Bar # 63180 referenced in your question, you will also need a base plate kit, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. I also highly recommend taking a look at the owner's manual for your vehicle to check on any guidelines or restrictions when it comes to towing it with all four wheels on the ground. When using the Tow Ready Tow Bar, you will indeed need a 2 inch hitch ball like # A-90 on your RV...
