2025 CT4V BW MT, stock. My left rear tire continues to have a slow leak. Fortunately, my Miata has a pump so I can fill it from time to time. Clearly something going on. I've never had a car w/ run flats, is this a fixable thing or do I need a new tire?

Thanks, I didn't even think about Costco, was there yesterday. I'm going bigger than a brick cuz I'm used to fast inflation and the bricks take too long for me.

Here's an odd thing that happened when I was inflating my rear driver's side tire. I had a low pressure indication so I pulled out my inflator and started to pump. As I was doing so, I noticed that the driver's rear taillight flashed. Not both, just the one closest to me. Is that normal? If...

Anyone used this on a newer CT4V BW? I have a 2025 and checked mine actually doesn't have that gap mentioned. Any other options that provide a secure mount? My iphone leather case is too thick for the CT4V's weak charger so I need a real mounting option that isn't vent-based. I've broken too...

SWEET LORD. Those clips were a pain in the... I don't have a lift and had to do it blind. I had to resort to rolling onto a brick to get a better look. The 2 outside ones were OK but the middle one was hard to reach and when it did pop out, it flew into the front fascia and I can't find it...

My only must haves were MT and sticker. I landed one that had a sunroof. Argent wasn't my first choice (cyber was) and I thought I'd miss the PDR and carbon pieces. After 6 months of angle entry/exit out of every dang driveway, speed bump, etc., I'm kinda glad I don't have to sweat carbon...

Check my post from last year. I had a similar list

Thanks all. Unfortunately, it's not just a scuff, it's a bit gouged so a replacement part would probably be the easiest option.

ARGH. Been raining so haven't washed the car to note any blemishes over the last few weeks. Dealer says this is about $270 but service manager still hasn't texted the part number. What's the part number for a CT4V BW? Any place other than dealer that I can order? Any chance I can replace...

I had a good experience w/ Tustin back in October. I purchased my mostly base 4BW MT at sticker. Saw it on Monday, flew down on Friday to pick it up and drive it back to the Bay Area.

That’s a LOUD motor for a gas cap door

Owner since last October, loving this thing, even when I have deal with shifting in traffic up a slight incline. Haven't spent a lot of time on downtown San Francisco hills. On the one occasion, I just hit the P button and let it release automatically when the light turned green. Still, I get...

Yeah, unfortunately it developed a knock and I don't want to bother opening it up to realize it needs a new block. Hence, my path to the BW and here I am.

I have a 2009 Miata Sport manual. It's close to perfect for a small, zippy manual. My only complaint as a 5' 6" driver, the clutch engagement feels unnecessarily long. It was longer than my 1968 Barracuda 5 speed Tremec.

I had to jump my FJ the other week and I was puzzled under the hood. I had to go back home and look at the manual...
