Re: 1998 S70 T5 Towing another car
I poked around the miata.net forum (I have a Miata, but have never towed it). Wide variety of advice and experiences there. Google "miata towing healeyman" - this Miata member seems to have the best advice. From my readings on the miata forum- trailer is best, but won't work for you due t...

Re: 1998 S70 T5 Towing another car
Matt, by NA do you mean naturally aspirated? My S70 is a T5 in that case. I'm also not familiar with the tow bar method. What attaches to the miata and what attaches to the Volvo? Do I still need a tow package for the S70?

Re: 1998 S70 Strange noise when rolling slowly
I had this exact noise recently on my V70. The rear pads were so worn they metal backing shims started to rub on the rotor. Strangely there were no warning squeaks. No damage was done but I replaced the rotors when I did the pads and shoes anyway.

Re: 1998 S70 T5 Towing another car
Your mileage will drop from roughly 30 to 15,mpg in my experience with this NYC to Nashville roughly 900 miles, so 120 bucks of gas one way solo. 240 bucks gas towing, one way plus dolly rental of 100 USd. Probably still cheaper than uship, but not cheaper than giving it to a college kid for cheap ...

Re: 1998 S70 T5 Door lock broken - turns more than normal
Here is the quarter panel with the carpet pulled up. I cannot find a release. http://i44.tinypic.com/90u05v.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/90u05v.jpg EDIT: The S70 does not have the coat hanger wire. You have to pull the tab on the actuator to release the door. Takes some small fingers to get in there. ...

Re: 1998 S70 T5 Door lock broken - turns more than normal
It definitely seems like the actuator is bad. So I cannot unlock the gas door because of this issue. There must be some emergency release right? I searched the forums and looked behind the rear tail light and lifted up the carpet on the rear passenger quarter panel and tried to find a button.

1998 S70 T5 Door lock broken - turns more than normal
Hey guys. I always open my car with the key and not the remote, and have been on this car for years. So today when I went to turn the key in the driver's door to open the car, my key turned more than the 1/8th turn it takes for the lock to open. The key did about half of a rotation and then got stuc...

Re: 1999 V70 GLT Valve Tick Question
So I ordered all the parts necessary. We made an appointment with the mechanic to bring the car in. He said my father could keep driving the car in the meantime. Yesterday as he was driving, there was a cloud of black smoke out of the tailpipe. All the oil was gone after he stopped. We towed it to t...
