    Default Little stuff with my new old car.

    Just got my blue 90 Miata yesterday. I love it. Only problem so far is the parking brake doesn't work. The lever feels tight, but it does absolutely nothing to stop the car. Where should I start looking? I ordered manuals but haven't gotten them yet.

    He mentioned the Mazda Miata Workshop Manual. Is there only one version of that, or a particular one I need to look for?

    ^ I have the 1.8 version of this manual...it's a good one IMO.
