Wondering what is behind the issue to public.

Ciao a tutti,

         come da oggetto, ho effettuato il tagliando dei 100.000 Km alla mia
amatissima Miata, nel quale mi è stata sostituita anche la cinghia di
distribuzione.

 Adesso però sento, a motore acceso, un sibilo molto fastidioso. Non riesco
a
 capire se sia la cinghia nuova, che magari si deve adattare, oppure i
 cuscinetti del tendicinghia (non sostituiti perchè il mecca prima di
montare
 la cinghia nuova ha detto di averli controllati e trovati in perfette
 condizioni) o qualche altra cosa. In particolare mi pare che il sibilo
*non*
 aumenti al variare dei giri motore o, se aumenta, lo fa in modo poco
 percettibile.
 Ieri sera ero a cofano aperto, stavo facendo sentire il sibilo a mio padre,
 quando questo sibilo ha iniziato a sentirsi a tratti, e ad un cero punto è
 addirittura scomparso. Dopo circa 2 ore ho ripreso la macchina, ed il
sibilo
 è riapparso, senza più sparire. Stesera prendo l’auto, a motore freddo era
 silenziosa, poi dopo qualche chilometro riprende il sibilo fastidioso…la
 cosa sta iniziando a dare molto fastidio!!
 Ho anche pensato, visto che non sembra variare al n° dei giri, che possa
 essere una lamierina, magari la copertura dei collettori di scarico, che
 risuona o vibra, ma francamente ci credo poco anche io…

 Voi che cosa ne pensate?!
 Grazie a tutti,
 Teo

TEST: New ISP.

For Sale,  OEM Cassete player from my 97. I upgraded to CD, thats the
only reason for the sale. Works fine.e-mail me with an offer ,add
shipping from Atlanta.  erdav…@bellsouth.net

I have for sale the OEM CD Player, door speakers and tweeters that came with my
2000 miata.

Interesting suggestions for door speakers.. I have a ’94 Silverstone 1.8i and
use Alpine STM 6666 Marine speakers in both doors and rear deck with an active
Pioneer Cyclone sub in the spare wheel… This gives fabulous sound and the
coated cones are everything resistant (as they are marine speakers!!) It’s as
if they were designed for the Roadster!!
