[Miata] Cold!

[MH]

Mine was squeaking on the driver's side.  I took it off for an afternoon
spin early January and now my passenger side is squeaking.  I don't know
what to do to get rid of it.  I have tried tightening everything and
shimming the plate  under the Frankenstein bolt at bit.  Didn't really seem
to help much.

I left my Miata parked at O'Hare for 3 weeks, picking it up in 10 degree
weather on Thursday.  She started right up - no probs.  I did notice this
last weekend that even with Redline MT-90 and 75w90 freshly replaced in the
tranny/diff, the car still felt like I was shifting through mud once the
temp dropped below 0F.  Powersteering was getting a little sticky too. 

The only thing I really don't like is that my hard-top has started to squeak
like styrofoam now that the temps are extremely low.  I just can't get that
sound out of my head.

It's also gotten a lot easier to oversteer around corners even in my snow
tires.  I probably left a dozen burnouts in my wake ;) 

Aside from the hard-top squeaking, I love driving my Miata in the winter
time ...

I turn right out my driveway, Left on the highway, left again after 7
minutes and left again after about another 12.  That's it!  Oh the
injustice!  Did I mention the complete lack of any elevation change?  
 
Our roads are so straight and boring out here, I could fall asleep at the
wheel and wake up in a difference province!

Cold shouldn't be a surprise to anybody that lives that far north! Try 6
degrees and a 25 kt wind in south-eastern Nawth Carolina.  It's supposed to
be warm down here!  Oh yeah, solution to your freezing problem........drive
faster, lots faster.  Your not driving fast enough to create friction and oh
yeah, turn and shift a whole lot!

It has been so cold up in Manitoba that the last two days my clutch fluid
and power steering fluid are freezing while I am driving!  -40°C is just
plain cold!
