Category: Mazda MX-5, RX7 & RX8 Forum

Good evening! I apologize in advance, if the text is a little longer, but I am VERY grateful for the answers! I am 19 years old from tomorrow and trained car salesman in the first year of my apprenticeship and therefore have no technical knowledge and experience, but would very much like to acquire some, because it is my dream to work as a hobby on my own car. Since I have been enthusiastic about the MX-5 of the first generation for a long time, I have decided now to Whether my decision is reasonable or unreasonable, let’s put it that way. What I wanted to ask, however, is whether it is even possible to buy a initially carelessly mobile MX-5 NA for a maximum of €3,000, without falling into a cost trap. I had a MX-5 NA in which I was potentially interested (2,90€) at our company on stage to have a workshop master look over it. It turned out that the fresh “TÜVV” ” probably had to have been approved via questionable connections, since the car could never have been given serious TÜV and needed some repairs in order to be safe on the road (workshop master spoke of defective coupling rods, porous brake hoses, various seals which would have to be changed urgently, a strongly damp engine block, light rust on the badly repainted sleepers, presumably remains of the catalyst in the rattled exhaust tank This really showed me what all the costs could be if you would buy a NA without any idea and blind. Nevertheless, on Saturday I have 2 viewing appointments and no expert to take away. The one is red with fabric seats (looks so far ok), has a repaired accident damage, but TÜV until 08/2020, the other is british racing green, has a well-preserved beige leather equipment, no TÜV and the clutch is at the wear limit, but a new timing belt and both are at first sight really good for the pictures (the green one is even better than the red one, each about 3,000€ and about 160,000 km on the clock). Wouldn’t like to bother at all now with further details and stories, but wanted to ask if I can roughly determine whether I’m being fooled, or if the purchase of one of the mentioned MX-5 is worthwhile, without already private insolvency anme What do I have to pay special attention to, apart from the typical rust on the thresholdrs and wheel runs (both of which are supposedly free…)? Thank you for taking the time to read my extensive question and in advance already thank you for every answer!!

Hello together I hope that I can be helped here. And this is about my MX5 NB 1998 My problem: Everything went Tip Top up to that day when I started my NB and it rolled forwards despite the kicked clutch… then I realized that the gears did not go in anymore. My first thought engine from engine again and it still did nothing:'( Then after eternal back and forth I found the gears as soon as I turned off the engine without any problem e went in. What could that be?? I’m already thinking about selling him what I really want to avoid… What you might still know: My friend managed to drive the car to me, however, he said it was really tedious.. I am grateful for every advice.

Hello This post since there is definitely other suffering plagued there : My NC EC:2008 had this year 2 water breaks. No 1: Symptom : Carpet wet “front and back” “Schuld” was the stopper that the plastic cover of the wiper was leaking. 85 Eur The 2nd Symptom: Carpet under the seat wet The fault was dirt in the side drain (there are on the 2 sides).Get cleaned with a “pipe cleaner” (wire with brush) from the zoostore – fish department. As the water entrance and the mold was a reason for a sale (if it was not possible to get under control ), because my health is more important to me than a car, I want to enjoy like-minded sufferers enjoying their car to keep Vill Spass G.H.

Hello everybody, I noticed a strong flap in front of the engine compartment. As soon as I press through the clutch, the noise is completely gone. What can it be? Outback bearings? The free workshop meant gear bearings. But what do you mean? Can also make a video. Greetings

Hello dear community, I finally created a MX-5 NA Miata this year but unfortunately a lot has to be done about it and so the search with the spare parts is on it, unfortunately my HSN/TSN is exhausted and I will really not find an oil tank and also with a steering gear for my model. At Mazda I do not want to order, since the oil tank alone costs 800 € and the steering gear is about 600 € maybe the one or other ‘idea where I feed ig could be based on e.g. the FIN or other would be really grateful to all of you to help me out here. I would hate to fail to bring my dream car on the German roads.

Hello everybody, with my MX-5 NA 1.6l the speed is always extremely low at the cold start. It is 150-200 revolutions. Only when it is significantly warmer the speed swings back into the normal range of 850… Although, the speed is then more at 1000-1100… The vehicle then buzzes extremely, but it drives quite normally. Only in a standing position is the whole thing extremely noticeable. When driving you never notice anything – neither during cold nor warm running. The topic with d The cold start is only recently, with the high speed and the buzzing already the whole time. But that is certainly not normal. Do you have any solutions what it could be, or what would be defective? I look forward to your opinions. LG

Hello, with my MX5 NA 1,6l 90ps I have tried so much, but it still doesn’t run properly as it should. I have set the idle speed (despite that it runs at 1200 revolutions, sometimes 850). I have changed the coolant temperature sensor. And I have replaced the crankcase ventilation valve + hoses. Ignition plugs + ignition cable + ignition coil are also new, everything from NGK Nevertheless, he wants again and again (only at the idle level ode r when driving only when the clutch is kicked). Sometimes it runs at 200 revolutions, then I turn it off and on again and it then runs at 1000-1200. the speed also varies slightly. No matter whether it is cold or warm – it is always the same. Unfortunately I don’t know any more and hope for solutions Thank you in advance, LG

Hello together, I wanted to introduce myself as a new addition to this forum. After almost 20 years a good friend of mine wanted to sell his MX-5 NBFL, I sacrificed myself 🙂 A 1.6i with 149tkm from 05-2002, special model Memories and has everything you need. And a little more….see pictures. Hardtop, suitcases & bicycle carriers were also available. Although the hardtop probably little to not at all used, because he got a season mark 04-10. Grundsatz On the inside/edge of the wheelhouses you can drive with your finger without any resistance. It has nothing, incredible. Deck has also come new in 2017. But something is always new. The clutch must have been new, recently with passenger under load a height slipped easily. In the oil is gasoline. Inspection is just new and from HH to the region of Lake Constance It also starts a bit late sometimes. Have the impression that one or more injection nozzles drop after. Let’s see. And the leather from the driver’s seat is through, I let it re-sustain from the saddler. Cool is, I got all the bills, so the full history of the vehicle is received. Best regards!

Hello, I have decided to register here in the forum, maybe one of you can help me with a purchase decision. It is about an Mx5 Na from the year 1991, which is the first woman’s hand, summer and garage vehicle with 140k km. We have searched the typical rust spots all, the car is clean as regards rust. On one side the threshold was made new, this was also easy to see but also there without rust. We had now two points where We don’t know if these are safe. It starts with a damp spot on the valve lid. I have read the photo. I also read more often that you should pay attention to whether the strap disc has 4 or 8 holes and then still if this restlessness is running or eating. The disc now had 8 holes and we don’t know if you can count that as restless. We also attached the video to it once.
