Hello Mx5ler, I am looking for a well-preserved Mx5 na/nb this winter and have already looked at two, three. Unfortunately, the bike is a little worry child. Since I have no plan at all, I ask you when you better leave your fingers off. Do you have pictures of “limited” and possibly also pictures of “goes already, painters regulate that”. I make almost everything dependent on the problem, since I have now seen two extremely well-preserved ones and it failed due to the rust. e, a soon (hopefully nb) mx5ler

Aloha and Moin! I’ve always wanted to drive an uncompromising car. I have petrol in my blood. Since the beginning of this year, a dream has matured in me: “I buy a sporty car and rebuild it until it exactly meets my wishes!” For this project, front-wheelers are not eligible for what the petrol heads among you can certainly understand. I’ve been thinking for a very long time. Names such as 350Z and 330i came to my mind. But there were not many possibilities! Quality and modificability as a basis has its price. I honestly didn’t think about the Miata at all! But by now I am 100% sure that it will be a MX 5 (NB). My medium-term goal is to eliminate the natural weak points of the vehicle. I want to replace all interchangeable parts that are responsible for the typical flaws of an NB with high-quality tuning parts. I have a few questions that you can definitely answer me: – Has anyone had experience with lightweight parts? -What are the weaknesses of the NB very often? -Does anyone have one or more links in which a cylinder head gasket is described how jemad replaces a cylinder head gasket? KURZE PAUSE. TO MORGEN! Due to time pressure I will only continue to write this thread.

I want to buy as many parts as possible to save some money. Have already looked for a few garrets and T04/T05 out on ebay. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a suitable Krummer so far. Did someone have the same problem and have found it? Another turbo that fits the mazda would also be an option. Haupsache you find a suitable Krü In addition.

Hello, I would also like to buy a MX5. I’ve already read the last weeks and tried some of the other ones. I’m currently tending to an NB and I don’t really want to add money to it. I’d be very happy if the experts from this forum could give their feedback on the following ads. I’m from Vienna, but I have no problem in general with driving a few hundred km for a beautiful MX5.

Hello, I am 19 years old and have only been driving for 1 1/2 years. I got a MX-5 1.9L with 140ps and will drive it from next week. Now the bad driving safety goes through my mind all the time and the car scares me a little bit when I read the bad reports that you need good handling here to drive the car safely, changing the low weight of 1.1T, rear drive and the 140 horses. In addition, you have to have a cover with the g has bad chances of survival :/ Of course I can say that I drive slowly, just as the rest of you talk about it. However, the few at my age will always drive so carefully. It’s true that I give too much gas in the 2nd aisle in a curve, the tail breaks out and anything else happens. Had only an accident on the federal road 2 months ago with good 100 things which I was not responsible for and was lucky to have the troz with the collision with the nothing happened to my old Escort Xr3i. Now it scares me a little bit. Do you have any more tips on how to drive safely or retrofit safety-related things?… hmm… Thanks in advance

Hello, I decided to buy a new car. After I was advised not to use a VW fighter, my second choice was the MX-5. The budget is approx. 4,500€. Now I have already looked around a bit and found out that there are some specimens, which are between 3000€-500€ with approx. 60,000 to 160.000KM on the clock. Now my question to you: How many kilometers does a MX-5 run without problems? Of course, I am aware that you can never say that at all, but becauseoc h would be a careful estimate nice. Are 160.000km clearly too much? What about the cover? The car should serve as a everyday car, and thus be moved in wind and weather. Are there problems to be expected? Or do you advise me of an MX-5 as an everyday car?

my miata went out during a bending process and overrun a minihubbel and then jumped only briefly, ca.3 sec. and then goes out again…..after eternal search and try out another control unit, as well as heat sensors (both) and air volume meters, the reliability of all cables was then checked….for good conclusion now remained a special error…. the injection nozzles get after approx.3 sec. no injection impulses from the control unit….unfortunately white ic h not why…..in the cockpit is indicated by flashing the error 10 and that’s actually the air quantity meter, but that’s okay……what can that be……who can help….

Hello together, I try to describe the problem: during the ride and while switching up I stepped on the clutch and suddenly the clutch pedal feels like buttery soft without resistance, however I noticed that I could not switch gears. So quickly roll out and drive to the side, stopped…. Was towed home… immediately looked what could be: -Hydraulic tank for the clutch was on Max. (so all right) – I know from forum read ” Kupp The old cylinder transducer was very oily, despite being fine for me. Well, start the engine… Kick the clutch pedal… 1 GAng goes in (hurraaa). But hold still on clutch pedal …2-3 sec…Motor chokes… hmmm. – Engine sounds good – Don’t listen to any noises – Put gears on idle again (only when the engine is off, let all gears switch!)… d hold, start MOtor, runs….so 1 gear insert, clutch pedal still hold down…no 2 seconds, the engine chokes again…..out…. So I can’t quite understand this symptom. I suspect that somewhere the sogennate “coupling rear bearing” or something has to do with pressure back plate has to do with it… So far the gears have switched without problems. Gearbox has been completely changed in March. Before I now break up whole car or the Kup I would like to hear your advice, your own opinion, what this can be. Thank you in advance Greeting Kingrodeus

Hello all, In my Miata built in 1994, 1.6 l , 115 hp the engine has to be replaced due to an engine damage. Can you now install a 1.8 l engine of a Miata with 131 hp instead of the 115 hp engine. I already know that the brakes and the exhaust must also be replaced. But what about the wire harness. Does this have to be changed too? If the conversion is complete, a single acceptance would then be carried out at the TÜV. for the answers.

A friendly hello to everyone and all the best for the new year. I have been reading here for quite a while and have already experienced a lot. It’s about the following. My bengel bought a NB in the spring. He needed a replacement car at short notice and it offered itself from the acquaintance circle suddenly. I then tested before and could not find anything negative. So he bought it and moved it until late autumn. Now he should be sold again. The test drive has mic h infected and I actually want to take it over. But I’m still unsure in a few places so that I don’t put a “laus” in the fur. It’s an NB from 1998. A 1600 with 110 hp and optically and then from driving quite ok. Now I know from the forum here, his biggest enemy is the rust. I still have to look at that. – What does it look like with the engine? The car has now almost 200Tkm down. As far as I have read here are the uncritical and cross-country skiers, if they are to some extent infected and I want to take it over. -Does the engine have a chain or a timing belt? What is the change interval? -What engine oil has to be in there and with what good experiences? – Do you get wear parts in the net or do you have to buy everything from Mazda? – Do you have a hint / hint on what I should still look at? Greetings rudi
