Hi, I “dream” about which car I could buy in a few years. A 2-seater roadster has always been my dream. “Unfortunately” I am 1.91m tall and has to put the seat in the lowest position in my Mazda 3 Bj 2007 and still has to bend to see the traffic lights. I always say I need an SUV but I WILL simply no SUV. The MX5 looks quite small, smaller than the 3rd one, you think that would be something for me? Did I also s The NC is supposed to be the biggest of all, the ND even smaller, NB can be completely forgotten. If not, an idea what else could be considered? Besides the Mx5 I only know BMW Z3/4, but they are also used quite expensive.

Hello, as a second car I have a Mazda MX-5 NB 1.6. Year 2001 and KM approx. 80.000. For a few weeks I feel it is always more difficult to drive the car in the second gear and couple it in without the car jerking or hopping a bit. That is, it is very difficult to find a point at the coupling and give gas, where the car rolls in liquid without jerking. My observation is that it is easier with a slight climb. he has Mazda workshop checked and since I have relatively little technical know-how and you run the risk of being dragged over the table, I ask carefully what the reasons might be. Fear that there are quite a lot of sources of error for this, but maybe you have a tip on what cost-effective measures you could start with before you venture into the more expensive things. Thank you in advance and greeting, cause’n’effect

Hello together, I’m thinking about adding an Mx5 as a second car. Budget is 4000, max. 5000 euro. I drive 34 km every day back and forth. 90% highway, but here max. 120-130 provided I find a well preserved in the segment, can I use it, if appropriate maintenance of course, as a daily all-rounder ? Winter festival should be yes. or is a longer-term use with the age (14-16 years) rather not to be expected ? I tend rather to 1.8, verbr However, I think that the 1.6 would be better in terms of technology and also in terms of maintenance.

Hello, I’m just reading all the topics and purchase advice, but would like to make a request in advance. My little one will be 18 next month and I promised her a car. I had bought a 323F BG myself as a student and then driven it for 22 years (a great car). The MX-5 was unfortunately too expensive at that time, he also came out fresh. Well, now it’s too late and with this purchase it would be at least certain that Paps would like to get around the car of the little T ochter will take care 😉 The budget is 5k. I really like the NB best and there should be something for the money. So if someone has something, someone knows, etc: MX-5 NB FL black (or dark), ideally with hardtop, climate, leather would be nice running performance is not so important to me, rather a well-kept condition. Traceable history, made sills and stainless longitudinal beams. Am a friend of firsthand cars with original purchase documents. Many greetings mbmt

Moin… I was about to move my time of ignition to 14 degrees… did any of you have any experience with it?

Hello, I’ll call again with a problem of my MX5 He has now run 126tkm and stood outside for 15 years without being moved! After I changed the petrol pump he ran! Now the problem is that he chokes down at 2200 revolutions… Is like in the limiter only that he does this already at 2200rpm. In the tank I pumped the old fuel up to 1 l on the ground and then refilled 5l fuel. What could that be? Air quantity meters I renewed. s Clutch pedal easy play so that you can release the clutch completely in 3 gears at 2000 rpm with fixed brake. After pumping a few times, the game has become less. Is the rear fork or a bearing possibly fixed? Would fat help? Thank you Mfg.

Hello together, actually I wanted to get a NA and actually I wanted to let the “project” rest, because young people announced themselves, but maybe I was offered a very good car at a good price. Therefore I need your help: It is about an NB from 99 in the Magic Edition. Has run just under 200,000 km, TÜV until 10.2020 and the 110 HP machine. In 2009 Dirk Weistroffer was missed the premium package “Mike Sanders” and since then all two J Many parts have recently been renewed (dental belts including rollers and WaPu, brakes, ribbed belts). He is a second hand and has been in the possession of the current driver for the last 15 years. He seems to be very well maintained from the pictures, only a slightly abhorrent seat belt and slight stone strokes on the front skirt are available. The car should cost 2,800 €. What do you think about it? Thank you!

Hello, I am now freshly baked owner of a 98 Mazda NB with the 1.9 engine. Before the summer the driving height and the rims should be changed. I was already looking for the suspension, but I could not find real experience values for “long time”. In my desired price range I could now make FK, TA Technix, Vmaxx and Ap. I am well aware that the AP will be the best choice, but the TA suspensions are partly also quite pleasant and especially for Ersa In my other car I was looking for a low budget thread and decided to use the DTSline. Unfortunately, none of them seem to be producing for the Mazda. If someone has experience with the threads up to 500€ – if it is possible for more than 3 months. To the depth: Would like to excite everything that is legally feasible and can be registered. Question number 2 would be the rim choice. Is there perhaps somewhere an overview with rims/tire combos at the NB, who like to be driven and registered without any problems? I don’t want to cover the edges when it comes to the car, because the car has been freshly painted… Thank you very much!

Hi, I’m just about to swap the V-belt and the V-belt for the first time (for me, not for the car). I now have both belts off and wanted to pull the V-belt on it. However, I can’t get it over the disc on the alternator. It’s missing a little bit. I ordered it from I.L. Motorsport for the NA of course. Can it somehow be related to the fact that the belt was in the car overnight (below 0°)? EDIT: alternator and the tensioner is of course solved, otherwise I wouldn’t have got the old strap off either.

Moin together, we are looking for a MX5 NBFL and I have already read myself well and know mostly what comes to me. I try to get a sportive, mainly because of the 6th gear for the daily highway, but the market is so thin, I have to take what fits. In the area of Hamburg there are not too many and I still shy away from picking up one from further away and trusting the dealer or driving for free. The sleepers have to be taken into account with every NB, but with the longitudinal support it will be difficult to repair. Do you only look at mobile?
