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?

Hello together, after my last NA suffered a crack in the cylinder head due to overheating and I sold it to a mechanic, I decided to buy another MX-5 after finishing my training in almost 2 years. Of course, that didn’t work out. I just couldn’t wait. So I now have a MX-5 NA at home again, which is not driving. Only this time I learned to do this and did not sell my everyday car and am The Mazda is 1990 and first-hand and has run just under 150,000Km. For 10 years he has been logged out and the last year of it he was unfortunately outside. That the soft-tops are not 100% dense I noticed already with my previous NA, however with this now the footroom is damp. Normally even despite a only 99% dense vinyl-daches should not collect the water in the interior, right? My plan is, the Mazd next year for his 30th birthday to be presented to the TÜV and an expert for an H-mark and to be able to move from then on beautiful days. He will hopefully meet the technical requirements until then, but I would also like to have removed things like the damp footroom and hope that someone can tell me where the cause lies. I would be very grateful for any help!

Hi together, I got myself a 2011 NC, but after the purchase have to find out that he has such a few quirks, can you give me there a few tips how I can fix the best? Have little screwdriver experience, but would like to learn if it is possible. Do not have any tools yet. The exact model is a 2011 NC with 2.0 liter motor, 6 gear manual transmission and DVD radio with AUX, but without Bluetooth. The biggest problem is the climate that works though, smell The other problem is that the radio doesn’t have a reception, but speakers and all the buttons work. Would be very grateful for tips and maybe even instructions on how to fix the problems, was probably too hasty and too full of anticipation than I did the short test drive. Is there any other things I should check, or would you rather look for a workshop that might look for it? But it would be nice if there is one that is transparent and explains things instead of trying to get the maximum money out. Many greetings and thanks from a newcomer

Hi, everybody! I just wanted to pump up the spare wheel and, out of curiosity, took off the inner panel to check the car for rust. To my horror, I had to find out that water had been collected in the left trough (driver side, under plastic tub)! [Pictures 1-2] From the underbody: Images 3-4 The insulation under the spare wheel was already damp. Also on the rear panel were splashes [Picture 5]. I suspect, however, that the water in the left Mu The water is slightly oily. Almost odourless, just like the insulation mat. Upstairs everything looks very clean (antenna mechanics, fuel line, gasket of the boot lid still very soft). Downstairs in the area of the headlights looks flat – od it’s original? [picture 7] I poured a glass into the tank lid, flown clean. Should I leave the car in the rain to find out the source? Original photos there. Attached smaller here. I’m curious about your ideas. I didn’t find out about the SuFu PS: Vehicle is an Mx5 NBFL Bj 2001 First week in my possession
