  • New presentation NBFL

    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!

  • MX5 Kaufberatung – Valve cover and pulley

    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.

  • subsequent installation USB or Cinch input on radio

    Hello together, I drive a Mazda 6, EZ 1/2004. Integrated on the radio console is a 6-fold CD changer with Bose power amplifier. Furthermore, the cassette module is not installed or the switch is not occupied. Now I have recently added an iPod and would like to play it in the car. Lack of input at the moment via FM transmitter, which is not necessarily tingling, it is constantly rushing … I ask myself now the question if it is not possible somehow afterwards a can someone tell me if this is basically feasible without having the complete radio replaced ? I asked me to load a car hifi here nearby and they only told me about a complete conversion with modulator etc … The costs were astronomical … Furthermore I have read here somewhere something of an AUX connection, has the every Mazda radio and if yes how do I get a Where is it to be found? Thanks already. Michael

  • Mazda 6: Slipping at Acceleration

    Hello, My Mazda 2.0 (143 hp), Diesel, EZ 03/06, has from time to time when accelerating short engine-slips (light rolling). In the previous 7 months this occurred perhaps 3 times, also at the beginning at approx. 2,000 km mileage. Today however only 3 x. All this according to my memory always after a longer motorway ride (today 150 km), in the 5th gear, slightly undertouring (90 km/h) during acceleration. Directly afterwards everything ran calmly, even during normal to consciously violent acceleration in the following Traffic jam (1st-4th gear). I asked myself after the previous report, if this is on the DPF, because it was absolutely sporadic (so far). However, I have not had a problem with the DPF at 15,000 km (no lamp, oil level only low above Full, so far no oil change). Does anyone have similar experiences? Or a possible explanation? Thank you and greeting

  • Mazda 6 – prefer 2.0 or 2.3 gasoline – possibly LPG ?

    Hello. I’m thinking about adding a Mazda 6. From the engine possibly the 2,0 petrol or also the 2,3 L petrol to convert it to LPG. Please ask for information about the engines (driving performance, childhood diseases, consumption etc.) and possibly experience with conversions to LPG. Thank you already in advance.

  • 95 GEA 2.0 or 99 GF/GW 2.0 ?

    Good day people, need a jerk and a few pros/contras to decide. Have no big demands on the car, my first car was a Cuore L201 following problem…2 offers Car No. 1 Mazda 626 GEA 2.0 115PS Built June 1995 124’000km 2nd hand, private owner 1.5 years /Au/hu Should have passed the last Tüv without defects. Euro norm: not yet known Price: almost 2000€ (VHB) Car No. 2 Mazda 626 GF/GW 2.0 115PS Built November 1999 99’000km From dealer (on and on sale) 1.5 years /Au/hu Euro2 Price: 3800€ /edit: Both with cruise control and Kilma. Is one of the parts / fully galvanized? Where are the critical points? Which one has more of these, smallnesses as often by burning pears etc. is not so important. Rather should things like ABS sensors / airbag. Just things that go very much into the money. What about the GEA, I have read something from USA model? Are the spare parts for GEA more expensive or more difficult to get? Does one of you drive the GEA and kan n write something positive or negative? Which would you buy from the two, why? MfG axxe07

  • Purchase decision help and a few more questions

    Hello dear forum, I’ve been driving around here for a few days and trying to get an answer to some questions, unfortunately was not THE right answer ready so I hoped to satisfy my curiosity with my own topic. First of all briefly to me and my car experiences/style/feelings. I have been driving a Peugeot 208 for almost 2 years, working a lot of kilometers with a Seat Leon (Diesel Business) behind me and the Outlander from my dad a few times under me bt. I myself drive very well sprite-saving/cautious. It is not important to me to drive around with 200, 130-150 is enough for me completely, conditionally for overtaking it may also attract. Comfortable is more important to me than sporty (except for the overtaking acceleration ) and it should be sprite-saving. Driving technically I return at the moment 20km daily drive (all max 50kmh area) I rarely have highways and also rarely ever motorway (holidays ect.) In a few years I will be but my work path is up to 80km a day. Nja and what should I say… the new three-piece Mazda has done me xD Externally my favorite car, inside I like it very much and I consider a lot to laugh at me. Also the bulging technical gimmicks meet me in the heart and nevertheless it seems classic noble and not like a UFO exactly my world. My favored config. would be steepback – petroler – matrix grey – design package incl. 18 grey rims and the iActivsense – to r I’m talking about my questions: 1. G122 or rather the X180… I hate it, I feel like I need eig. Net as much power but is he now more fuel-saving than his smaller brother or does he completely – how do you see it? 2. Short to the leather seats – I prefer seat-technical fabric, do not need profile storage also the elect. Seat adjustment is of no concern to me – would there still be arguments that would speak for leather (except cleaning – with me dominantly. t Sterility in the car!) 3. Bose sound system… so I like to listen to music/radio/audiobooks during the ride, but I’m not “audiophil” – (except it’s about home cinema etc.) – but of course it’s important to me that the sound is not a grütze, Rock/Metal/Jazz/Orcestre and Spoken are so my fav. 4. I want to get the car as an automatic. Here you can fundamentally recommend the automatic from Mazda or. General. The longevity of the drive/technology ect. 5. Is it possible the aut o (whether num G122 or X180) to trade down despite the model freshness? Are 20% or even more (as cash payer!) possible here in DE, I have unfortunately nothing to give away. Also day registration or demonstration weighers am I net averse if price-wise in my favor – or would it be worth waiting here for the first time? 6. I would possibly have to transport 1 (possibly 2) wheels, can one install a roof construction afterwards or trailer coupling or must this be ordered in advance? (I) but more a minor question) 7. The additional guarantee – I consider the guarantee to be additional. 5 years to extend but read with many ads only what of the 2 or 3 year warranty exactly how does this guarantee thing work out? Can it be booked at some point in the mood?! Hope my post does not repeat any existing ones and you have to answer the same questions for the Xmal – I hope nevertheless on helpful posts. Thanks
