  • Turbo_Eckis project Miata / MX-5 NB 1.9i conversion, tuning

    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.

  • Where are the mx5 Turbo conversion dumps?

    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.

  • MX5 Purchase advice

    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.

  • Mazda MX-5 NB 1.9

    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

  • Mazda MX-5: What do I have to pay attention to when buying?

    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?

  • have a problem with my na miata 1,6 115 ps

    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….

  • My ex, you Thunderird

    In my own case, my ex had called today and asked for help. Vehicle is a 2006 Thunderbird V8 3.9L – 4V. Automatic gearbox 5R55N. No problem what’s wrong with ? Car goes off, ah yes. I, give you tomorrow the OBD scanner with instructions. Short analysis by phone. Engine starts in P and N, speed by 750 rpm should be ok after deregulating cold start. Vehicle is moveable in N, so brakes go off, ABS does not complain. Parking lock goes out there goes out in N. As soon as R or D is inserted, the machine is strangled. Oil level gears on site would still be to be tested. But even if too little should not have any propulsion but not choke off the engine. Do you have ideas for possible causes. Think of this as wrongly regulated gear pressure. But I’m not fit at the 5R55N. Thanks Ralla

  • my experiences in selling US vintage cars

    I’m not a dealer, but every one or two years I sell a car from my stock. I don’t want to keep my experience from you. I think it’s a market with very thin supply and very thin demand. With the last two cars it took many weeks for anyone to sign up at all, but with the second car it’s oddly three within a week. So you have to have a long breath, but under pressure is selling these cars. price cuts do nothing. I think that a potential interested person thinks at the most: if the car is so cheap, he will already have some Macke.Conclusion: who has a well-kept car in good condition should not offer it under value and calculate it two or three months until it is sold. Even if no one calls for weeks – at some point the right car comes – and if it lasts three months.

  • Ford Mustang gt 2011 malfunctions 2 cylinders and 8 cylinders

    Good evening, I have the following problem with my 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0. If I’m on the move faster, speak with more speed the engine control lamp lights up and it doesn’t run properly anymore, so not on all pots and has no more power. And if it no longer flashes or extinguishes the control light then it has power again. Now I have read it out and it spits out 3 error codes. That is PO300, P0302, P0308. And now I’m finished with my Latin, which could be the problem.

  • What do you think of the Le Baron?

    Hi. I’m driving a Golf 3. Would like to sell this because I don’t want to buy it anymore! I wanted to get a convertible now. Somehow I came across a Chrysler Le Baron. Here’s a few dates: EUR 3.000 First registration 07/1982 Mileage 131000 kW/PS 63/86 Outer colour White Interior colour Brown Gearbox Automatic Cylinder 4 Engine displacement 2197 cm3 Doors 2 Seats 4 Vehicle type Oldtimer Empty weight 1230 kg HU-Test 07/2008 I like the design of the car that it is very All is still original. Only the roof looks never so beautiful (but no holes or so…only age-relatedly asubebeblecht and so). The owner has always driven the car with about 9 liters of hard drive, which I would think would be human! The car has well already 130,000km….is that too much for an Ami? Ode holds the still for a while. According to the seller the car is nciht an and never had to be brought bigger into the workshop. What costs such a box of taxes and insurance ? Would there be car running over my father !. what do you think of the offer ? Oh yes, still what… what do you mean … does the dare sell well after a few years ? Also he , no idea , already has his 180.000 km on it ??
