I had a dream last year and bought a MX5 NB. I would like to put a lot of money and work into the car. I would like to buy a chassis for the car next, because it is still way too high for me. What would be the minimum height here in Germany or Schleswig-Holstein. It should be as low as possible, however, so that the TÜV takes it off. I added another picture. That would be the height I would like to have for the car.

Hi, everybody! I have a problem: My Roadster has a trigger/buckler/stutter when speeding up. They go up to about 3,000 – 3,500 rpm, and then it feels like it’s switching to another mode and then it’s back to normal. If it’s cold, then the problem is smaller – as soon as it’s at operating temperature, it gets worse. The whole problem started after I replaced the valve cover seal. And now the kicker: It’s not the ignition system! D he candles and cables are new (candle exchange has brought a short-term improvement – until it was again at temperature), and the coils are also fine. I didn’t have any clues for wrong air either. So I gave up and brought it to the workshop. There they found nothing – just one suspicion: the air mass meter. Do you think that’s realistic?

Hello, I’m looking for a used Mazda MX5. It should have a mileage of up to 150,000 km and not cost more than 4000 €. The dark colors are rather colorless but no need. I come from the Stuttgart area and therefore prefer to search in the “closer” environment (up to 160 km) If you have something suitable simply report.

Tach, after a long break I report with a problem mentioned here several times with different MX5, which I have not found any solution for me in other forums. I have now made a change of timing belt and the above mentioned “sleep noises” are now also present with me. Years ago I had been through this and after that was nothing… all nice. Here again all steps to the current exchange / problem: – timing belt including rolls renewed by IL (Spannu ng only controlled by spring, or according to manual specifications again and for me i.o.) – new clamping spring original Mazda – water pump IL newly mounted – Simmerring crankshaft + camshafts renewed After assembly everything purrs as it should be until the engine is warm (cooling water and oil).. Then the “slip noise” begins.. Next step, straps Lima, servo and wapu off, Arregate do not run along.. Noise still unchanged. Thus only the tooth strap remains as a fault for me. . Next step, new clamping and deflection rollers installed by SKF and all attachments / cladding parts controlled on grinding tracks, the belts are tightened slightly differently.. NO change, When the engine is cold, everything is fine, when it is warm the noise starts again. It gets louder with increasing speed and I would say so from 2500-3000 Umdr. away or just goes down with the side noises.. Since this problem has already been discussed several times, is determined after all a I hope to say hello, Torsten.

Dear MX5 – Sympathizers, I spontaneously had a test drive last week with a second-hand 2018 MX-5 Skyactiv-G Sport (160ps), although I was at Mazda because of the new Mazda 3. Well what should I say, I was baff…my girlfriend also, she got a little bit of a gag in the little ones. Amazingly, she found him very pleasant to drive and believes me that is not easy. She normally drives nothing longer, wider and lower than a Nissan Mikra…(She is in the last few days.) 4 years did not drive 1x my BMW 320d (F30) because it has “fear” of it…well…) Now some facts: My questions: Most of all I head over the parking on the road. How does the permanent sun exposure affect, how is it with Vogelkot if I do not drive for 2-3 days. What about snow or rain? Does it make sense to buy a vehicle like this in our situation? The financing will be no problem as it will be max. 5% of our net salary and also a ETW we can call our own. Children only in 2-3 years! Please no further questions about this. Your Bluedo

Hello since I have long been looking for a sporty car with low maintenance costs I have come across the MX 5. Whether maintenance costs in themselves (insurance, usage, tax) or repairability, everything seems to be given. Driving fun I think also comes up with the smaller engine. Now to my “headache”. Unfortunately the MX 5 seems to have enormous rust problems. When I hear that most fenders/swings are through and it sounds more like lotto to you without rust. I think it is realistic to calculate 1000€ for welding work with its own preparation. To this purchase price 2500-300€. What do you think? isn’t it so dramatic? Would also be interesting as the spare parts supply is, so price-wise. MFG
