Mx-5, Miata, Roadster, Fiata General The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.Old:>>28816315
>>28861249that's a really cute car :-)
>>28861260They're all cute
>>28861335Not nearly as cute as the other one. That one just looks pissed off.
What do I use to fix this back in place? I don't want it to peel off, that'd be a pain.
>>28861525It's rusty and fucked. A new one is the best option. To get the rail off you need to undo the clip from inside the door. It's a bastard job. Look at this link to see how the clips work.https://www.ilmotorsport.de/en/mx-5-beltline-mouldings-genuine-ilmotorsport-4766/317I'd use some 2 part epoxy glue to temporary repair it, but don't get any on the paint.
My Megasquirt install is getting close guys. Just another thousand lol
>>28861249cute thread, last thread as very cute too im having fun already.
>>28861544>MegasquirtEven the modifications sound gay on this car
>squeeking squealing sound coming from under the car only when coasting while in gear>goes away when in neutral or clutch is pushed inwhat could this be? Please keep in mind: If you tell me I have to fix something inside of the engine or the transmission I will cry.
>>28862157Could you be more specific little wrenchlet
>>28862098is "beer money motorsports" less gay
>>28862157Raise the car with the lift and have the mechanic listen under the car. Could be clutch related issue.
My suspension feels a bit boring and maybe a bit worn out. I mostly just enjoy driving on the street. Any upgrade recs? 1995 NA, would prefer stock height, maybe an inch drop or so. I don't want to clench my cheeks when I see a pothole.
>>28861525You can get replacement moldings on Amazon for about $40 (comes with both sides)
>>28862157My tailshaft uni's sounded much like this when they were dying.
>>28862157sounds like BEARINGSand you're gonna cry butit's in the transmission :(guessing input shaft
>>28862338Switch to NB shocks and top hats. I'd probably pick up a used set first then swap to quality shocks.
>>28862338949 Tecnas with the 6k/4k springs
>>28862773NB tophats + koni sports are a truly good entry level swap.
Is the new Miata even worth getting?
>>28863354Yes, but.Early Miata's are forever cars. As long as you stop it from rusting away, you car keep your 35 year old sports car running indefinitely. As new cars get more complex (electrical) systems, there may be more repair choke points in the future.
>>28863354yeah it's the best affordable fun car out there, and one of the best period
>>28863354For sure. Who knows what kind of hybrid monstrosity will come next. Mazda won my trust by keeping the ND as light as the original car. Its possible that they release a hybrid car that is just as light and fun but it can easily be ruined. ND might be the last pure Miata. Get it while you can, when the production stops the price will only go up.
>>28864150>ND might be the last pure Miata. Get it while you canThis is so true. Mazda is better than other manufactures at the moment, but enshitification is the viral trend.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Upf_B9RLQ
IDK why but copy pasta'd this link from another Miata thread>>28862669>Online ND shop manual:https://www.hexorcism.com/16ND/
>>28861538>>28862340I two parted glued it back down.
>>28865026ywI'll just migrate here too. This thread didn't show up in my search results.
>>28864150what a great pic, all 4 gens in one corner.is there a version where the NB is in frame more?
>>28865411
>have kinda nice NB>see a 30AE ND2 for sale nearby>starting to think maybe it would be a great 3rd car
>>28863354What's the best affordable sports car at the Brussels show this year? You already know.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDPnH-LZ0qM&t=845s
>>28861398>looks pissed off.It always looked like a mesugaki grin to me
>>28866650>30AERacing Orange is the best ND colour
>>28866723To be fair, Mazda has refused to paint the ND in any actual colors for its entire production run so it kinda wins by default
>>28866660Z4 ends this month. No Boxter anymore. No Toyota GT86, you can't get it in Europe anymore. Fuck, Mazda is pretty much the last man standing.Only other one I can think of is the A110. Anything else?
>>28867106A110 is going away in a few months too
>>28867106>Z4>affordablemaybe it's cheaper in europe but in the states the starting MSRP is twice that of the miata. we don't have the A110 but that seems pretty pricey too, at 55k gbp.supposedly the nissan z has become a lot cheaper over the past year. dont know if that's available in europe.
>>28867148Guess the point I was making is that sports car supply appears to be drying up completely. Supra will also end with the Z4. In Oz we still have the BRZ/86 twins priced similar to Mx-5. 400Z and base Mustang are double the price.
>>28866683Bratty ND needs correction
>>28867156Z will likely get axed too, since it's not selling.
>>28861249i bought a 92 stock na6 and i can't wait to drive it stupid fucking salt
>>28866726maybe we'll finally get yellow or midnite purp for the 40AE
>>28862157Does it sound like a little bird chirping? Mine did that noise like you described. Turns out the clutch slave to pivot fork was dry as a bone. I grabbed some grease and literally ran it all around the rod and where it attached to the fork. You can probably feel it without jacking the car. That connection gets dry and the grease keeps it from squeaking.
>>28863354I like mine
I can't make up my mind on what color to wrap my ND in. Was thinking British racing green would look cool, then dark purple, now I'm leaning towards something like the sunburst yellow option for NA miatas.
>>28867749I would probably choose Sunburst Yellow, but I'm biased. With a bright colour you feel safer, because you know other motorists can see you.BRG looks sexy though.
>>28867749purp
>>28867773key word being "feel" which leads to complacency.never underestimate the power of an idiot
I can't stop buying things for my miats
>>28868111show us what you bought
>>28868679Not who you replied to, but I just got a couple more BT cassettes, seem to have lost my old ones. They work well for me with the stock headunit and speakers.
>>28868714Neat, I didn't know this was a thing
>>28868716Surprisingly good sound quality, especially compared to those shitty FM transmitter ones. Only downside is having to recharge the batteries in the cassette. Hence, why a couple are required.
The '99 I just bought popped a P0402 today, looks like I've gotta take out the upper intake manifold and clean the EGR and change some vacuum hoses. That is the thing to do, right?
Why is the confirmation of the next generation Miata being hybrid not talked about more?
>>28868798Because it's not confirmed. Nothing is finalized, they're just working on a mild hybrid at this stage. We talked about this in the last /mg/ . Here's the link to the latest rumors.https://autorai.nl/interview-opvolger-mazda-mx-5/
>>28868798We'll see. There's plenty of potential for hybrids to be driver-oriented.I will never understand why gov'ts have such a hard-on for killing anything simple and fun, but it might be really good. I doubt it though...
>>28868817Just been to Mazda's Corporate News. No talk of the Mx-5, it's all about their updated mid-engined beauty. Of course this is following from the recent update of the Carry, which the Mazda Scrum is based on.
I wish I could bundle up the miat and give it a snuggle.
>>28861249So cute omg
>>28868679I don't have enough space to lay it all down.Dw200 pump450 injectorsMs3pnpVacuum manifoldNew fuel system w/ e85New ignition w/ sequential r8 coilsJust waiting on parts from Poland and UK to get thru customs
I can't find the saddle brown color for NB. I want to get the carbon Miata diamond covers but their browns are all over the place
>>28868798
I was driving back from checking out an NB (left a deposit) and on the way home a car run up my ass for the first time in my life. It was slow speed so everything is fine and the spare tire acted as a bumper for my rav4 while leaving a nice dent on the new BMW hood.Anyway what are the chances that this is some sort of omen and this NB may be cursed?
>>28868835let me guess. You need more?
>>28868989Pics of your Miat always look so cold and dark. This one has a tinge of horror about it. March now, so winter's over. Hopefully you'll thaw out soon.
>mfw perfect Miata weather before the summer heat death
>>28870177The NB isn't cursed, the universe was just punishing you for not taking it home then and there.
Tfw didn't find a Miata in the spec I wanted all winter and now spring is here and I'm miataless
>>28870518it's cold as sin in the Alps
>>28861249https://www.myinstants.com/en/instant/wow-happy-fairy-tail/
>>28870603Don't give up. When those old folks go to start it after the winter and the battery's flat, that'll be your time to shine.
>>28868111smae, I just had my mechanic put a chonky clutch and 8.8lb flywheel in mine and it's fuckin awesome, shoulda done this forever ago>>28870603winter is a bad time to look for convertibles, should be more coming up for grabs in the next month or two. whatcha looking for
>>28870603Are you the true red NC2 anon?
