The center console on the mr2 was surprisingly high. Kind of like an s2000. The miata is smaller, the mr2 larger, both are small cars though. Both make excellent race cars and daily drivers.Puts my black mica speed to shame. I'm partial to Brilliant Black for an NA and Crystal Blue for NB since that's what's in the stable, but if I could wave a magic wand, my NA would be Montego Blue. If I had to pick another NB color, Lava Orange. Montego blue is the best color Mazda has ever made.Here are some simple thoughts. Positive displacement superchargers (most SC kits out there): Good low/mid power bump, but are going to lack high end push. Good for street cars, but you aren't going to see high power numbers. Centrifugal superchargers (Rotrex): Basically makes the car drive like it has a bigger NA motor.2001 (10 pages) Automobile Mazda Miata Quick Tips. 2002 (10 pages) Automobile Mazda 1990 323 Workshop Manual Supplement. 1990 mazda 323 4-wheel drive workshop manual supplement (728 pages) Automobile Mazda 1996 626 Service Manual.

The car is my daily driver but since I'm young, and the car already has no AC or even a passenger seat, I don't care much for daily drivability. magnavah • 9 mo. ago. Top 3 I suggest: performance wheel alginment.They do alright in the snow, but you'd need to change to snow traction tires in Winter or at least rain friendly tires. The tires that make a Miata so fun in summer driving make the Miata basically non-functional in cold or icy conditions. SunSaw 2009 Brilliant Black PRHT • 1 yr. ago.I have seen some that are cheaper on 25k range with the same mileage but others are like 26-27. It probably has some nice options on it if it was 28k. The asking price is actually $25900, then tax pumps it up. Maybe you are looking at the grey one pending for me haha. Yup. 28 with all tax and fees is pretty decent.Miata repair reasonable? I recently took my 2007 into the shop because my clutch wasn't working properly. I would push the petal in but it would feel very soft and spongy, and it wouldn't let me get into first or reverse gear. I was able to get it to the shop and they performed a diagnostic on it. They said I would have to replace the ...Starting from neutral, shift into first, clutch in, slooooooowewwllllyyyy let clutch out and as it bites, add throttle, still sloooowwlllyyy letting clutch out, accelerate until you want to shift. Clutch in, drop throttle, smoothly into 2nd, clutch slooooowwlly out, roll onto throttle. Rinse and repeat.— John Snyder (@jbeltzsnyder) June 10, 2021 So, I ask you, dear readers, which roof would you choose for the current-generation Miata? I've placed this poll on Twitter, but you can also feel free...An automatic Miata will still be "more fun" in a lot of ways than, say, an automatic Camry. But a manual Miata will be 100x more fun still than an automatic Miata. The Miata was designed with the manual transmission in mind and the automatic as an afterthought (an automatic wasn't even offered the first year the model was sold).Compared to a Miata though, it’s a bit more complicated. The Miata is up front and straight forward. The only hard part is transmission removal and the cam angle sensor. The boxster general maintenance is easy enough, but some things are a little more complex. But that’s just the nature of a mid engine car. Car is made and tuned for premium, you should run premium. Car is higher compression and is tuned for premium and already pulls timing pretty aggressively. Running regular it will pull a ton of timing to prevent pinging. You'll notice worse gas milage and the car will be noticeably more sluggish feeling. 74.It's also comically overpriced for the non-journalist, non-YouTuber enthusiast. If you can even get one at all. Same goes for the GR Corolla. Instead of comparing these two against $30k WRXs and Miata's we need to be comparing them against cars in their real-life $50k + price category: Supra.Unlike Twitter or LinkedIn, Reddit seems to have a steeper learning curve for new users, especially for those users who fall outside of the Millennial and Gen-Z cohorts. That’s to say, there’s a subreddit for virtually every topic — or you ...Say you're buying a current-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata. Which top do you get?

Forget $70k+ Corvettes & top trim …r/Miata • Finally getting together. Next is alignment, then more bracing, neumatic air jacks, another set of wheels and tires, electric power steering, bump steer kit, the list goes on. Also tucked the main harness under the itbs. (Reddit is killing my pics)Driving around the Miata I have always have other cars fly pass me most of the cars I notice were the mustangs. The sound of it made me so jealous. So I test drove one at a dealership. And the biggest difference (of course was the power). The mustang just screams my personality. I ended up getting it. Daily drove the mustang to work instead of ...Without doing some stability and safety mods more power starts to gets dangerous. The stock 1.6 makes any where from like 80 to 95 HP to the wheels. It can be hard to get significant power out of those engines without a turbo. As far as keeping up, weight reduction is the fastest/ easiest option. I had a 300+whp Miata.Other than an electric version in 2023, I would expect a new generation in 2026. Since the NB, each generation matures on the 6’s with the final year being on the 5’s. NB was 99-05, NC was 06-15, and ND is 16-present. The NA is a fluke with 89 to 97 and no 98 model. And yes, NE being fully electric would be nice branding.YES. Back in high school I would sometimes drive my parents 1991 Miata. This thing was your stereotypical beater Miata in every way- faded paint, typical rust, ripped top (fixed with tape), ripped drivers seat, etc. The amount of "Is that a Porsche" comments I got was uncanny. Not just from high school kids.RX-8 had the Shinka. Shinsen has blue accents in the door cards, silver console trim, blue seats, blue top, titanium grey color, LSD and comfort package. Actually just found out today mine is also a Shinsen, but the gray was painted over, Tupperware removed, top replaced and the passenger seat is so dingy I honestly didn't even recognize it as ...148 votes, 169 comments. 154K subscribers in the Miata community. r/Miata has joined the protest against Reddit's API changes.

Daily drove the mustang to work instead of ... S2000 every time. It's much more of a sports car, drives better, faster and equally reliable to the Mazda. The S2000 is regarded to be one of the best handling roadsters ever and the MX-5, although fun, is by no means fast (or manly). The S2000 is is not equally reliable to the Miata.An NB manual swap is likely the easiest manual swap of any modern car. Having done 2 transmission swaps on an NB in the drive way, it's totally doable. If you are not familiar with turning wrench's, you will likely feel overwhelmed at a few points. Getting the trans back in without a lift is stressful.100% depends on what you plan on doing with it. I went GT because it's my daily, and it was definitely the best option for me; it's a comfortable ride with all the little QoL upgrades. If you're more into the track scene though, the general consensus is the Club is the best option. skyburnsred • ND Club • 2 yr. ago.Alpine ILX-W650 with KTA-450 amp (fits behind it in the dash).

I worked at Crutchfield for a little over a year and the ILX-W650 and Sony XAV-1000 were the best selling head units. mike9092 • Brilliant Black 99 NB • 2 yr. ago.Always wash with a heavy shampoo (like clean slate), then apply an iron remover, then clay bar. In this case, he/she just needs to apply an iron remover. Those are rust spots from other cars/the road, not from his car. szczawxd • 1 yr. ago. You need to fix your whole paint every year 😂.The same peaky power band, the same excitement, but with better handling, better steering, less weight, and no bite. In the ND2, Mazda has unquestionably built a better two-seat sports car than ...If the 2019 (ND2) is a Grand Touring with the 6MT and GT-S package, I’d say it’s worth the price difference. The differences between ND1 & ND2 are more than just the engine - you should take the whole car into consideration unless you plan on stripping the interior, swapping the suspension, and upgrading mechanicals.Spend $85 on an SCCA membership it can save you over $1,500 on the RF. It qualifies you for Mazda’s S-Plan (employe) pricing. Manual is often called the correct transmission without taking into account how the driver actually drives. If you don’t have windy roads, if your daily drive is bumper to bumper, red light to red light manual is ...With the mirrors set this way and the fact the you sit so far towards the rear of the car, I have zero issues with blind spots.

You'll notice worse gas milage and the car will be noticeably more sluggish feeling. 74.Charge pipe was a bit of GMC truck radiator hose going from the 1.75" turbo outlet to the stock intake tube. The stock flappy air meter had the wiring harness extended and was just hose-clamped onto the front of the turbo with some silicone adaptors. All in I spent about $400 to turbo a 1991 1.6l long-nose crank Miata.Random cylinder misfire? Bought a 2000 Miata, and around 89k on the clock. Both the Oxygen sensors were faulty, after the purchase we drove it back home for which was about a half hour to a 45 minute drive. Afterwards, I replaced the upstream oxygen sensor, test drove it, and it was perfect. After i brought it back, shut the car off, i started ...The nb2 block has higher compression pistons, but the nb2 head has more room inside it so the compression is similar to the nb1. If you take an nb2 bottom end, or even just the pistons, and pair them with the nb1 head, you get a fairly high compression ratio and can make decent power.1.) Stubby antenna - AntennaX on Amazon's a nice alternative to the $50 JDM specials. 2.) Tires: Potenza RE-71 if you want the absolute best, road conditions be damned. Michelin Pilot SS if you care about livability. 3.) Exhaust: Goodwin Racing - pick your flavor based on the audio clips.Nov 18, 2020 · The 2020 BRZ's current 2.0-liter, 205-hp engine is offset by its 2815-pound curb weight up 474 pounds over the Miata's 2341 pounds of fun. But Subaru promises more power without more heft with the ... KeiichiTsuchiyasCat • 2 yr. ago. E brakes are a pain on these cars. First adjust by the Allen key on the caliper. Then adjust the cable at the caliper end. Then adjust the ratcheting mechanism at the handbrake end. If after all this you still have a completely non functioning handbrake, the caliper itself may be seized.Mazda MX-5 Miata. After some research I think this a is a great starter car but I'm not sure if there are better options. Also will the insurance rates be higher (because it is a sports car) or low (small engine, cheap parts) or will those cancel out and be "normal". I am a new driver and have very little experience (that's probably a big ...ConfessorKahlan • 2 yr. ago. I believe the Clearwater ones should be pnp or very simple with included stuff.

If they "work" now in that they make sound, they likely will "work" the same just by plug n play.I think there is a reason they use them at Driving Schools. Also, and this may have changed, the power at the wheels on an RX-8 is not even close to the shaft horsepower. Now, there will be losses in the Miata as well, but you may be able to get more wheel HP on the miata with smaller engine mods. Again, I am recalling articles I read years ago.Though with a nice exhaust, tune and header the 86/brz is pretty good, just not great like the miata. Driving dynamics they're both close to equivalent IMO. The miata is softer and has more roll stock vs stock, but it's fun in it's own way and you can tune out roll if you don't want it. Both very fun cars. The Miata is IMO not really a good daily.Spend $85 on an SCCA membership it can save you over $1,500 on the RF. It qualifies you for Mazda’s S-Plan (employe) pricing.
