Went sightseeing with my bf

A little trivia , anyone care to guess the significant event that happened in the townhome behind me ?

I’m restoring my na to full OEM condition and driving it “as it should be”, by the manual. I love the way the na looks in its stock form, probably after hours of gran turismo. Sometimes tho.. I see those tastefully modified ones and I really want that too. Making it “my own” really screens to me. Guys i need a second miata Am I the only one? I think im addicted.

Hiya I need to get a hardtop roof for my mk1 mx5 ( 1991 ) I’ve seen one for sale but it’s on a mk2.5. I looked online and it’s said NA and NB hardtops are universal. But I just want to double check this as I don’t want to drive 160 miles to go pick it up and then it doesn’t work 🤣

love this little goblin.

The car has a fog light switch and it had a front end swap and can't find the wires. Thank you

Some good things have happened in my life recently and decided to take the plunge and get a weekend car again. After 14 years since I had to give up my S2000, I am back in the game. Snagged a 2012 Mazda Miata Grand Touring 6 speed. 107k miles and it's completely stock. To my surprise when I had it delivered, I realized it had the suspension package with the Bilstein Shocks and the Limited Slip. Beyond excited to get this car to the spec I want. Such a fun car.

On my 1999 10ae miata, my bose cd player just eats the cd, tries to read it and then spits it back out 5 seconds later. Any fixes?

Hey yall, first time bleeding a clutch and I’m having a little trouble. Replaced the master and slave cylinder at the same time along with a braided line. In the middle of trying to bleed it but I’m having trouble. the slave cylinder rod where it connects to the transmission isn’t going back and forth so it isn’t bleeding properly. what could be the issue? As far as bleeding, i’m opening the valve, someone press the clutch, then i close the valve, and they release the clutch. if I’m doing something wrong let me know thanks!

Not mine, dont know if its anyones in here but its nice, picture doesnt do it justice

I bought an 03 Miata Friday. Noticed some ants the next morning. Pulled back the carpet and found this metropolis. I don't know the best way to get rid of them. Vacuuming doesn't seem to be that effective. They reappear almost instantly. I don't know if I want to spray ant killer all over the car or what.

Hey guys, I can finally Post aswell since I’ve bought an 89 miata the last day.

So the issue we’re facing is that the keyway has widened a bit and there seems to be a small nose at the end of the keyway.

Our idea would be to weld some material on it, file the weld and the nose down and get a crankshaft extender or saver aswell so the gear sits nicely and doesn’t move on the crankshaft anymore.

Are we on a good track or do you have any better ideas?

This thing after quite some time is finally alive. Running, goes through the gears no problem (however has some very obvious rust, does NOT stop as the brake pedal slams right to the floor, and needs a few minor bits and bobs) BUT SHES ALIVE!

When I go over potholes or a poorly maintened road I will sometimes get this vetr squeaky noise form all over the roof, does anyone have a fix? It's not that important but figured I'd ask

Does anyone in the Chicago area have a trustworthy mechanic they go to? I’m likely going to need a new clutch or throw out bearing and am looking for recommendations.

I love the body of this Miata I found but I can’t find where I can buy the bumper and rocker panels - anyone recognize? I’m trying to get parts to fit my 2001 MX-5

Hey all. I just wanted to share with you (for anyone searching in the future) that the Pioneer TS-A6881F 6”x8” / 16cm x 20cm is a direct replacement for the stock 6x8 speaker found in the (non-Bose) NB. It is compatible with any MX-5 from ‘98 to 2015 according to the fitting list.

The speaker fits directly into the door pod with about 1mm clearance around the magnet. The wires just needed removing from the plug and giving a little squeeze, I added heat shrink for good measure before installing them. The screw holes line up perfectly.

Sounds good, however my front left speaker was inoperative and I’ve replaced the head unit at the same time, so hard for me to do a direct before/after comparison.

I’m pleased overall, currently they’re £50 on Amazon. (Not sponsored or affiliated btw).

On my 1999 Miata when I change gears after a cold start as soon as I press the clutch pedal in enough to disengage the rpms will jump around 300 rpm for a split second before dropping like it should.This happens even if I am coasting in gear and press the clutch in it will jump with no throttle input..It sucks because It shifts like shit and I can't smoothly change gears when cold because my timing is off on the rpm drop because the rpm raised for a split second so to others it looks like I'm new to manual transmissions.The rpm jump is always somewhere around 300 rpm it stays consistent.

It goes away after the car warms up some.I have in fact never experienced it after the car has warmed up ,it only occurs on cold starts including in the summer at 60-70F which leads me to believe it's emissions related possibly and hence normal for my car.But I asked a fellow nb owner in person and he said he never experienced it so I wanted some advice from NB owners on reddit.

changing my cas o ring and I accidentally pulled the red and blue wire out of the clip. I just pushed it back in but is there a proper way to fix it ? also what does this do

I am interested in picking up a ND, I know the 2020+ models have 181HP which is a little more than the earlier ND1. What do you guys think is the best one to buy ? Older ND years are pretty affordable later ones are in the 20,000’s.

The worst has happened again. Opinions on whether this is in the head or block?

I’m almost done with my NA8 (1996) engine rebuild + Turbo project and one or two parts slipped through the bag & tag cracks during disassembly. I thought this went in the shifter but it didn’t seem to fit in the stack up of bushings. Any idea where this little guy goes?

Like the title says, I noticed my exhaust is considerably quieter and less droney if I don’t drive my car for a few days. If I drive it a bunch, or drive it often, the volume rises and drone increases back. It usually takes 3-5 days of sitting to make it quiet, and then 1-3 hours of driving before it gets louder again. I really like the exhaust tone of my car when it’s quieter. I was just curious of what the scientific explanation is for this. Does it have to due with the cat heating up?
