Mazda Nb8a Mx5


Recommended Posts

The time has come for me to get a more practical car for work - the Rodeo, if the mx5 could hold ladders + drums of cable + fittings + tools id use it for work! But unfortunately my beloved mx5 has to go... I have owned this car for just over a year, was stock standard at the time of purchase. I had intentions of slowly get into the occasional track day, however I never got around to it! I always warm it up in the morning, never push her too hard and is always washed and in a secure garage - never parked outside. Always serviced on time by my mechanic, I change oil every 5,000km myself with $75 motul turbolight oil, redline gear box and diff oils replaced at 90,000kms.

1999 NB

5speed

98,000kms

Stock standard motor/exhaust - no modifications

Aircon

Brand new Soft top from Mazda $2249 < 2 weeks old

Brand new paint < 2 weeks old - lifetime guarantee by one of the most reputable panel beaters in Melbourne

Brand new 6000k HID's

Eonon dvd/tv/ipod/mp3/usb/flash/cd/navigation/bluetooth + more head unit

Brown Davis Roll bar - Cams approved

Bilstein shocks from SE/Auto Exe springs - the car handles amazing with this combo, sits lower then standard, is not bumpy at all.

15x7 ET28 Rondell wheels (Light weight made in germany) - Chemically stripped to bare metal and Powdercoated in Metallic Bronze Pearl about 3000km ago (all valves also replaced), no cracks/repairs/buckles in any wheel. 195/50/15 Potenza G3.

Standard seats (the Sparco will not be available)

The reason for the new roof/paint is due to the hail we had in Melbourne about half way through the year, insurance decided they would pay for the lot so I was over the moon :P I have before and after photos of the repair, only the bonnet and roof were replaced, I parked under a bridge when it started hailing so only the bonnet got damaged, and 2 or 3 hit the roof and left a small smudge... there is no accident history at all with this car, any mechanical inspection is welcome!

Photos just don't do justice, these were taking after a wet/dusty drive through the Great Ocean Road

    • Sure, but the result will put so little power to the ground it won't be able to move. Whatever your reason, it will be cheaper and more practical to sell the manual and buy an automatic
    • Hi! Is it possible to use and swap the RB25DET/RB25Neo manual gerbox on to my RB20DE Neo engine with an automatic transmission?
    • my current daily - BiTurbo Diesel SQ5 8R with a remap and some light cosmetic mods. Which is sitting in front of my old daily that hasn’t been driven in 7 years now, home to numerous redbacks no doubt. MK4 Golf GTI with a boser hood extension, air ride airbag suspension, factory RHD Xenon’s from the Japanese R32 and stubby electric mirrors (also from Japan) sitting on custom made 18x10” Work Meisters for the golf’s bolt pattern and offset. one day I’ll revive it as a project, pull the engine out, put some forged bits in, chuck a big turbo on it and tune it to somewhere around 250kw and call it a barn find to make millions off YouTube views. Till then, it is a good breeding home for redbacks and the boot is good for storing my Christmas tree for 11 months of the year.
    • Thanks for jumping in guys, suggested @Sbluatx post here for help. Was hoping one of the guys with a RWD stages could confirm if the tank was the same as the AWD one
    • I got another MAF and installed it. Idle misfire was still present. Finally got the tank low enough to refuel and did so. Did a short drive to warm the car up and no issues, pretty short drive. Going to attempt soon to take a longer drive to see. I don't think the MAF fixed it if anything, definitely thinking it was fuel related. As soon as I put fresh fuel in the car felt so much better. But, still need a longer test drive to verify. I'll report back once done.  I'm definitely going to be getting monitoring and tuning parts soon as my next upgrade (decided on the link after talking with my tuner), just been real tight with just purchasing the car and sudden onset of issues. I've also ordered a new exhaust stud kit and gasket to fix that obvious problem. Once it's back up to par I'll start with the goodies
