9/21/2023 0 Comments Mazda mx 5 jdmSomething in-between with just enough Km`s on the clock and average condition to keep the costs down would be fine. I dont mind getting minor things fixed/worked on, but didn’t really want a modified/hacked piece of junk either. It is to be used as a project car, so a pristine low mileage example was not a necessity.I quite like the hard-top on an Mx-5, because it tend to make things a bit quieter inside and also aids (although very minor) with structural rigidity.I preferred a first generation which was manufactured towards the end of the life cycle, because this is when manufacturers tend to load up cars with better features and components (to keep the sales going before new product version comes out). From 1993 to early 1997, Mazda dropped the 1.8 liter BP engine in and code named the series as NA8. The very first Mx-5 debuted in 1989 (code named NA6) had a 1.6 liter DOHC motor (code named B6ZE).The second generation (NB) is a bit more heavier, more refined, and is essentially not as ‘analog’ in terms of driving feel when compared to the NA. First of all, it needed to be a 1 st generation car (“NA” series).I had specific requirements on the Mx-5 I wanted. Just continuing with the story on the purchase… The following pics were taken on the day I bought her homeįront view - look at those eyes, happy as F#*k.! I hope to document my journey with the car here, as the little MX-5 evolves over time.! They are great fun to drive within legal speed limits, and cheap to maintain after been thrashed around in a race track.įor various reasons, the MX-5 came up top in my list and picked this car up a couple of weeks ago. I am a big fan of well-balanced light weight cars.Since this is purely for entertainment purposes, the car had to be cheap to buy and maintain.Always had the idea in mind, but my ‘itch’ got worse after selling the Subaru BRZ I had before.! So I`ve been wanting to build a car for track use and to have some fun driving around over the weekend.
