Not being critical, but I would recommend using jack stands. I personally put my ND up on 4 cut to fit 6x6’s under each tire to any undercarriage work. Takes a little longer but It could save you from a really bad day.
My dude those plugs look brand new. Definitely agree with checking them at 20-30k, but get you a feeler gauge and check the gap and those should be good to go for another 30k at least. Manual says 75k, and they assume you're actually going to drive an mx-5 pretty hard. Modern plugs last 100k in grocery getters all the time. Now if you had turbos or a supercharger on there, then yeah, it's going to eat plugs faster, but without forced induction and high compression ratios you should be fine just checking the gap every other oil change and making sure there's no discoloration on the ceramic insulator.
Besides Buying the jack stands I would suggest cleaning the MAF sensor. Takes about a 1/2 hour & 15 minutes of that is letting it dry after spraying it with the cleaner. Nice job on the cabin air filter, asked around & this was the 1st of ever seeing one in a ND / ND2.
Hi, in Europe the spark plug change (by Mazda) is to be done at 100 000kms, modern engines with computer management don't ruin plugs like old engines did. For the filter, I installed stainless steel bug screen over the air intake so that debris and animals can't get in, I didn't install a paper filter as I drive the car mostly open top.

So my only issue at this point is a check engine light(misfire ord one or more pistons) occasionally on a cold start up. Easy to clear and doesn’t happen often but does happy. Running .30 gap on hot plugs.
Hey so according to the service manual the oem spark plugs have a lifespan of like 75k miles. I was really surprised and asked a friend at Mazda about tha. Apparently they can easily last that long. That said, i wont wait that long to change mine obviously. Just feels wrong haha
@@kyleworksoncars exactly my thought. I also got a 2016 and mine felt a bit off in idle a month ago. Changed plugs and runs perfectly smooth again. Great video by the way!
@@kyleworksoncars I know they don't have it, so you say better having it dirty than don't have it at all? That is true, my air vents are alredy a bit dusty after less than 2 years. Maybe I'll consider it, but I live in Italy and I don't know if it exists in europe, maybe I will make it with a sponge filter...
1st off, this car is dirty af I can tell it hasn't taken care of correctly. 2nd DUDE spark plugs on these go to 60k at minimum. Even on other cars, you don't change spark plugs every 10k or 15k bro.. it's 30k on old style copper etc and 60k now

Never seen such interesting videos. Thanks for this Kyle. I'll follow you now

I would maybe contact a tuner and see what’s going on

yeah i know they say new cars can go that long but you feel the loss in power when you dont have new ones for sure
also my car is a 2016 so the plugs may not have hit the milage but they are 6 years old
@@kyleworksoncars exactly my thought. I also got a 2016 and mine felt a bit off in idle a month ago. Changed plugs and runs perfectly smooth again. Great video by the way!
@@Fyba what mileage were you at when you changed plugs?
Probably won’t last 75k with forged induction.
I’m sure they were the OEM plugs, modern plugs can go 100k miles. I usually change about every 30.
It seems difficult to change the cabin air filter every 1 or 2 years in that position :/
They don’t have one from factory so they don’t expect you to chang it lol they just have the mesh to get the blower clean but the filter is worth it
@@kyleworksoncars I know they don't have it, so you say better having it dirty than don't have it at all? That is true, my air vents are alredy a bit dusty after less than 2 years.

I mainly like the kit for the mesh that goes on the out keeping things from getting doen there to start with mine was filled with a nest
A cabin filter in a convertible is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Lol unless your air starts smelling bad I wouldn’t touch that thing. Not worth the hassle. Mine is 2016 with the original cabin filter and it’s fine
@@Willppyro "original" cabin filter, also known as NO cabin filter :D
yet you see how much stuff i pulled out and the mess added will stop thae from hapening
I had similar issues with animals nesting in my old F150. That was disgusting to see n think about that air coming into cabinet.
Yeah wash up supper good after touching that shit
What sound box you use for that charm? And do you have the mp3 file?
You clean your CAF to breathe clean air, I clean my filter for weight reduction.
Is it possible to put a paper air filter like in all other cars in the place where you put the mesh? Would be easier to replace.
I’m now sure I have a Paper one in the inside but this kit is made by flaying Miata
Well made video!
Thank you
mazda should be ashamed having such a pathetic design flaw let alone rust forming out of sight on a car only a few years old.
Is this the same set up on the 2021 models
It has a different engine code, but it’s the same layout
Yeah, fuk all that.
I’ll pay someone to do that !!
