    When the Miata 1st came out I had a client drive one from the dealer straight to my shop with a trunk full of upgrade pieces. Adjustable shocks, swapped out the original wheels/tires. stainless steel brake flex hoses,polyurethane suspension bushings and roll bar. He then took it to Seattle to have a super charger installed. It was indeed a fun car. Owner was a college Prof who daily drove the car and raced on Fridays @ Kent Raceway's road course.

    @scotty Kilmer - i had a 1999 10th Anniversary MX5 (Miata in the USA) from 2003 till 2012 (i bought it when it was 4 years old) i bought it with 34,000 miles on the clock and when i sold it there was 112,000 miles on it.
    STILL with the original clutch when i sold that had no problems and only needed adjusted around 100,000 miles (mechanic said the clutch had at least 40,00 miles still on it).
    Main problems i had over and above wear and tear (brake pads & discs, suspension bushes, exhaust at 70,000 moles) was an ignition coil gave up, a window mechanism failed, a few minor electrical problems but by far the worst was rust. In Scotland our climate is temperate and it rains a lot, 3rd highest mean rainfall in the world so the sills had to be welded. Had it not been for the rust i truly believe i would have had that car till it hit 150,000 miles.
    FANTASTIC to drive, pretty much every manual car i've had (in Merc's and Audi's) their gearbox feels like stirring a big pot of porridge compared to that Mazda gearbox. I've heard it likened to a springfield rifle breach but either way it was a great car to drive. Now i have a big enough garage i'm on the lookout for a MK2 2005-2007 in good condition to have as a Sunday car.

For a small car, it was big and heavy with little power. Good ride though. On the test drive I tried to roll the passenger window down, and it made a weird noise. It rolled back up outside of the car, sticking out like a wing. The salesman is like I hope that won't turn you against the car. Heh. Bought a new '91 Ford Escort which was a joint venture with Mazda at the time (you can't tell the interior of a '91 323 apart from an Escort.) After about 320,000 miles in 10 years, the Escort's automatic transmission was getting soft.

    Great video - as we expect from Scotty. The Honda wheels may fit but those rims probably have the 56.1 Honda hub diameter and the Mazda has a 54mm hub. The bolts take the strain of road shocks if that's the case , instead of the hub. It can also mean the wheels can be slightly out of balance.

    I'll say again, had a 1980 Mazda RX7, manual. Was the most fun car to drive! Indeed the gears are easy to learn and close together. Loved to drive windy roads in it, so low to the ground it could hug and take curves like no other car I've driven. Never failed to start. Drove her from Los Angeles to Sacramento, at some point I dropped the windows and ran the heater to cool her down; I believe out of paranoia rather than real need.
    I imagine the Mazda Miata is the same car with a different body style. I know the cars of today have more features, but in a lot of ways, the older cars are just more fun, more simple, straight forward. No computers aiding in the experience of the cars handling.

    Scotty is so right... that valve rattling hits many of those Mazda engines between 80k and 100k miles and stays with them for years with no issues besides the annoyance of the sound. Mine went 6 or 7 years with that issue until another, unrelated problem caused me to fail emissions forced me to move on from my B2200 pickup.

    The valve tapping, to clean them up, just before doing an oil change, put about 3 ounces of fresh transmission fluid and drive it around for about 5 minutes, then change the oil. It will come out as a sludge tar oil, those lifters will be purring.
    Can work on them with my eyes closed, do change that timing belt, tensioner and water pump, by its condition it probably needs it. At 127K plus miles, it is running on expired time.
