|
| Q |
What does the
letters NA, NB and NC refer to ? |
| A |
These are the
letters used in the chassis number of all MX-5's, a MK1 will
have a chassis number starting with the letters JMZNA, a MK2 /
2.5 has JMZNB and the MK3 has JMZNC..... |
| Q |
Why are MX-5's
called different names for example Eunos, Miata
and Roadster ? |
| A |
Basically
they are the same car, Mazda decided to call the MX-5 by a
different name in various parts of the world. A Miata
will be from America, a Eunos will be from Japan although
the Eunos name was dropped in favour of Roadster
in latter years, Europe will generally have the the name MX-5. |

a 'clunk' from the rear when I first drive my MX-5 from cold ? |

It is an ABS safety check carried out

correctly. |

Q |
Are there any parts on the older cars (MK1 and MK2) that will
fit my new MK3 ? |
|
A |
The only part that will fit
correctly is the side indicator, all other parts have been
completely redisigned. |
