Fantastic car. You have my dream color already. I just got a red 99 Miata in the last month that also sat for about 8 months so this has been helpful. Hope it runs indefinitely for you!

Always love miata content, here for the journey.

Fantastische video, dank je wel! Net zelf in het bezit gekomen van een NBFL uit 2005 (Amerikaans model) met de 1.8 en een zesbak. Ik ben voor 95% exact dezelfde dingen aan het doen die jij aan het doen bent haha. Op naar je volgende video's!

I'm only half way through but i love the way you edit and explain what your process is. New subscriber. Thank you for the hard work.

Excellent content, keep up the good work 💜

more videos pleazzz great jobb!

This video is great! You are severely underrated

Very good video. Very interesting content. Coming back soon 👍

Very nice video thanks😊

As a new owner very informative.

Awesome video! These MX-5s are a heap of fun to drive, I've got a NA mx-5/roadster that I put bucket seats in to fit in (203 cms tall) and still slam my knees into the steering wheel when I drive it haha. Maybe the foamectomy would have been a better idea for legroom, but oh well, I love the thing! Left ya a like, and subbed, keep it up!

Thanks so much! I might go for bucket seats at some point too, I can imagine they look great. I have a video incoming at some point over the next few weeks where I install a steering wheel spacer, which helps leg room at the cost of having to bend your arms a bit more because the steering wheel is 2 inch closer. It works well for me - I'm a bit shorter than you but I'm on the large side width-wise, haha.

Great video! Although you are not an expert, your work is very and methodical! Looling forward to next video! Do you have/use a spare parts manual for the NB mx-5?

Perfect car to fix up and run as a daily! Pretty much everything is accesible, available for decent prices, and with so many on the roads there is a tutorial or video on how to do it. Just a good basic sports car and in your case the perfect color. Been looking at a newer model, an ND, for my second car but the colors are no where near as fun as this.

After checking out your spray painting skills I’ll love to see you repainting the entire car! 🤣

@@thegreygarage thanks for the love mate, if you need a video of the car, let me know

👏👏👏👏

I wish my 2.5 was as clean as yours 😢 is it essential to change the gear box and differential oil?.. i have done the engine oil and filter

I saw that your boost sensor is also not connected to a boost solenoid, is it supposed to be that way?

how much did you get it for w/ how many miles?

Zou je een linkje kunnen delen waar je de airbag bypass sensor vandaan hebt?

hey vraagje waar vind je al de data voor de momentsleutel voor de bouten of moeren op moment te draaien? bedankt alvast en goede video!!

Hey, ik heb een Haynes werkplaatshandleiding (www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/mazda-mx-5-service-repair-manual/9200000027806236/) liggen waar veel specificaties instaan aan het begin van elk hoofdstuk, en miata.net/garage heeft ook veel torque specs online staan, en ook bijvoorbeeld BOFI racing (bofiracing.co.uk/blog/mx5-miata-workshop-manuals/). Vaak wel in ft-lbs/foot pounds in plaats van newton, maar dat is zo omgerekend. Soms wel even zoeken omdat het 1.6-literblok in de NB in de VS niet geleverd is volgens mij (alleen in de NA, de NB kwam volgens mij altijd met 1.8), maar die Haynes is aardig compleet. Hoop dat dit helpt!

Hey there! Where did you get the airbag dummy sensor?

Hey! I bought them here: lbshop.eu/en/seat-mat-emulators/98-seat-occupancy-mat-diagnostic-emulator-for-mazda-3-6-premacy.html This one is specifically for bypassing the passenger occupancy sensor!

Hoi , voor hoeveel euronheb je deze auto gekocht?

You replaced a lifetime filter on the air intake, why was that? Was that some paper element you replaced it with? In all honesty you need to just reverse that bit, there's even a sticker on the air box informing you that it's a lifetime filter.

Yeah I know, you're completely correct! I didn't have the correct cleaner at hand yet, and I ordered some parts, including a new filter, before even owning the car - I was very eager to get it running properly as quick as possible. By now, the filter the car came with (which was very, very dirty and clogged with grot) has been cleaned, reoiled and refitted!

Thanks so much - it's such a fun car to work on (and learn new stuff)!

8:05 Do people in the Netherlands use feet and inches when measuring a person’s height, or is this to make it easier for Americans to understand? If you’re doing it to placate the audience from one country, (the US), then I might suggest you don’t. This American prefers to hear the metric system used 😀 Great work on this Miata and very nicely presented in this video. I’m subscribed and looking forward to more Miata content.
