New Car pretty good little deal.

nice miata man.

1.6 revs faster, screams, and with intake and exhaust easily beats a 1.8. I've never driven a 1.8 (NA) that felt as peppy as a 1.6.

The 1.6 is also turbo ready if you ever wanted to go that route.

Yeah, and a 1.8L with I/E and bumped timing will beat a 1.6L with the same mods.
Sure the 1. is "peppy", but I think the 1.8L drives better.



But to the OP- I can tell you why the parking brake doesn't work correctly. Someone changed out the rear pads and didn't set the caliper back. Jack the rear of the car up, take the wheels off and on the back of the caliper you'll find a 14mm bolt. Now, take that off and insert a #6 hex/allen head (think it's 6..maybe 5) to tighten up the caliper. Tighten it up as much as possible by hand and then turn it back 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn.

Sweet Miata.
That interior looks spotless.

I think he used to own a supercharged or turbo white miata that body style so he would know
