Dumb Question....
I have a 2000 Mazda Miata. I see references to MK I, MK II and MX-5.
Can someone tell me what the differences are? And if they would know what I have (i.e. can you tell by the year or is there other differences). I know its a dumb question, but I thought I'd take a chance and ask.... Thanks |

I've never seen references to MK I and MK II, but I'm guessing they rever to the two body styles pre-1998 and post-1998. I find those are more often called M1 and M2 (which I guess are obvious) or NA and NB (which are the two model ID digits from the VIN). -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

In Japan, it's called the Eunos Roadster. Many used Japanese cars find their way to Australia, the UK, and other places where they need left hand drive. The original body style, with pop-up headlights, is sometimes known as the M1. The official Mazda model designation is NA. The newer style, like yours, is the NB model, sometimes known as the M2. The terms Mk. I and Mk. II never caught on, and don't have any standardized meaning. -- Lanny Chambers, St. Louis, USA '94C the alignment page: http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |

You are, of course, correct. I should've said, "...where they drive on the wrong side of the road." :-) -- Lanny Chambers, St. Louis, USA '94C the alignment page: http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |
