5 Things You Didn't Know About the Mazda Miata

[@AlexPerrucci]

So I’m learning the no interior trunk release is actually 89-91. Cheers to my fellow early model owners!

[@oskykun2198]

Well i've got a 96 And it doesn't have one

[@NoName-zz9ls]

My 1990 does have the trunk release

[@the0844]

EU Spec 97 1.6L 90hp base model here, no interior trunk release

[@rhy5001]

Hi, I need help. My dad is a car lover and works in the car industry. I really want to get a Miata but he shot that idea down very quickly because it isn't that safe. How can I convince him to let me get one???

[@DutchGamingTSM]

My 1990 has one too now, I recently installed it :)

[@peterbailey4126]

Another hack: If you've locked your keys in your trunk, and NEED to get in. Remove your back license plate and you'll see an indent from the factory. Like a little dimple. However you can, make a hole in the center of the indent. Then stick a screwdriver inside and up a few inches towards a cable sitting horizontally inside. If you use the screwdriver to pull that cable downwards it will trigger the trunk release👍

[@pianomaster455_official]

wow

[@anthonygrimaldi9483]

Yup. Locked my keys in my trunk a few weeks after buying the car. Since then I've routed a pull cord up front for the trunk.

[@xx_nazuro_xx7768]

well now i know how to get a miata for free, thx ^^

[@AlexPerrucci]

Hahaha, was gonna say, that HAS to be a Europe thing.

[@kostasv3114]

My '97 didn't have one either, but it's easy to retrofit.

[@Sertao2013]

At 2;39 where your talking about the trunk lock . If you do have the inside trunk lid release you can lock it so no one can reach in and open the trunk with the trunk lid release . They call it trunk lid release lock-out . What you do is close the trunk ,insert the key in the trunk ,and turn it counterclockwise,then return the key to the center position and remove it . Once you want the inside lid release to open the trunk again you insert the key in the trunk and turn it clockwise . Hows that for 1 thing you didn't know about the mazda miata .

[@timstewarttim]

Here's another tip. If you're doors stick out proud of the quarter panels when closed, there are three ways to fix. 1. The first is to loosen the latch striker (the metal loop), adjust it inwards, and re-tighten. 2. If the door still sticks out, try reversing the striker. I found that mine were a little worn, and reversing them worked perfectly. 3. If that isn't enough, you can loosen the latch mechanism in the door, slide a shim between it and the inner surface of the door, and re-tighten it. This moves the latch towards the outside of the door and moves the door inwards.

[@AlexPerrucci]

Good tip! Might have to mess with my passenger side door, it sticks out a little bit.

[@vilious]

[@wiltzenmedia6175]

I was gonna say. I got a 91 and it also doesn’t have one inside

[@ScottJ175]

The proper way to adjust the headlight covers is to remove the plastic shroud around the popup assembly, loosen the 4 screws holding the lid on, adjust and tighten. Much better than ham-fistedly bending.

[@timstewarttim]

Maybe nobody leans on yours and bends them, because the only way to fix that is to unbend. For mine it was not a simple lift. I had to use two hands to fix the curvature.

[@drmoss_ca]

Isn't the proper way to disconnect the battery (so the motor doesn't fight you) and twist knob behind and medial to the headlight, then reconnect battery?

[@osalcedoucmsae]

Thought you were going to pull a cup holder out of the engine bay at 2:51 lol

in Europe as well, but the 1.6 became a de-tuned 90 hp version after 1.8 was offered

@@vajklimbacher82 I heard from an owner that the de-tune was only on paper for regulatory reasons and the engine is actually the exact same. And I like to think he knows his Miatas. His 50, that is.

[@egsrhatchnick]

May not be a secret but on the NA chassis you can remove a layer of padding in the seat back to gain a little leg room. Very helpful for us tall drivers. Not sure if the later models are designed that way.

[@McGregor007]

Fun fact. I’ve owned a 1990 Miata for years now and accidentally locked my keys in the truck once. There’s actually a bevel underneath the license plate where you can drill a small hole and access a metal rod with some pliers which will pop open the trunk. I only recommend doing so in an emergency of course, but good to know in case someone also locks their keys in the trunk 😆

[@drmoss_ca]

I took the valet key (plain metal with no plastic top) to a hardware shop and had it altered so that it is a full function key. Being thin and flat, I can keep it in my wallet just in case I lock the keys in the car.

[@Ben-Rogue]

A tip for soft top owners who happen to lock their keys in the car (me XD). Depending on the soft top rear-window design and weather you have a lock on the rear window zip, you can reach in the flap at the bottom right of the rear window, slip a finger in the gap at the end of the zip and you'll be able to unzip the window and climb in. . . I would also suggest that if you're concerned about someone breaking into your car with this trick, attack a length of chain and a lock to this zip and bolt it down, leaving enough length to reach in and unlock it, leaving the key for the lock somewhere accessible at home, and a copy on your key-chain in case you want to unzip the rear window when out and about. Another tip for soft top owners who don't have AC and find it too hot even with the windows down. Drop the rear window down. It should stay down even at high speeds, regardless of weather it's a plastic or glass window (from experience with a plastic one). If you'rs doesn't stay down, attach a Velcro strip to the top of the window flap and it'll hold it down to the rear shelf securely. An alternative use for the cup holder/ash tray; if you want somewhere to sit your phone instead, remove the cup holder. This dip is the perfect size for most phones, and is close enough to the cigarette lighter than a 0.3m (normal length) charging cable will reach a charger adaptor. You can also slip your charging cable under the edge of the centre console and rout it out through one of the holes in the cup holder dip.

[@AlexPerrucci]

Love these, great tips!

[@300zxdriver]

Headlights don’t move by themselves, people lean on them.

[@mountainflyhigh]

And if you're going to flush them up again, there are 2 bolts you loosen that allows them to be moved without tweaking the metal.

[@xDskreevle]

For the people with a trunk release, you can still use your key to lock the trunk and disable the interior release. If you have some valuable stuff in there it might be usefull for your peace of mind to know this trick ;)

[@Username-ng8jy]

Wait. Trying to figure this out. Mine won’t lock the trunk. It opens only. Could you elaborate. Please and thank you!

[@lorrieking5975]

How do you disable the inside trunk release? I love my top down from spring to fall but I have found my center consul messed with when returning to the car.

[@xDskreevle]

Well I can turn my key one way to open the trunk and the other way seems to do nothing, but actually locks the trunk and disables the trunk release. In my European nbfl at least

[@cameronglowacki3250]

A little known fact about the miata is that if you undo the latches at the top of the windshield, you can actually take off the roof!

[@Shiznit304]

You can disable the interior trunk release by turning the key to the left

[@ami_87]

WHAAAT I gotta try this now

[@EquiliMario]

Love the method of storytelling. Didn't know about the frankenstein bolt caps on the hardtop. Neat. And surprisingly I have two battery fasteners in my '94 xD No idea why

[@TJ-rx4zl]

Cup holder in between the seat belt clip and the side bolster worked best for me. The seat belt clip held it nicely.

[@danielskrskr]

I thought the previous owner had removed the trunk release for whatever reason. Made me feel better to hear that it was made like that

[@grim-ripa]

I must have a 90 interior cus I swear it's a 91 but no trunk switch lol

[@swift9417]

[@egguw]

battery tie down also great for daily driving through the canyon i live in

[@kennethcohagen3539]

Having a loose battery will cause them to fail much quicker than if they were tied down in any vehicle. The plates in the battery don’t like to get jolted. No hold down allows the battery to bounce around whenever you turn, accelerate, brake or hit bumps or potholes in the road. If they move enough to dent the body you’re damaging you battery!

[@patyellowbear9928]

Thanks bro I have bought 04 NB a week ago. Love this car already. I had NC before buy I feel the first two generations are the best Miatas.

[@lorrieking5975]

Alex both driving lights shut off simultaneously. I checked fuse and looked through the glass lens. I did not see any melting or fusing and my fuse is good. Now what do I do. Thank you, Lorrie Forgot to tell you that my Miata is a 2002. And I love my car, so much fun! And I love your videos! I am always referring to my owners Manuel but you cover things that are important to an owner and you can see instead of just reading.

[@gardenclaw6995]

My 92 is missing the battery tie down and has the dent. However the mounting point for the battery tie down is there. So I just put two cable ties together and wrapped them horizontally round the battery and tightened them up to the tie down mounting point. Now the battery doesn't move during hard cornering.

[@veahpereabras6969]

The battery placement could not be in a worse position. It's nigh on impossible to attach clamps to the negative terminal without causing serious injury to your hand and 30 mins of your time. I had 2 extentions made to increase the length of the terminals and now it only takes 30 seconds to attach both the terminals. Simple, cheap and effective.< ====extention=====>attach to terminal.

[@rhythm7426]

[@demon1954]

There’s a more precise method of adjusting the headlight lids. It does involve some adjustments and some swearing.

[@bsturn]

Previous owner installed a trunk release in my 90, which is good considering my key binds in the lock

[@AlexPerrucci]

Good point, my spare key binds sometimes.

[@darkrage1138]

@@AlexPerrucci SO funny thing about that, if you read the owners manual of the miata, only 1 of the keys is supposed to open the trunk, the "spare" keys aren't supposed to but are just close enough to work if you force it. So basically every time you open the trunk with the spare, you're potentially damaging the lock.

[@skitalkdotcom]

NB2 to NB1 center console swap if you want a usable cupholder. While on this, NB2 cupholder lid's springs break, a paper clip can be reformed as a spring.

[@jameselko7232]

I had a big laugh today. I had my oil changed ( sorry I’m 67 years old and the days of self oil changes are not over just limited) and those kids trying first to find the oil filter and then trying to unscrew it with a hot engine was entertaining. They got the tallest most skinny orangutan armed person in the shop with a pair of Kevlar arm sleeves and they finally did the deed. I tried to tell them where it was with no results. I pulled the operation manual out and finally convinced them. The last filter was black and nestled as it is, they just couldn’t see it. Zoom zoom.

Found this: If you don't know your antitheft user code, or to remove one previously set, follow the same procedure three times entering an invalid 1 to 4-digit user code each time. Once an invalid 1 to 4-digit user code is entered three times, "err" flashes in the radio's display. When flashing "err" displays, the radio is now set to accept the following re-set procedure. Press the # 1 button Press Stop/Eject Press Am/Fm Press Clock Button -- -- -- -- Will appear. Enter code 4 9 8 9 Press F/Forward & Reverse at the same time and hold for a couple seconds. The code should now be removed. Follow the instructions in your manual to set a new code. From my 91 manual, this is how to set a new code: begin with the audio unit off and the ign switch in acc position. press rew and ff simultaneously for 2 sec until cod e is displayed again press re and ff while cod e is displayed, within 10 seconds. now the display should show 3 bars. while the bars are displayed, input your new personal code number by pressing channel preset buttons 1,2,3 and 4. press 1 for the first digit, 2 for the second,3 for the third and 4 for the last digit. if your chosen number is 2547, press 1 three times, 2 six times, 3 five times and 4 eight times. if the display returns to time while inputtinjg begin from step 1. while the code number is displayed, press rew and ff for approx 2 sec until a beep is heard and cod e begins to flash. after approx 5 sec, the display will change to the time, this indicates the new code is set. remember to write the code down and put in glove box or similar.

A year or 2 into owning it, my car randomly stalls while I'm driving like 40mph, but for some reason turns it right back on in the middle of the drive, and after getting to work, AAA told me the battery shifted, and actually sparked from the one terminal touched the metal tie-down or w/e 😲😲 So now it has some cardboard drink holder shoved in between the battery and trunk panel 🤣🤙

Regarding the trunk, I can only get in with a key as well and mines a ‘91.

[@clean1566]

I installed a remote release from Moss motors. The button went where the cigarette lighter was, inside the console.One of the better accy's I bought. It's more secure than newer Miata's, cause I could lock console eliminating access to trunk release.

[@joshbrock2663]

fyi my 91 has no center console trunk release either. just the fuel latch
