I've heard they didn't make a 98 and released the nb in 99

Looked into changing it, but Super Mod powers aren't quite enough.

well maybe overseas but here in the states I thought Mazda skipped the 98 year and released in 99 instead??

you mean 98 NBs or 1.6 NBs? Mazda produced ~58700 MX-5s in 1998, both 1.6 and 1.8... the 1.6 was matter of choice... they made it all the way from 1998 to 2005... we also got a 1.6NA even after the 1.8 was introduced

In the interest of international relations and world peace, this has been "fixed". (even though the very idea of a 1998 Miata or an NB 1.6 is just plain wrong)

Sounds like you kiddies didn't play enough Gran Tourismo growing up.

lol, i would love to have a 1.6 NB. it is a redid version of the B6, with a lot of the cool stuff that the BP4W got, only without the forged internals. it would be cool to have there in the states for the cool factor alone, plus i have a thing for 1.6s
