    Help Identify NB Miata model

    Sorry for noob question but I just bought a NB Miata and am wondering what it has/it. I did some search but nothing came up for me using the search. It has black interior with nardi shift knob and steering wheel. Does not have cruise control or powerlock but has power window,mirror, adn 5 speed. I'm not sure if it has LSD or whatnot for the rear wheel, had a friend who looked under rear car and said it does.

    The torsen (lsd) was a dealer option so we really couldn't tell if you have one or not.
    IIRC all special editions, limited editions, leather package, and cruise/power package(not sure what its really called) came with torsens.
    Maybe this guide might help out, Link.

    Nardi steering and shift knob are standard on NBs.

    Call Mazda USA customer service, have the VIN ready. They will tell you the options that car came with.

    Many people change items on their car and with the newest NB quickly approaching 10 years old, it wouldn't be unusual to have extra features added over the years.

    I wish I could just look at the diff and tell if it's an LSD.

    Nice, clean Miata!

    There is a harmonic damper on the nose of the LSD units, sort of resembles a Maltese Cross.

    I agree with Jesus, call Mazda with your VIN# to get your car's build sheet... Also, Welcome to the site!

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I bought the car all stock, the guy only put highway miles to work. Inside is brand new 10/10.

    In my dealings with Mazda, they have not always been accurate.
