    As per the pic, its a 1.8. Look at the intake manifold, peeps. Also, 1.8 has the CAS on the exhaust side, but the pic is really too blurry to tell. All US miatas from 94-05 had a 1.8 engine. Probably the hood was swapped.. Miata 101 people.
    Just another cracka azz cracka with an Old Beat up '97

    lol just when I start to reconcile the idea of having a European Miata KFJ steps in and ruins everything lol. 1.8L USDM it is. I am both happy and upset. The Air Intake I ordered was for the 1.6L. I guess I will just have to wait and see if it will fit or not. I'm hoping that at most I will only have to work around the top coolant hose.

    It most likely won't work with your MAF.

    I started wondering after thinking about how someone got a 1.6 to work with OBD2 electronics and the sensors needed to keep it happy (the ECU).

    Thank you KFJ. GOOD NEWS!!!!! CARiD.com just E-mailed me. They say that the part I ordered is on back order from the factory. They gave me the option to cancel my order. I went to the WeaponR website and ordered directly from them a Carbon Fiber intake for $165.00 plus $15.00 shipping. I made sure that it was for the 94-04 1.8L engine. It was actually cheaper than the aluminum intake. Go figure. 2-7 days shipping. I'll keep yall posted. This is prety cool cause I saw the same one on Ebay for $235.00.

    I got it to pass smog!!! But I still have a misfire. Does anyone have a line on new but inexpensive parts? I plan to get a project block in the future to build up. I'm not sure if I want to do to much after market upgrades on this engine. I just need it to be reliable for when my bike brakes down or the weather is really bad. I'm looking in to possibly having to replace any one or all of the following. The Cam Position censor, Ignition Coil, Mas Airflow Censor, Throttle position censor, so on ans so fourth. I haven't gotten around to testing them yet. I'm just trying to get an idea of how much I'm going to end up spending. Usually I wouldn't worry to much about it. But I was out driving it two days ago and lost my clutch. The clutch grabs wonderfully but I get no pressure in the pedal and cant put it in to gear. My son I bled the hydraulic system. The slave cylinder, despite an extremely slow leek that is only known because of fluid on the lower A-arm, reacts to the pedal being pressed and pushes on the lever like it should. So I'm guessing I have a worn throw out bearing (Clutch release bearing). With all the work and time it's going to take to get to it I'm figuring I should just get a clutch kit and replace all the clutch components. This is going to cost almost $400.00. Not to mention that I'm having some other issue with the cars idle dropping every time the coolant fans come on or when I turn on the A/C fan. I'm running out of funds fast atm and not getting much time to get more funds . Any info on where to get good parts cheap will be worth gold to me right about now. Thank you in advance.

    Congrats passing smog!

    Take that list of items you want to replace, and begin diagnosing them each. Most can be tested following the factory service manual. We have a link to them. With disappearing funds, you need to be sure before taking a shotgun approach to repairs.
