  • In this episode we get to see the Speedster for the first time since that "coming soon" preview about 3 years ago, and we fit a new cambelt and water pump to it!!

    Thanks for this guys. I've got the water pump and belt kit with all the various gaskets but I I just have to find the courage to start. But I've never done as big/crucial a job as this and I'm absolutely terrified of screwing something major up...😨

    Very honest your video. I have learned a lot of things.
    Watching you work, I think it would have been easier if you first removed the radiator.

    I have a question about the mx-5 NA, i live in mainland Europe and have been considering buying a mx-5 na.
    Now i came across a topic in a US forum claiming that early Miata's used asbestos in their clutch, brakes and gaskets and that Mazda used asbestos in their clutches up until 2001.
    As i want to wrench on the vehicle but rather not take chances i'd like to know if the EU mx-5 cars have this as well.
    Do you know if this is true?

      Koen Jonker If you change an old clutch, wear a good quality dust mask and gloves, don’t blow the dust everywhere, use brake and clutch cleaner on the bellhousing. It’s not going to kill you unless you snort the dust up numerous times. Values on NA’s are going up, get one!
