Hey all,,,I have a 95 MX5 I think???? I know that sounds weird but the title and VIN say one thing but the VIN on the firewall doesn't match!!!??? The sticker under the hood says a 91... can you look at the 1.6 and 1.8 and tell a difference? Is there another way to know what I have?

DROPTOP 02-23-2012 03:57 PM

no passenger airbag,,,how to post pix? i have one pic in my profile...

seems to me you may have a 1.8 in your 1.6. Common conversion, and its a plus too, the 95s I think still had the oil port in the rear for easier boosting

DROPTOP 02-23-2012 04:20 PM

hey Track, what do i look for on the engine to tell the differance?

MF-Brain 02-23-2012 04:49 PM

raised on sunken letters on the valve cover?


there are tons of ways to quickly tell, that's an easy one. but no passenger airbag = 1.6L = 90-93.


sounds like you need to get your title straighten out. 'cause you technically don't own the car you are driving if the VIN doesn't match the one on the dash.

DROPTOP 02-23-2012 05:40 PM

Title and vin on dash match..... vin on firewall doesn't

rasied letters =1.8
sunken= 1.6
