Tech Talk” and Running Information Is Provided As a Guide Only ech “Retrofying” your NA alk t ■ Words & photos: John Poletti, eastern Victoria Chapter Being a hopeless car The day I bought it: tragic my mind is Plain Jane (probably more continuously drifting into desirable today, though) visuals of tasteful chrome trim, not the 1970s American bling, but the British and Italian ’50s and ’60s subtle, stylish sports car type ... You know ... narrow elegant bumpers, shining interior toggle switches, small bullet shaped side mirrors, and long clickety snick gated gear shifters. Also a love of many things Italian takes me to the aural delight of the induction sound of pre-EFI Alfa Romeos (105 series or Alfetta) at wide-open throttle. Those dual Weber or Delorto carburettors ingesting volumes of oxygen in the way that Koni dampers/Kings springs. only a side-draft “Carburatori “ can. A good compromise between ride and To look upon an engine bejewelled in handling performance those melodic trumpets, it’s like the engine is attached to the carburettors, not the other way around! When I acquired my 1990 NA6 in 2014, all I wanted was a return to fun Webersin mock-up motoring after 10 years without a project car, and with no intention of stage prior to modifying it all. installation It didn’t take long, though, especially after joining the Mazda MX-5 Club of Victoria & Tasmania and meeting some friendly and influential members (you guys know who you are) as well as seeing and researching some of the NA project cars on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram! This led me to the project that sits in my shed now. So here is a list of the mods (that I can remember anyway) that I have perpetrated so far, that have slowly transformed the standard Crystal White 1990 NA6 into a kind of retro ’60s Gulf Racing tribute. i hope to continue painting on this “canvas” for years to come, and that you guys might be inspired to paint on your “canvas” . ● Webersfully set up ■ Please note: All “Tech Talk” and running information is provided as a guide only.

  • 2004 Mazda Miata Mazdaspeed
    Head Office: CAA-Quebec 444 Bouvier Street Québec, QC G2J 1E3 2004 MAZDA MIATA MAZDASPEED Since it debuted a dozen or so years ago, the Miata has become the best-selling roadster in the history of the automobile. To fan the flames, Mazda is introducing a beefed-up version called the Mazdaspeed. Its main distinguishing features include a turbo engine, 17-inch wheels, lowered suspension and red cloth seats. Only 250 units of the MAZDASPEED will be made available in Canada, with 85 reserved for Quebec. Interior and trunk It takes flexibility to enter and exit a car just 122.8 cm high. It also calls for co-ordination and precision of movement on the way in to avoid hitting your head against the top edge of the sharply raked A-pillar. Once inside, you’re seated in comfortable bucket seats that lose a bit of their support after an hour or two because of the rather skimpy padding. Seating is cramped for tall or heavily built people. The latter will discover that the seats too narrow, and the former will find that their head is higher than the windshield. Drivers enjoy a very good driving position as long as they are not too short and can live with a non-tilt steering column. However, there is not enough foot room between the fender well and the clutch pedal for them to stretch out their left leg. Additionally, because of the window vents, the outside mirrors are positioned quite far back where they are hard to use, especially for drivers of average height or less.

The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), which is also known as Drive-By-Wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed response and subdued acceleration, which can create problems in certain situations such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges and overtaking. SPRINTBOOSTER OVERCOMES THIS DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE BY PROVIDING CRISP, ON-TAP ACCELERATION WHENEVER THE DRIVER DEMANDS IT.

  • Everything About Miatas
    INTRODUCTION It has been 30 years since the Mazda MX-5 made its debut at the Chicago Auto Show. Thanks to an avid group of fans based all over the world, it’s still with us, and as popular as ever. It hasn’t always been plain sailing, of course. Over three decades ago, our team members set out to create a car that anyone could enjoy in any scenario, which is easier said than done. Hard work and dedication beyond the call of duty led to the production of a small vehicle that reignited the passion the lightweight sportscar (LWS) had once enjoyed in a more carefree era. Our loyal customers then guided us through its evolution. Over 1,000,000 MX-5s have been made so far, proving the car’s appeal beyond any doubt. But we will not rest on our laurels.
