Mar 8, 2010 · BTW, the Fiat version of the ND does use the older style transmission of the NC. Thus it would be as flat towable as a six speed NC. Note that Mazda, and presumably Fiat do not authorize or condone flat towing (as you know). I have drained my transmission oil several times and inspected for any sign of metal or over heating. i have found neither.

Mar 8, 2010 · The Fl-22 stuff is the long life coolent mix that Mazda has been using for a while in the newer cars. Not sure how long the life is but goes for quit some years. For those that have those grungy overflow plastic tanks ; I removed mine , plugged the drain hole and put a mix of TSP with water in it and left it to sit overnight, then drain and flush.

Mar 8, 2010 · But stock Z3 compared to a Miata, the Miata is probably a better car by most measures: suspension; reliability; ease of maintenance; steering, shifter; etc. are better on the Miata. The BMW 1.9 engine is a dog, the 2.8 I6 is nice, and the S52 M engine is addictive (even if it's not a "true" M engine).

Mar 8, 2010 · Suspension and hubs: The ideal would be if one of Mazda's FWD cars had the same hub geometry as the miata but this is extremely unlikely.
