new guy in socal
 

hey all, just bought a 91' with 70k original miles. everything works, even AC!

Welcome, aznpersuasion89. Check out the Miata Gallery and post up some pics!

Short nose crank? If you are going to do a 1.8 swap that won't matter, but if you were thinking of keeping the original engine, you might want to find out.

ok, i dont know anything really about the miata engines, but ill find out thanks. why would that really matter?

looks like im good, last 6 are 237355


"More information on the short nose crank. Miata.net Garage Thanks Samnavy!
Bottom Line: All '90s were subject to the problem. The separation point for '91s is vin numbers 209446 - 209447"

Good, if you want to run the car with that engine for a while. The "short nose" crank is a large reliability problem with the early engines, I think few last past 70k miles.

What part of socal?

oceanside (camp pendleton)

Right on, Im in Vista.

nice, do you have any pics of your car?
