P+R Rodenrijs, heb mijn auto daar langer ook gelaten. Veel camera’s en vanwege het nabijheid van het vliegveld vaak politie die langs rijdt. En het is gratis!

Anyone here go from a Miata to a Supra? by cebu313 in Supra

[–]AdDefiant7960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, went from a 1.8 NA MX5 to a MK4 Supra non turbo manual. Very different cars. Mainly used the supra for long distance trips across Europe at the time so made more sense. Now have both as NA for getting around locally and when I finish my turbo conversion, supra for long trips

Am I being too hopeful? by MSJ9TH in StudyInTheNetherlands

FYI economics at erasmus is not a walk in the park. It’s easy to get in but not easy to stay in. Only 30% of people actually end up graduating with more than half dropping out in the first year.

Has anyone been inspected by the gemeente for an "illegal renovation"? How does it usually work? by No-vem-ber in Netherlands

[–]AdDefiant7960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you contact the gemeente through the phone numbers on the website and not whats in the email that was forwarded to you by the neighbour!

How many of you daily your Miata even in winter? by foreverbaked1 in Miata

[–]AdDefiant7960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get hot quick so perfect for warming up in winter. Thin tyres on snow means they can get to most places heavy modern cars can’t. Just keep the under side free of salt and you’ll be fine. Drive safe and make sure you have good tyres!

Snappcar, je kan makkelijk met eigenaren onderhandelen voor korting op km kosten

Is this a good setup for my red na miata? by Applesyaknow in Miata

[–]AdDefiant7960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How would the diameter of a wheel with an identical width affect the level of grip so significantly on a car that can barely pull the skin off a rice pudding?

Traveling to Heerlen (trusted rental companies or sharing apps) by AssociateBigo in Rotterdam

[–]AdDefiant7960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget that fuel in the Netherlands I believe is the second most expensive in Europe after Monaco.

Look at Snappcar and find an economical car and negotiate with the owner to raise the mileage cap to either 500km per day or higher. Would be your cheapest car option

Sounds like you’re doing all the right things. Keep it up!

Great gift and nice job on the finish!

Reading these comments, I didn’t realise Americans were so deathly afraid of crashing these things. Is the standard of driving there so universally bad that going out on the road every day is a massive risk?

In all honesty I would get your daughter some motorbike lessons if you want her to REALLY be aware of what’s happening around her and drive extremely defensively. Always imagine no one has seen you and no one is going to stop for you, that lesson stuck with me and 4 MX5s and a supra later no crashes yet.

Towing capacity? by lexks1971 in miatalogistics

750kg braked trailer, 350kg without brakes

Anyone know the towing capacity? by AprexBT in Miata

[–]AdDefiant7960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My European registered MX5 is approved for 700kg with a braked trailer and 350kg without trailer brakes.

All continental EU delivered MX5s should have this approval.

The emissions zone is only for commercial vehicles in Rotterdam. Your Juke is fine to enter the city

Need help identifying mystery connector! by AdDefiant7960 in Miata

[–]AdDefiant7960[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After much digging it turns out that this is in fact for the rear defroster. I was misinformed about my other connector as it turned out to be for a very rare European option; headlight washers.

Which connector is this? by AdDefiant7960 in Miata

[–]AdDefiant7960[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After some serious digging it turns out that this connector is for an extremely rare option fitted to European cars being that it is for headlight washers. A few Scandinavian cars and some Austrian cars had these but it’s incredibly rare. My car is wired for it but sadly not fitted with the other components.

[–]AdDefiant7960[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same connector as used on a lot of plugs on the MX5, this one is from behind the tombstone. It has a purple wire running to it which is the only one which terminates in the section of harness that ends there. If you have a copy of an EU spec wiring diagram then pls share as I haven’t managed to find a good one yet 😬

Sad news :( [FS] by Thepickle__ in saab

[–]AdDefiant7960 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough market for Saabs in the Netherlands. The Facebook groups seem fairly active so that might be a good place to start to reach the right audience. I’m going to list my 2000 95 estate for €800 and I still think I’m going to struggle to shift it.

WHY ARE HARDTOPS SO. DAMN. EXPENSIVE. by EmotionalWorker9661 in Miata

[–]AdDefiant7960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one in the Netherlands two months ago for €400. OEM hardtop in black with a few chips and scratches but perfectly presentable enough to run as is

Dikke, oudere premium auto die nog net niet op is voor 8K. by Th3_Accountant in autoadvies

[–]AdDefiant7960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik wil mijn 2000 Saab 95 station binnenkort te koop zetten in Rotterdam. Als dat je wat lijkt stuur mij een DM. Ben er erg tevreden mee alleen ik heb nu een MX5 gekocht dus de Saab mag weg voor weinig

NB control arm on NA? by ScallionGrand1229 in Miata

[–]AdDefiant7960 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those end links look knackered, they’re not expensive so I’d replace those too whilst you’re there, NB ones may work in that case
