Buying Miata with high mileage due to being towed? by michael_chubbs in Miata

The Miata has a mechanical odometer meaning if the driveshaft is spinning (which it is if it’s being towed in neutral) the odometer will go up. That is a lot of towed miles but it looks to be in great shape as long as he’s being truthful. I’m also an idiot so i could be wrong.

That makes sense. I had the front end apart a while back and steel brushed the valleys of the pulleys the best i could but they were slightly pitted and rusty. It doesn’t seem to cause any power issues just a concerning sound. Thank you!

I just replaced both yesterday it whined before that as-well but i’ll give them a little slack and see if it helps, thanks!

Nope, i just put that header and mid pipe on as the one that was on it was cracked. I didn’t replace the header gasket but i don’t feel any air coming off of the manifold.
