PERFECT KIT!!!
This kit was absolutely perfect for my 1999 Miata. Everything was correct and high quality. Several hundred miles later and no issues what so ever.

More expensive, but an impressive collection of quality parts
I was very impressed with this kit. While you can buy many kits that are much less expensive, they generally consist of no-name parts. I spent a lot of time searching out individual parts, but was referred to this kit by an Amazon e-mail. Search done - ordered. This is an impressive kit that kit includes parts by Gates (including a new Gates racing timing belt), and other parts by branded manufacturers that look to be of very high quality. I have purchased Mazda OEM gaskets separately, but otherwise, this kit will hopefully result in long-lasting results. Note that I have not done the replacement yet, but IMHO, the parts included make the higher price well worth it.

Nice timing belt kit for '97 Miata 1.8

Need to buy a camshaft intake seal
I have a NB(1999-2005) Miata. Everything in the kit fit perfectly except the camshaft (intake) seal. The kit comes with 2 camshaft (exhaust) seals. Other than that it’s a great kit specially the timing belt quality.

Does not fit 2001 to 2005 Miata!
This kit does not fit the 2001 to 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata!This kit MIGHT be for the 1994 to 2000 non VVT engines but both camshaft seals are the same. The VVT engine, (2001 to 2005) uses 2 different camshaft seals.Both these are:MFGRFF# AH1968-FOOEMREF# FS05-10-602ANow I have to spend hours figuring out if any of the parts fit.The only reason you buy a "Kit" is to save time and have a lintel confidence that you have the all the right parts.Ugh!- Bill Kelly

Really could feel the performance difference.
I thought it a wee bit presumptuous to call something a racing timing belt but we could feel the performance difference. It has a more substantial feel to it than a traditional timing belt. (The water pump stopped the leakage we had going on.) I think it was worth the extra money.
