Here is myĀ āGā Limited Eunos. The āGā Limited has a number if individual features and is my personal favourite (Iāve owned two) had this one for two years.
You just never seem to hear about themĀ and hardly ever see them. Iāve been to few rallyās and meets only ever seen two others in the āfleshāĀ - one atĀ a Rally and one at a cross area meet at a brewery / pub.
The Pictures taken on my phone probably donāt do it justice.

The Steering wheel is unique to this model
Ā
and so are the seats - blueĀ sued with separate head restsĀ Ā Ā
Ā
This was one of the first models with the slightly higher power engine 1.33bhp and had the lightened flywheel which makes it feelĀ a bitĀ nippier and has the Torsen LSD.
Ā
I bought it bog standard with 80k miles on and Iāve added a few bits: -
Remote Central Locking with Boot Release
Dots wheels
Stainless Duel Exit Exhaust
Engine Brace and Style Bar
Pioneer Stereo with Bluetooth Hands Free Ā
Hard Top with tinted / heated rear screen - soft top in perfect condition.
A few bitĀ of chrome - not OTT I hope.
Front Spoiler
Gaz Gold Pro Shocks - with full GEO
Ā
I canāt understand why know one seems to know about this versionĀ - There were only a few differences but I think the styling wasĀ really nice - I love it anyway
Ā
Are there any other āGā Limited Owners out there??
Yes, but not many of us last time I asked although 1500 were reputably built.
I like the hardtop in Satellite Blue, have been thinking for some time about what colour to get and yours is the first I have seen in this colour. Have never seen one for sale so I guess a re spray will be needed.
Mine had the blue seats but they were too far gone and I prefer leather, so I picked up a pair from a 10Aniv edition in black and blue which I think suit.
Nice looking car Ā although personally I prefer the original seven spoke wheels.
Hi DaveĀ the hard top came with the last āGā Limited I hadĀ and was Satellite Blue in the first place.
Ā I still have the original 7 spoke lightweight wheels in fact Iāve kept all of the original parts.Ā Ā
Ā Iām sure we are not alone, there must be others out there! It would be interesting to know how many. Do you recall how many there were last time you asked the question?
Ā I have walked around the car parks/fields at rallyās and Iāve seenĀ two others - at Gaydon there were 5 or 6 Le Mans and only 1 āGā Limited Mine!
I got a G!! Ā Like you, I think colour is brll, especially when highly waxed and sitting in sunlight - it can;t decide if it wants to be blue or purpleā¦ or both.
I donāt have LSD, I think was factory option, and mine sits on non-original wheels; if ever you consider parting with your originals, let me know, Iād be very (very) interested.
I couple my G with a silver hardtop - itās a great combination. Ā In my hometown, I saw a silver Mk1 wearing what looked like a satellite blue HT, so inspired me to go for a contrast (plus lots of silver tops around, and Iād never seen a satellite blue one anywhere).
My carās pretty standard, but I did fit decat-pipe and MX5Parts dual outlet exhaust; a great sounding combination, much loved by my son. ;-))
Itās been treated to a great set of Nankang NS-2R and yellowstuff pads, and has thrashed its way around Blyton for the last 2 years, will be at Curborough sprint in April as well. Ā I love that the car looks great, but love even more that it drives really great; after years of company-car Euro-box ownership itās a delight to spend time in my G, as well as tinkering with a poverty-spec 1990 Mk1, and having treated my wife and I (both in our 50th year) to a PRHT Mk3 I canāt imagine weāll ever be without a 5 of some kindā¦ and I think itāll be the G that remains āthe keeperā.
Keep enjoyingā¦ hopefully will see it Spring and National Rally, maybe Blyton?!?
Tim your car sounds great I would like to see some pictures if you have any?
Did I meet you at an āacross areaā meet at a Brewery??
As for the wheels - I donāt think; I will put them back on, my plan was have the option of restoring the car to standard if I ever chose to at some point.
I might be tempted to sell the wheels, which are stored in the greenhouse and I do have another set of aftermarket āemergency Wheelsā in there - perhaps make an offer?
Their fitted with Maxxis 185/60/R14ās and all have about the same tread - look almost new to me?? a bit dusty in the picture.
I have never taken the 5 on the track - Iām very (very) tempted! I will be bringing the G to the spring rally though!
Correct; the G-Limited was loosely based on the then new āM-Packageā. Previously, owners buying a 1.8 could either order the base model, on steel wheels and all, or go to the next trim level, the S-Package, which threw in power mirrors, and the 4.100 Torsen (4.300 from 1996). The M-Package was sort of in between; not a stripped vehicle like the base model, but a bit cheaper than the S-Package (Japan was going through hard times back then). The G-Limited had the unique seats and paint. Its default spec was without Torsen and on Showa shocks, with the standard 14" alloy wheel. Obviously, a number arrived with Torsen. Its too early to receive the Phase 2 engine (133hp); those were fitted from NA8C-4******. The Phase 1.5 cars were short lived; these had the earlier engine, but with the Phase 2 flywheel and a 4.300 T1 Torsen (Phase 2 went to a 4.300 T2 Torsen). These are in the series NA8C-3******. As far as I know, these are all RS-Limited or R-Limiteds.
Yes, I think we did meet at Wood Farm Brewery (joint NEM/Nāton/Phoenix meet?)
I really would recommend a spot of time on track; MX5 comes alive when not constrained on roadsā¦ go for the novice session at Blyton. Ā PeteMac and all the team on the day will help with tons of advice, and you will NOT feel intimidated at all - itās great fun.
Canāt remember exact number of fellow owners, it was almost two years ago now but I think you could count them on one hand.
Ā This is āBluebellā
This Bluebell at the paint shop last autumn
Inside, although now she has nice new mats.
Engine bay
New rocker cover ready to go on along with gasket and CAS o ring
Front corner after āmuppetā decided he had time to turn right across the front of me two weeks ago, engineer coming to access the damage on Thursday, thankfull he is a good āmuppetā and held his hands up so his insurance is paying.
Like you done many things, new shocks, springs, brakes, fitted front lamps, did you know the G has a slightly different loom and is prewired for driving/fog lamps, electric mirrors etc?
Hi knighthauler, yes I am in the CNW group and have been for the last two years. Unfortunately you meet on the second Wednesday of the month which is the same night as the Midget & Sprite club which I have been a member of for ten years, so we still meet up with long time friends there.
Thanks for the pictures I like the seats! I saw some of them on e-bay a while back and seriously thought about buying them, but they werenāt as good as your appear to be. I think they definitely suit it best out of all the alternatives out there - my seats are pretty good at the moment though.
Shame about the corner bump! The reason Iām on my second āGā Limited is that some idiot tried to intimidate me on the motor way and hit another car before forcing me into the barrier at 70mph - I survived but the āGā didnāt!
Interesting about the wiring - I fitted the Hard Top from my first āGā and all the wiring was there for the screen, but that may the case for all?? I just had to fit a switch and the LA10 relay near to the boot release.
Hope to see you around in your āGā are you going to the spring rally?
"Some say its based on a M-Package, but there is no 1995 M-Package listed by Mazda, so assume that the G-Limited to be based on the M-Package to be erroneous.
I have heard this before that the āGā Limited is based on the M Package and is a Series 1.5 and the spec is assumed from those 2 facts but is it? and why is the information about the āGā Limited spec not simply available on the net as it is for all the others??
Its not based on a S-Package (if so, it would have been despecced losing the power mirrors), its not based on the S-Special (no Bilsteins, no Torsen as standard). Then it must be based on the base model. Links to specs previously provided, in Japanese. It doesnāt really matter in the end though.
Hi Curlyteeth,
Do you happen to know the length of the cat on your car.
Thinking of replacing the exhaust system and have measured mine at 37cm, yet replacement sites all say it should be 44cm for my car.
Confused!
