Timing Belt
The timing belt has been replaced with a no-maintenance chain on 2006 & up
The 1.8 litre four cylinder engine in a 1995 Mazda Miata has a timing BELT
The 2013 Mazda Miata is equipped with a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and require less frequent replacement compared to timing belts. This means that the timing chain in the Miata is designed to last the life of the engine under normal driving conditions.
The 2006 Mazda Miata is equipped with a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and do not require regular replacement like timing belts. This design helps reduce maintenance costs over the vehicle's lifespan.

No, it has a timing chain....
The Mazda Miata, specifically the first-generation (NA) models produced from 1990 to 1997, did not use a timing belt; instead, they were equipped with a timing chain. The second-generation (NB) Miatas from 1999 to 2005 continued to use a timing belt in the 1.8L engine. However, the later third-generation (NC) models from 2006 to 2015 reverted back to a timing chain. Therefore, the Miata models with a timing belt were only the NB variants.
