Timing Belt
The 1.8 litre four cylinder engine in a 1995 Mazda Miata has a timing BELT
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.
The timing belt has been replaced with a no-maintenance chain on 2006 & up
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 timing belt has been replaced with a no-maintenance chain on 2006 & up
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.

There is no fan belt on a Mazda Miata.

You say MX5, not Miata, so do you really mean 2006 or newer MX5? If you really mean 1990-2005 Miata then the water pump is behind the timing belt cover. It is not driven by the t-belt, but the t-belt must be removed to change the pump.
