Subject: First model year / broken crank

I'd just like to point out to who-ever said they wouldn't by a first   

model

year car again, and sighted the '90 crank problem as a prime example,

that the motor in the miata, including the crank, are much older than

the miata. Mazda should have noticed  and rectified the problem much

earlier in the life of the 323's that also apparently exhibit this   

problem.



My point is, that the fact that the crank was fixed between the first and   



second year Miatas seems purely coincedental to me.



I do agree however, often small problems are rectified after the first

year of production on a new model, I just don't think this is the case   

here...
