They’re only on there during a certain year or two. I think early cars had it, usually called the toilet bowl logo lol

wikipedia says they switched to the M in 97 so yeah i guess the later 1.8 NAs might have had em and the NBs all had em. people usually debadge their miatas so i’ve never paid too much attention

The nbs have the logo you see now…the nas had the “eternal flame”..I’ve heard the first 3 years of the nb had the “eternal flame” but I’m not sure on that one and I’m too lazy to Google

My 92 has an aluminum hood…not steel. It also has no hood ornament…it just has the word MAZDA on the right side of the front bumper. The hood ornament showed up in 94 I think…maybe 93.

the toilet bowl ornament showed up in 94 with the first 1.8’s. I want the Racing Beat bumper bad as fuck.

All Miatas had aluminum hoods replacements where steel 93 was the start of the eternal flame an some 92 had it added by dealers to help sell the old out of date models which is why a few sunbursts have been photoed with the flame there was never an oem steel hood
