Is the Mazda mx5 naturally aspirated?

Where did I Buy my Mazda MX-5 Mk3?
A quick background story of my Mazda MX-5 MK3 2.0….. Bought the car a month ago from a dealership in Plymouth, with only 28,000 miles on the clock! Had no problems with it at all until it began to rain.
Is the footwell MX5 Mk III a gutless car?
Got to drive a MkIV as a courtesy car, bit gutless, presume it must be a smaller engined variant. Nice inside though with all the extras, air con, etc. That’s where independent specialists come in, you’re paying approximately double there than from anywhere else.
Where is the water leak on my footwell MX5?
Thanks for that. the leak on that thread seems to be well forward, sort of under the glove box area. The water on mine is further back, inline with the front of the drivers seat. Also I pulled the seat forward last night and the area behind the seat was damp.

How to fix a Mazda MX 5 water leak?
Mine was about 2 inches deep under the carpet too – once you’ve fixed the leak, its best to remove the seat (4 bolts and one large electrical connector) and then lift the carpet and dry it out. I used a fan heater to dry the whole lot after mopping up the worst. http://myroadtrip.net/mazda-mx-5-fixing-a-leak-und…

Where are the grommets on a footwell MX5?
The scuttle area is between the top of the bonnet/engine bay area, and the bottom of the windscreen. Where your wipers are attached. Underneath the plastic panel are two grommets (one per side) into which a self tapping screw is attached. Buy two new grommets (couple of pounds) rather than clarting old knackered ones up in tonnes of sealant.
