Detecting year model

[Billy Blaze]

I just noticed something yetsreday theat confused me, I have already sent my title out to be changed into my name....but I am almost 100% positive it said 1999 model.
So I am looking in the door jam yesterday at the production stcker and it says 1298 is there another way I dont know of to verify the year model?

I wouldn't be so concerned about it cept that I have noticed almost all the upgrades I am looking at have a cutoff date between 1998 and 1999.

Any help would be appreciated.

There was not a 1998 model Miata in the US, but the early 1999 models were built in 1998.

Models go like this (I think!?) -

NA 1.6 116hp/100ft-lb 1989-1993
NA 1.8 128hp/110ft-lb 1994-1997
NO 1998 MODEL PRODUCED
NB 1.8 136hp/114ft-lb 1999-current...

Mine is a 99, and was made in 8/98

The 8th digit counting back from the right in the VIN is the year code.

M = 1991
N = 1992
P = 1993
R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998
X = 1999
Y = 2000
1-9 = 2001-2009
It starts over at A in 2010

That settles it then its a 1999, just threw me off with the 12/98 sticker.
Thanks
