i have a quick question

well i am getting my car ready for the spring and want a powersteering belt because the car didnt come with one when i bought it.

my question is what length is the belt for a 1990 n/a gxl. is it 96.5 or 105.5 cm long. i was just on the mazda trix web site and would like to know before ordering blindly.

Any parts store with a computer will have that answer for you. I liked my car with the P/S belt off then I did with it on.

well, my girlfriends brother said that not having everything on the motor can tax other parts and wear unneccisarily, hence why i am looking for the right sized belt. the web site didnt really give me much information on why one size was bigger than the other. im still looking for an answer pleaseeeee!!!

He is right in certain circumstances.

What do you mean one size is bigger then another? Are you asking why, say, the alternator belt is smaller then the P/S belt? Go look at your car!

Honestly you should have went to a parts website. But it's 42 3/8in. or probably the 105cm. one.
