I have just purchased an item on ebay measuring 495 x 390 x 195. weight is approx just under 5 kilos from a seller in TQ4 Paignton, Devon.

Is there a Mender that would be willing to collect the package on my behalf and deliver to the Mazda Menders stand at the MX5 Owners Club Rally at Gaydon on...

I've noticed space saver tyres can now be purchased for mark 3 and 3.5 models . It's a great improvement on that pathetic aerosol idea. However, the overall wheel and tyre diameter must be just over 24inches and having checked my boot size it seems to me to be a very tight squeeze to get one in....

Just about to buy a decat pipe and a stainless steel long centre branch manifold for my 1992 Eunos, noticed there does not seem to be anywhere on the new pipes for the sensors? Can I by pass the sensors or do I need to have them fitted for ECU to work? Any advice appreciated

Just seen this! Mazda Factory restoration for NA's (but only in Japan)

Quick question or two, I'm building my mk1 so I can use it in classic trials so want as much ride height as possible, I know the mk2 suspension will fit.
Question 1 will both the mk2 and the 2. 5 suspension fit my mk1?
Question 2 are the Bilstein shocks really as hard as everyone says?

When you don't need it ,but have to have it....

I was there Friday and Saturday. A very friendly show and not at all busy.

Some pictures of the MX5 stand and the characters.

Yesterday we beat the crap out of the NB on rough, rocky roads and it is obvious that the standard suspension (of unknown vintage) was not up to the job. I haven't been under to scrape the mud off and check the damage yet but we already know there is something buggered...

Don't really know if this is the right place for this but here goes.

Looks seriously interesting,very tempted particularly since deposits are returnable if it doesn't reach its target of 25.
Having been into hot rodding all my life this is the best engineered swap I have seen and a new Jag V6...

I was invited to the MX5 ND RF Preview Day at EMG Motor Company in Cambridge along with the Eastern Region. They had a display of cars showing the various types. I was asked to be the 'Modified' category.

I got a chance to drive a 2.0 RF. Having only driven the NA's that i own/owned,driving...

Hi, been doing some extensive body work repairs to my Mk1 (started with new rear arches but now going a full respray route). No way am I an expert!!! but I do have the benefit of being able to ask a friend who runs his own body shop and is in my view very knowledgable.

Two key things have struck...

Hi Menders :)

Just thought I'd share a couple of pics of the chassis rails on my 10AE

More of a test post for me to drag & drops images....but this is one thing that really really narks me off about 5's :-

So as not to hijack the thread from Shaz_Mx5's Mk1 S-Special Resto Project.

I am wondering just what the insurance companies are valuing a comparatively good condition Mk1 with minor damage. I am not an insurance estimator, but here does look much more than a few hundred quids worth of damage...
