Hi all,

I’m doing research so I know how much to save up when my suspension needs an overhaul.

I’ve heard mk2 topmounts add 15mm of travel effectively lowering the car 15mm. Is that fair and accurate?

Additionally the mk2 Bilsteins are much better than mk1 and also 10mm lower?

So between the 2...

Hi My AC radiator is rotten so I’m going to do AC delete (not used it much in northern Scotland) and fit an aluminium radiator, I’ve seen quite a few at prices from around £130 to £300 any recommendations from people that have experienced them and how easy they were to fit to standard fixings....

Can you make the passenger window automatic like drivers side ?

Would one of these fit with a strut brace in situ...have a feeling the cone filter would get in the way,or would it be either or?
Also, I see on doing some research I see that there are COLD AIR kits available. Are these the same as induction kits with the cone filter?
Apologies if these are...

On all models from 1989 to 2005 the oil dip stick handle breaks,if it has not yet ...it will simply because of age and heat, and just become brittle, if you get a new one, it will just do the same further down the line..

So I've been looking at 4-2-1 manifolds and aluminium radiators for my mk1 1.8 for a while now and have finally decided I'm going to stop hesitating and just buy them.

Question is, what is best? The car will mainly be used as a daily driver so fast road. there is potential that in the very near...

Hi guys,

I have seen a few cars with, what appears to be, an upgraded ARC (I only know this cos I saw one with ARC Magic written on it).

Questions are in the subject box really, can anyone enlighten me please.

Evening all.

A buddy has a mk1 import that is in decent bodywork condition, but the engine is a bit tricky.

Here is the question: the aircon unit under the bonnet has been removed. The heating still works and the blowers etc, but the compressor is still there, as is the extra fan.

Can you...

Hi,
Looking for a bit of guidance.
My son has just bought a boot spoiler, so I had to but a new boot lid (so as to leave the original available to switch back).
1.) Is there a right and wrong place / way to fit a spoiler. e.g. no more than 3" form the edge etc.
2.) The new boot came with an...

Dash lights behind Speed and rev dials etc currently come on with headlights. Is there any way to keep them on, at full brightness regardless of headlight use/settings?

i'm going to fit a MK2 dash to my MK1 other than the dash , glove box and center console do i also need the instrument cowl and the plastics that surround the indicator stalk or do the mk1 ones fit, cheers.

The cooling fan on the MK 1 has never been the most reliable, it is not very powerful and very often fails, either dead or become weak, a common upgrade is to fit a cooling fan from an Auto as they are bigger and have a more powerful motor , these are not easy to come by and they fail just like the...

Jass is now having an UK Eunos 1.6 limited 93 in a good body condition, an ex-OC car actually.

Long story short though - while doing some initial maintenance, I tried fitting in it, but without much success.
Defoamed the seats to the maximum, but its still very narrow and the reason is the build...

Car has an electric aerial that does not work but I have not seen it yet.

So either change the mast if the electrics are OK or the owners fancies a stubby aerial.

Looking at the mx5parts site you need the manual base plus their kit form the Mk3 to go stubby.

Ebay of course have the full kit for...

i know that the later style oil pressure gauge is pretty much useless ,is it an easy job to convert to the earlier type gauge if so what is it that you need to change ,i'm guessing i would need a oil pressure sensor the the early car and do you need the actual gauge from the dash.

Hi, i've put a nice MK2 roof on my '91, which has no wiring/plug for heated rear screen.

Cheers,
