My winter project is to refresh my suspension bushes in my Mk2, the car is only used for Hillclimb / Sprints and driving to and from events so not worries about general road comfort. I currently suffer from a few knocks and bangs at the moment when cornering hard and want to replace the original 22...

After seeing all of the recommendations for MeisterR suspension, i took the plunge and ordered a set of SPORTIVE coilovers for my 2002 montana
Fitted them two weeks ago and OMG they are incredible. the car feels soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better to drive. Not too hard but so much more...

Hi all this is my first post, I have recently bought a 2004 dark grey metallic 1.8 euphonic. Really enjoying the car and working my way through the car fixing problems. So far I have had 4 new discs fitted, new front springs. The car is booked into body shop for new rear wings and rear inner...

Hi.
I have been guided here (thanks Mazda Mender) for advice on how to attach the OEM Small Side Skirts to an MK2 without the fitting kit.
The OEM skirts I have found are in good condition but is missing all of the fitting kit. How easily can I fit this without the kit?
The last thing I want is it...

Had a 'quick' look on MX5parts site today and got a little bit click happy lol

Its a wish list, so no money spent yet :shock: :shock:

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..

Jass performance do a very nice alloy upgrade to this issue which fixes to...

Hi all, I've had a bash at searching for 10mins but not stumbled upon anything that helps me out at my limited skill level.

I've got a stock mk2 1.8 exhaust and to my knowledge the egr is still there.

> Can EGR be easily be switched / blanked off without causing MOT issues and engine check...

Looking to change the look of the back of my mk2. Anyone done anything? Lights, bumper?

Im looking to get a racing beat back box for my 2.5 but i also want to change thw centre pipe aswell. The only issue i see with the racing beat centre pipe is that it has no o2 sensor position so it would throw a CEL and fail mot. The only centre pipe i have seen that does have a o2 sensor but...

Hi All

Just ordered one of these for a mk2.5 and wondered how easy for a complete novice it is to fit?

To give you some idea of my experience I did manage to change the old electric aerial and fitting for a stumpy aerial last week and was proud of my achievement! so we are talking basic...

Hi all. I've decided to fit an aftermarket heated seat kit, namely the Weaco magic comfort MSH60. Has anyone else fitted one of these to an MX5 MK2? I've found a fair amount of info around the net which should see me ok for fitting the heater pads. I'm just looking for any advice on switch...

Hi all, my first post here so please be gentle.

I'm a newbie to 5's and got one ( 98 NB 1.8iS ) as a toy/spare in September. I don't need it daily so can afford the time for it to be off-road , but don't have the £budget to throw at mods, so its just gradual stuff over the long term.

Its got a...

Here it is...
Right, I have this coming from eBay, now, firstly it has idiot lights that are not applicable to my car, like ABS. So if I get it MOTd and they see the light dummy sat there would it fail as it doesn't light up?

Also, I have quite a bit of modifying done to my old cluster. Temp...

Hi all, I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, so feel free to move it.
I've been looking for a dipstick handle this week, and found this.

It's not made to fit the MX5, but the fixing hole is 6mm diameter and 15mm deep. I don't have my car here at the moment because it's laid up for...

Good Morning,

Got all the parts needed to facelift my MK2 to a MK2.5 front end

Anyone done/or know of a guide for the wiring?

I have all the connectors for the 2.5 headlights with a length of wire, I understand that there are some difference... :roll:

Thanks in advance

I was considering swapping the coilovers from one car to another but have now decided just to lower the car instead.
I don`t want the car slammed as such, just lowered to improve it`s stance and allow the wheels to fill the wheel arches.
MX 5 parts sell springs but I am confused as to which ones to...

?

I have a dimmer switch to install on a mk2 in place of the blank to the right hand side of the steering wheel. The switch did not come with the connector so I am not sure of the wire connections. 100_3174.jpg 100_3177.jpg If anybody has a car fitted with a dimmer switch as standard can you have a...

I am off to pick up my, new to me soft top, can is use my MX5 to transport it or won't it fit in the passenger seat?

Seen this on fleabay, will it fit?

Hi Guys, Well it's MOT time again and I am determined this year not to have the same old argument/discussion regarding the rear high intensity lamp (sometimes mistakenly called the rear fog light). The importer from whom I bought the car did the usual conversion of the offside reversing light and...

I'm looking for advice from anyone that has taken out the air vent gimbals and used the resulting hole as a mount for auxiliary gauges. I understand that the gimbals come out easily enough and that the resulting hole is approximately the right size to fit a standard size 52mm gauge but I am not...

I have just installed three auxiliary gauges that are illuminated by LED's. The light output is very bright and as the Mk2 does not have a means for reducing the light intensity of the dash panel gauges I was wondering if anybody had installed a potentiometer or a mazda dimmer switch to enable the...

oil spiggot.jpg Hi,

Thought I would open a new thread regarding the installation of an oil sandwich plate to my mk 2 Eunos roadster (1998). NB8C. I have just tried to fit the oil sandwich plate and new filter but this has proved impossible due to the manifold support bracket.
The dimensions are as...

Hi,

I've obtained a triple gauge mounting bracket from MX5 parts in Portsmouth to replace the cubby box and I would appreciate any advice regarding the removal of the cubby box and also the fitting of an electrical water temperature, oil pressure and ammeter/voltmeter. I have previously replaced...
