Spotted this posted on Nutz :lol:

Warning if you see a load of MX5's heading or in the Peak District area over the weekend approach with great care.
Known to throw loads of sarcasm & rude innuendo's in all directions. Also be aware not to use any walkie talkies on channels 2 & 5 On second thoughts strike that as you will...

I have no idea where i have got this from or who gave it to me, but boy is it sh*t hot.
First i cleaned the leather seats with it it took all of 10 mins, so i wondered if it would work on the vinyl roof with 12 years of crap on it which are a nightmare to get clean, it took 20 mins, i'll try it on...

The Nick (aka the captain) & Ian (aka The Bosun) fitting a new hood.

Boycie (aka Steve :lol: ) & Terry (aka The Admiral) Looking busy

Teamwork :clap:

Been fettling the Red un today ready for the trip to Falmouth next weekend. ;)

Are the gearboxes of Mk1 1.6 and 1.8 the same, some people I have spoken to, say yes some no?

What's your view

Terry

Thanks for being at the end of the phone buddy. Water pump all done & running as sweet as a nut.
I feel so chuffed carrying out the work by myself. I promise i'll call you first next time so as not to make more work than is needed :oops: But hey what a learning curve. Cheers Buddy :text-bravo:

Thanks again Wayne for doing a great job on my new hood today. It looks brilliant and I'm chuffed to bits :D

If I send you a few of the pics I took would you mind sticking them on here just so I can show her off a bit! ;)

Six weeks with the top up now though so you can bet we get a heatwave...

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me what a trap lip is and what purpose it has on our roadsters?

Where does it fit onto the car?

I saw one for sale and was just curious.

Thanks

Jen

Stop to re group

The track cars :D

Look who we met on our day out....Flea meets Flash

16,000 miles in 16 years :o

Bet it could do with a good ole Italian tune up :auto-car:

Heres an idea of extending the usefullness of an MX5 even if it doesnt drive anymore... turn it into shelves!
Check out what these mad people did with an old Jag in Clogland:

Wayne and Chris to the rescue again....top blokes...... helped me out getting a recently deceased club members Mk1 started.....was a simple fix but only due to these guys vast knowledge.

Thanks lads I owe u one :clap:

Took a pic or two

I know this might this might seem a rather trivial (and very easy job) for those that are mechanically minded, but I actually managed to change the bulb on my own - I was rather pleased with myself to be honest!

I keep meaning to join an evening class that did car maintenance but have never got...

i recently acquired a 1991 roadster to replace the gf's best friends one which was recently burned out in a garage fire.
having travelled from manchester to norwich for it and driving it home, i noticed a few jobbies that needed doing on her before turning it over to her new owner. all the work has...

Picked the flea up from Garath's yesterday after having the rear sills done inside & out so she's all new metal now. He made a fantastic job too. Shall i ask him to put pictures up on here?

And polish up the courtesy car, i`ll be with you Monday morning @ silly o`clock :coffee:

I know it's only got 9,000m on the clock but even so, a bit pricey for a mk1!

Picked this link up from Planet, its of interest to all those with pre 2002 MX5's

Found in a 2.5 euphonic this morning:

It`s no secret I love MK1`s ....I just couldn`t find a good one so bought a Mk2.5.
Here`s the thing, fella has just asked me to do a straight swap!
Mk1 Merlot, 2 owners 45K UK 1996. Excellent condition, no history ( got lost in the floods in Workington)
New wheels and tyres, good leather interior...

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here has installed poly bushes and if so which kind?

From looking around various forums I've gathered the following:

Flowflex - cheap, poor quality, don't last long at all.
Polybush - expensive, poor quality, not designed correctly.
Poweflex - expensive, good...

Autolink?

Mid day Sunday, and just had a e-mail to say my order had been processed (already had the confirmation of order)

Nearly got all the bits assembled for the big service.

Just a water pump and battery to go, so will have to do the drawings for another extension.... They are not the only...
