    need advice if possible?

    So my mk1 mx5 has an aftermarket immobiliser installed by the previous owner, i found the brain box of it, but the whole thing is very, very tempromental. Sometimes it disarms first press, others i could be sat there for a good 5 minutes, so it has to go. My question is though, how do i go...

    Hydro handbrake.

    Hey guys, so I've finally bought an mx5 and been tinkering with it, done all the normal stuff, cambelt/waterpump, plugs and general service with new discs and pads all round. But the handbrake is shocking. Now I know mot requires a normal handbrake to be fitted, so i was thinking of doing a dual...

    Polishing the ports?

    Loads of ideas, and thats pretty much where it ends haha! I would love an s14/15, or skyline. But realistically, ill prolly end up with a 1994 suzuki swift!

    Home made exterier mods?

    Thats what im worried about yugguy. But im willing to give anything a bash atleast once! And yea, the matching would be the issue too. But even if i attempt and screw it up completely, I found a us site that supplies alot of very nice body mods, so least i know that money can fix it lol.

    Home made exterier mods?

    Well sure, I could go and google pretty much every bit of information I'm after. Was just simply trying to engage with the forum members first. Have a chat, have a laugh with people like minded, rather than spend however long bored by myself reading Wikipedia entries. Appologies.

    Home made exterier mods?

    Don't think so, i believe the guys name was Rod godwin, something along them lines lol. But will look at Ronin 211! :D Haha, no. Wasnt Ronin! I was looking at a more realistic build for my budget :P

    Home made exterier mods?

    I was looking at pictures and specs of mx5s to get some more ideas for my build (when i get round to starting the damned thing). And alot of them have hand made parts, like conards, splitters, flared arches etc. My question is... How do they make them? I guess one way would be make a template of...

    exhaust scrapping on ground noise?

    checked your pads? Granted it doesn't make a rattle noise, but thin pads can make a horrible noise. if you have drums on the rear, maybe one of the retaining springs/washers has fallen off the pin that holds the shoes in place? Had a customer come in saying he has a rattle noise, couldnt find...

    Theres a guy i see most days on the way home from work. One day he has his 458 on the driveway, the next day its his ariel atom. Then his Caterham 500, then his GTR And the list goes on and on. But he is a really nice guy, bit dubious at first when you speak to him (and rightly so, when a young...

    Polishing the ports?

    So i was toying with the idea of stripping my rx7 lump down and polishing all the ports, (well the exhaust ones). But i was just wondering if it is actually worth it? I know there isn't much to taking the rotary lump apart, but has anyone got any experience in doing this? And am I correct in...

    Young newbie wanting to drift

    People saying drifting isn't a sport, The cars are slow etc. Have you actually looked into the pro drift cars specs... For example, Mad Mikes RX7, or the MX5 he is currently building. I'd love to see most cars stay with either one of them master pieces. Granted, the car park warriors with the...

    mx-5 or GTO...

    Ahah! Love it! Although I think every car is like that to be honest. The price of some of the parts is silly nowadays! Or I'm just tight :P

    mx-5 or GTO...

    Aye, can't say I've any round where I live. I havn't worked on one before or know if they are prone to anything (like the rear arches on mx5's). Think I'll do some research on the matter :). Thanks buddy!

    mx-5 or GTO...

    So my idea was to save some money, buy a beat up mx5, fix her up and strap a supercharger on her, would roughly cost 5 grand as I can do all the bodywork/ engine repairs myself saving some money. How ever, I've just remembered about the mitsi GTO twin turbo monsters. Found quite afew for a...
