Nice interior.:cool:

The engine in the five already has very low compression, and the internals can easily cope with extra power. For specialist advice from people that are mad about fives, join the forums on MX5Nutz. The Mk1 Mx5 engine is based on the 323f BP engine, in fact Mazda did a special edition MX5 the BBR...

It depends what sort of power you are looking for. I personally wouldn't bother, the engines in these car are pretty much bullet proof. I know plenty of people that are running 15psi boost on stock internals. BTW - If its because your getting a tapping on start up, It'l more than likely be the...

Any Pictures of the interior?

I didn't believe it was sinister or that there was a subversive agenda.:blink: Its just that every car forum I have ever been on, when people introduce themselves they also post pictures of their car.

I know I am a noob, and I don't mean to start anything, but why cant you post pictures of your pride and joy until you have 10 post under your belt? It seems rather an odd rule to have.:-?

Hi mate, I was considering an FTO, have you got any pictures?

Whats up with your cams?

Thanks.8-)

My car is a supercharged Mazda MX5, I use an air/water intercooler that has a small rad to cool the water down that passes through the jacket surrounding the intake pipe. I have pictures of my engine bay in the meet and greet section that kind of shows my set up. The Seicento rad is a larger...

I'm looking at using a radiator from a Fiat Seciento as a radiator for my Air/Water intercooler as my current radiator seems a bit small. Can anyone tell me what size hose they use?

I've used a lot of different waxes and have found that Collonite 476 seems to be the one that lasts the longest, but it doesn't seem to make the paintwork gleam like some other waxes, so I normally use it as a winter wax for protection. After a good paint clean my favourite summer wax is P21s.:love:

If the kit is fitted correctly and the car tuned properly, reliability should not be an issue. I have supercharged Mk1 and am making 8psi with extra mods, I have had a couple of minor issues, but nothing major. There are plenty of other MX5 owners who have fitted turbos or superchargers and...

Thanks for the replies and kind comments.:D My car is still a work in progress, and I have no idea what kind of power I am making at the moment as I've not had it on a rolling road. I know its probably no where near as powerful as some of the cars on here.:embarrest: I tune by taking it for...
