(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) While undersealing the front end of the Evo I had a quick look around the suspension and brakes as I tend to do fairly regularly. I noticed one of the pads didn’t look great so I pulled it out to find it was in two pieces! They’re […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2015) Something that really needed doing was a serious clean of the interior. It was pretty grubby, especially the leather so I got to work on it. The ‘walnut’ trim on the centre console had obviously been removed some time ago but the glue had not so […]
(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) A friend wanted something fun to get him to his wedding, I was happy to oblige.
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2015) A previous owner had fitted new speakers in the front doors but not all that well. No grille and just screwed to the plastic trim so I thought I’d see if I could do anything better with them. This is what I found when I removed the […]
(First posted on MLR forum in July 2015) After doing a few more miles I still wasn’t fully happy with the engine movement. It had definitely improved with the addition of the poly bush at the front of the gearbox but I wanted it better. Again, I’m not really interested in those shiny engine torque […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2015) I think Chris Harris described the MX5 chassis as having the structural rigidity of a fish finger, or something like that. Well I could see what he means and I’m sure the wheels and suspension on mine only exaggerating the problem so I thought I’d try […]
(First posted on MLR forum in July 2015) Another little job I did because it had been bugging me for a while. Dirt collected in the fuel filler flap and the flap wasn’t quite straight as the panel gaps were’t even all round. So I took it off. much better clean and now it has […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2015) Like I said, the rear needed the same treatment as the front so out came my wire brushes, chisels etc again. Fortunately it doesn’t need too much doing though. These pics show why I bought this particular car as none of the others I saw looked […]
(First posted on MLR forum in July 2015) After spending a while tweaking the ride height and camber of the new coilovers I thought I’d check the caster to make sure everything is as it should be. The mount for the camber caster gauge is magnetic so I made some steel plates and extended wheel […]
I’d been looking out for some kind of storage to go in the back corner of the garage but nothing came up that was quite right. I had a fair bit of board left from boarding the roof space though so I figured I’d just make something. This way I could also build it around […]
