MX5 – Exhaust Shield and Compression Test

(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in May 2015)

The air filter was getting very hot so I quickly made a heat shield.  Doesn’t get anywhere near as warm now. :)

Bit of CAD to start with.

I always do a compression test as a record in case of any future problems. Pictures for my records really.
