(First posted on MLR forum in February 2016) Not had much to do to the evo nowadays as it’s sort of how I want it so just generally keeping on top of maintenance and the odd bits and bobs I find. An example being this hole I noticed in one of the vacuum lines. Quick […]
(First posted on MLR forum in December 2015) I’d been spending more and more time playing with the little MX5 especially as I had lots I needed to sort before we did a short driving holiday around cornwall. So the Evo was due a bit of attention including it’s usual service bits like oil, filter […]
(First posted on MLR forum in December 2015) So winter arrived and the battery started to struggle occasionally not helped by the fact I’ve been using it less. The battery brackets looked a bit tatty so I cleaned and painted them while they were off too. Another little job… I repainted all the mesh when […]
(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) Having done the outside of the sills etc it was time to get to the bits you can’t reach. After some interwebbing and reading a very helpful long term review by Practical Classics I decided Noxudol 700 was the stuff to get. It scored highly and buying […]

(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 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 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 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 […]
