MX5 – ATE TYP200 Brake Fluid
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) The evo was long overdue a full brake fluid change so I thought i’d do the mazda while i was at it. It’s one of those jobs that often gets overlooked so I expect it was over due too. What came out was pretty yuk Couple […]
MX5 – Falken ZE914 Tyres All Round
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in January 2016) Jem and I planned a holiday around Cornwall for the beginning of October but had to postpone it until December.

MX5 – Engine Torque Damper
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in January 2016) The Evo was suffering a bit of excess engine movement so I started looking into the options on how to deal with it. I was trying to avoid replacing all the engine mounts and thought I’d try a torque damper. Then I learned that almost all […]
MX5 – Paint Correction
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in January 2016) Time for some paint correction. The paint has quite a few little untidy areas which let the car down a bit on close inspection so I have done little bits here and there to try and improve it. The paint is a bit out of the […]

MX5 – DIY Wheel Refurb and Colour Change
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in December 2015) The wheels really needed a refurb. A previous owner had just gone over them with a spray can of black which I guess was a quick and cheap way to make them look a bit better. They clearly hadn’t been prep’d as the paint was starting […]
MX5 – MOT Time, Ball Joint Boots and Aux Belts
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in Oct 2015) Nothing majorly exciting but still worth keeping a record. It was due an MOT so I gave it a pre MOT check. I haven’t had a car fail an MOT in a very long time and I didn’t intend to let the mx5 spoil that! Found […]
MX5 – Gearbox, Turret and Diff Oils
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in July 2015) Got myself all the oils for the gearbox, turret and diff. The cost of all the oils for the MX5 is a third of the cost of doing all the Evo oils! This Mazda gets more and more appealing. Turret first. Got a new boot […]
