It sounds like one of the top hats has been changed at some time. With my current NA, the thickness of a brace would result in the nuts only just reaching the top of the threads, whereas on my old NA, which did have a brace fitted for a short while until I realised it wasn't doing anything, there wa...

In support of marcellarius' comments. Some years ago Donovan measured the corner weights of his NA before putting in the V8. The results were LF 240kg, RF 264 kg, LR 240=1kg, RR 240 kg. The OEM front spring rates are 163lb/in (manual transmission), so the 24kg right to left weight difference will ma...

Trailer
Does anyone have a trailer suitable for an MX5 (or a Formula Ford) that they are not using over the weekend of 8-11 January 2016?
We want to take two cars to the Tasman Revival meeting in Taupo, but only have one trailer at the moment.
Compensation to be negotiated.

Radiator Hose Supplier
If you ever need a hose for a non-standard cooling system, contact Hancock Industrial Ltd. Amazing service. I needed a hose to connect my coolant re-route pipe, which comes down the exhaust side of the engine, with a Civic race radiator. I emailed them a photo, together with some relevant dimensions...

Tein S Tech Springs
Has anyone got any experience with Tein S Tech springs on an NA? The US forums consider them c**p, mainly because the car apparently hits the bump stops all the time. I must admit, from the photos I have seen of the springs in the unloaded state, they do look a lot shorter for not much increase in s...

Hi Loki Welcome to the world of MX5s. I have been racing MX5s for the last 12 years. Originally a turbo 1600 and now a normally aspirated 1800. The first question you need to ask yourself before getting stuck into modding your car is "what class am I going to race in?", as different classes allow/re...

BP Engine Valve Locks/Keepers
Has anyone out there got an early (94 or 95) BP cylinder head that is stripped down that could do some measurements for me? I have just got some Cat Cams parts (cams, valve springs and retainers) for my new BP4W race engine. However, the valve retainers they have supplied do not suit the OEM valve l...
