Please can someone suggest where I can buy a Fram oil filter for my 1.6l NA. I understand that they are a much superior filter than the Repco equivalent, and not as expensive as the genuine Mazda part.

Thanks

I think that the horn button is just pressed on and can be removed by careful
use of a flat blade type tool. Your wife's best steak carving knife would
probably do it.


David Moughtin

The horn button does need to come off to remove the steering wheel. When I
last had need to change the steering wheel I needed to buy a set of pullers.
They are not expensive (Super Cheap in fact) but you are welcome to borrow
mine.

I would like to add that I will be leaving from Burger King, Mount Wellington at 6am Saturday morning. The intention is to drive to Matamata for breakfast then on to Taupo. I think that there will be at least a couple of cars coming along at this stage. David Moughtin From sklauss@teamnissan.co.nz F...

Can anyone tell me where I can buy Amsoil for my gearbox. I had an idea that there was somewhere in New Lynn, Auckland?

Hey again Bill I make no claims to being informed, or having global knowledge and experience, and like as not, I am not due any credit at all. I do have a talent for finding carparks in busy areas though. I am just enjoying being part of the community that is this forum. I know what you mean about p...

Hey Bill This may sound a bit muffled, but try as I might, I cannot remove my tongue from the side of my mouth: "Bottom-line: May I suggest list you resist in being "penny-wise and pound foolish" (an expression learned from Bill Rehm's 87 yo, extremely wise father whose only experience in the UK was...

Hi Bill
I would like to meet up with you sometime too. Are you a financial member of
the Club, and do you plan to come along to any if the up-coming events?

Thank you for your help

I also have a fe cents to add here. I changed my lights a couple of years ago, as follows: I felt the same way and after a discussion with a representative from Hella, I fit new semi-sealed lights and bulbs - the existing lights were fully sealed. Below is a copy of the information from Hella: There...

I have some copies of Miata that I could rent out to you.

Out of interest, has anyone actually met this Bill character? What's he like?


Thank you for your help

Gazza suggested that there may be a problem in this area and Glenn confirmed it last weekend. A closer inspection shows that the locking nut on the throttle plate adjustment screw is missing on my car. Can anyone suggest a way to set this this up properly, once I fit the nut.

Thanks

Recently my passenger side power window stopped moving when I operated the up / down switch. I could still hear the motor humming and a quick look - after removing the inner door panel - confirmed that the one of the cables had broken ie. it was no longer under tension. The following websites have g...

Following Al's forced and unfortunate retirement an upholsterer who offers the same service took Al's mobile telephone number - 025 937 009. He has approached the Club Committee with a view to offering the same pricing to Members as Al did. I cannot recall his name, or the name of his company but I ...

When I approached AMI with a view to insuring the replacement to my standard 1989 car, I gave them a detailed list of the modifications made to the new car, by MazdaSpeed, before it was imported into New Zealand. After reading the list they only had one question, does it have a turbo-charger? To whi...

I imagine that just as with all event of this type, the organisers task is made easier by having (full) payment in as early as possible. The flyer that will be in the next Top Down has a portion that can be cut off and returned with your payment. For those who wish to take part in the day and who ar...

Let's go completely mad and say that we will leave at 6am, Saturday 20 May,
from Burger King Mount Wellington. The more the merrier. Those with turbos can
leave at 6:15am.

A flyer will be included with the next issue of Top Down, due out sometime next week I think. Cheques should be made payable to me, with lots of zeros before the decimal point. I can then deduct my huge administration fee and write another and much smaller cheque of $75 value to "MX5 Club of New Zea...

Hello John Try this: Driver Training Day Taupo 20-May-2006 Interest for this day will be high, and because of the location we are looking forward to seeing a lot members from all over the North Island and maybe even hopefully from the South Island.

Not sure. I think Richard Hammond did the NC and Jeremy Clarkson the NB - I seem to recall that he looked silly with his head high and in the wind.

However, on a different show, did he not compare all of the roadster type sports cars available in Britain (I may have the description wrong there), and judge the (NB) MX5 as by far and away the best?
