ADL can supply them as well. Not sure about the repco kits, but the ADL kits come with grease, replacement circlip, boots and a new hub nut. Only slight issue is that the hub nut on the ADL kits is 32mm and the original Mazda one is only 29mm. If you are going to do them yourself you will need a to...

Where to rebuild outer CV joints or buy new? 89 NA6

Merry Christmas good folks, hope you all had a good one.

Does anyone know a good place to get replacements for my outer CV joints? or to get my ones rebuilt?

I've asked a few places, and no one has replied me so far. Thought I'd quickly ask on here before I call around.

Thanks :)

Oh yea I get it now. I tried having both speakers in passenger seat hooked up to left-rear speaker, and both drivers speakers hooked up to right-rear. But it didn't sound good, was unbalanced cause the speaker was so close to your head. So just went back to passenger with left + right rear, drivers ...

I thought each seat/headrest has it's own left and right speakers? At least that's how mine's configured. Would be more balanced I'd imagine.

Debadging an NA6

Hi folks, I'm thinking about taking off the eunos badge from the front bumper, and the "mazda" and "mx5" stickers from the rear. Is it a relatively clean process? Are there any holes or problems with paint coming off if I use a fishing line and heat gun? I've seen a few pics of cars with no badges, ...

Do you mind sharing where you got the brake lines from? That's a great price, I'd like some for when I get knuckles later.

My BC's are near new (less than 5000kms). I would've thought the top hats would be alright?

Rear clunking... are my outer CV joints stuffed?

Hi MX5 gurus and wonderful people. I have a clunk-clunk-clunk noise when I'm in gear and turn a corner. It's more noticeable while cold. I jacked up the rear and put it in gear, and turned the wheel by hand forwards and backwards to see how much play there was (to be honest, I don't know how much is...

BC gold top hat replacement options?

Hi everyone,

What are the local options for changing the top hats on my BC golds so I can lower the car a little bit more?

Nick with the white NA6 told me of another way to lower the BCs more that doesn't involve swapping top hats, but haven't really looked into that option more.

Cheers :)
