Fitting Towbar

I have seen similar racks here. A neighbour in the Hutt used to have one on his MR2. It was a clip on that fitted to the edge of the boot lid.

1.6 versus 1.8 (moving to crankshaft issue)

If you ask them nicely and they are not too busy, your local Mazda dealer should be able to pull up your VIN on his computer and give you the actual production date along with most of the basic details of how your car left the factory. Might pay to be buying something at the time you ask though. Che...

Sway bar sizes...

Hi Gazza My suspension is all over the garage floor so I didn't have to crawl under the car. It is out of a 96 1800 ex Japan. Front is 19.2 and the rear 11.4, both measured on the straight. If you wanted to have a look, I am in Birkenhead. Drop me a note off line or call me on 021409115. Regards Euen

Was browsing the Koni website last week and discovered that they do a screw
adjustable kit for the MX5. Lowering approx 40mm.

Simon, you got it. For those who haven't seen it, check out http://www.sportscars.net.nz/

I am currently planning a project car based on MX5 mechanicals and have a query regarding the engines used with automatic transmissions.

Headlight Question

When you increase the wattage of your lights, you increase the current drawn through the wiring. Like your lights, the wiring also has a resistance and the increase in current through the wiring and switch contacts can cause a proportionate drop in the voltage reaching the lights. This can result in...

Thanks Jeff, do you remember who the outfit was.

Re comment earlier about getting 180rwhp from yours. Obviously a bit more
than a cold air intake and trick exhaust. Can you tell us what you've done

Lots of other nice looking performance bits in their catalogue as well.
