I'd like to know too. Anyone local can do it for me? What's the benefit?

Ive just had my roof done at Alltrim in Glenfield. He also does seat retrimming etc. Give Tim a call, tell him Dale from the MX5 forum put you on to him.

very nice. where did you get the bulb from? The chrome amber build was from Supercheap, the pins where slightly off-set so just filed one off to make it fit the plug. LED Sidelights were also from there. Yo can buy cheaper from the net, but it was one of those couldn't wait things i wanted to do. L...

Today was spent taking the front lights apart to remove the orange indicator lens. I replaced the bulbs with chrome/orange and the park lights with 9-led's which are much brighter. Before and after photos!! A job well done, i used the misses hairdryer to warm the sealant then gently prized them apar...

buggered for this week and next, and it was even my suggestion

Mazda changed oil guage sender in 93 or 94. A 1.8 model has no proper guage unless someone replaced the sender. An older model does constant change over the rev through 2-6 depends on the oil temp and condition of oil. some 1.8s do have a proper gauge, mine is one of them as it does change across t...

Keen as, Fridays pretty busy up to Christmas with parties and all that, but I'm sure we can work something around?

Rear roof section being replaced today, I'll let you know how it goes when I picker her up later. Oh and the car has now been nicknamed AJ !! Don't aske me, ask the wife

Are you sure you have a proper oil pressure sender or do you just have the switch. The early NAs had a proper guage and sender however, at some stage, in thier wisdom, Mazda changed the sender to a switch so the guage was just reading an on/off signal. This could explain what you saw on the guage i...

We want pics! A good stereo is essential to the enjoyment of any car IMO, sounds like you have a damn good setup. Having the new rear panel of the roof fitted tomorrow, fitted new number plates today as the front looks like it was trashed with a few tow bar reversing/parking incidents. Does any one...

found out from reading the USA forum that the wheels on my motor are the BBS 14" rims that are lightweight. There are in good nic with centre caps and removal spanner. I read the centre caps alone are worth a fair bit.

Nice wheels, may have to get them refurbed.

Think I'm going to go down the carbon wrap route, can get a film for $115 and looks easy to apply. And if I come to sell it, can be just peeled off and removed.

Any one tried?

mighty fine looking!!

Simjen, if you made a few bolt in ones similar to the browns davis design for under $500 I would be keen as mustard and I'm sure one or two others here would be as well. Was talking to Darryl (R3SPCT) about doing something but we'd have to buy a pipe bender to get it underway so you're already a st...

Bit of an intro, recently, well two weeks ago I brought a Eunos 1.8 v-special I think, it's Laguna blue and has some fancy yellow shocks, engine brace and a black hard tops well. Bodywork needs some tlc but not bad for a car of its age. So far, the door spring broke, luckily I already had the door c...

Anyone know anyone who is any good at respray work in Auckland, looking for a good quote to repaint the hardtop, either gloss black or Matt black look. Some of the panel beaters want in excess of a $1000 which seams very steep indeed.

Some NA's also have 2 4" speakers in the headrest with a 6" in the middle of the back of the seat.tend to be 94> model. My set is like this, car has a premium sound system from pioneer when new that has a separate small cross over box. Even the front door speakers have separate high level tweeters ...
