Where abouts in the country are you?
Assuming you are near durham going off the location of the RB you will be close to dtm cars, worth a look to see if they have anything in that takes your fancy :)
Did you use spring compresors when swapping topmounts? I'm about to go through the same process and I'm sure I've read somewhere they aren't needed on the sports but I thought I would ask.
On a side note it's good to see another frome chap on here, I'm originally from Frome myself and I'm...
I'm over on nutz yes but very rarely post anything, I like to have a good read though.

That's mine but it sits quite a lot higher now.
Brilliant! I assume the 89 is your year of birth? if so you'll be a year older than me so chances are we have probably have crossed paths at some point, everyone around here seems to have haha.
Whack a couple of pictures up of your mx5 too, there's a lot of love for them on here :)
Not much of it to be honest, just parts of the shell, it's all spaceframed but "LS2 engined spaceframe with little bits of manta" didn't work too well as a title haha
Hi all.
Thought I would post a quick thread about a friends project that I found out about this morning as I have a feeling it will appeal to a few of you.
A direct quote of the spec:
And some power to weight figures compared to his Porsche 911.
And a couple of pictures and 2 videos...
I've had 2 1.6's as well.
In my opinion they are a nice 'inbetween' car if you want to step up to a sport one day, I also enjoyed driving mine and can't remember having any major problems, you'll probably find there are quite a few on here who have owned them.
I headed up to clio turbo (now based in durham) for my belts, if you don't mind a trip out then Andy is well worth a call.
We also have birchdown who are cheshire way who also have a good rep.
As Anthony said pop down and ask if they have the correct tools, any mention of the word tippex...run...
It's standard height as far as Im aware buddy, it just had me and my neighbour in it who between us have quite a high combined weight so probably get it sitting nice!
Saw a blue cup on morrisons roundabout in cleveleys about 5 pm yesterday? I didn't recognise it.
Also a BG182 with gold stickers on it at halfords Blackpool at about 6pm (an hour from cleveleys to squires gate..wasn't happy).
And then saw some chap in an inferno on the way home too, oh hey...
I got called in to work unfortunatley, I got home about an hour ago, good to see progress on the 'mx5' though, if I can still call it that.
Was it a good turnout today?
