AGH! makes it to the big time!


Open up page 5 of softtop, hardtop and there is AGH! in all its glory! Looks like it took pride of place at the Elvington Rally ( I wish!!). I hope to provide a copy of the image after I have contacted the Membership Administration department on membership@mx5oc.co.uk. Anyone thinking about joining the MX5 Owners Club - my advice is 'do it now' - the magazine is the best bi-monthly you will come across and is packed with high class images and sound, independant reports.

Came across this link when browsing. It details many of the standard maintenance items I am undertaking. Also found this site run by Autolink to be of use for parts. May be worth a look?

Exhausting!





Having experienced the Evington Track day, I have decided to upgrade the exhaust system. I already have a MX5 Parts stainless back exhaust box and have just purchased a 4 port stainless exhaust manifold which should result in 'easier breathing' for the engine and should compliment the K&N induction kit. I will keep everyone updated as to the progress with regard removing the old manifold and the installation of the new - be prepared for battered hands! Anyone with advice, please contact me at sjbird@homecall.co.uk Thanks! Update - Have just recieved from ebay store 800bph 25' of blue exhaust wrap which I intend to use in place of the standard heat shield. I have also purchased 9 new nuts and a Lambda sensor from MX5 parts to am ready to install. Have decided to use SamGoodwin to install the final kit.





Have a look at this excellent clip about changing the manifold:
