RacingMX5 comes alive

RacingMX5 is a blog dedicated to the restoration of my MK2 MX5 1.8s. I purchased AGH! back in August 2008 as a fun, weekend runabout with the intention of using it for the odd evening run into the countryside. The car as purchased seen in the picture.

Since then I have become hooked on the performance of the little 1.8 litre engine and have started to take the little racing green car a little more seriously! Up to March 2009 I have added a K + N induction kit, MX5parts Stainless exhaust system, EBC slotted disks and greenstuff pads. Manicor leads, NGK plugs and Miata strut brace were added in December. Inside, I have added a IL sports style bar. Oil in the Differential has been changed for Redline 75/90 and engine oil is now Mobil 1 5/30. Finding a second fan on Ebay, this has now been wired into the A/C slot to provide extra cooling. In January 2009 the radiator was treated to a good flush and a new cap fitted. Since August, AGH! has been running on Shell Optimax.
