What did you do to your MX5 today ?

[Steve]

heheh love those angled dials too.

Especially useful on hard left-hand corners I'd imagine.

[Ivan]

where you drunk when you put them in ash?
or was the car on a slope?

[Stig]

Fitted this

Looks well Ash........I like them.

[Richie L]

Groovy I like the flat bottom wheel

[jaybond]

Did the dif. What an easy job, feels good, just a little silver silt on the magnet no chunks yeah baby!

T-cut, waxed and polished the car like crazy at the weekend. But had to park miles away today when I got in (late) to work. Means I can't peek out the window to enjoy my had work!

[Steve]

Windows are stuck again though.. think I've sourced the problem.. the plastic guides that hold the window and run on the metal track are worn allowing too much play.

Took out the window guides (both sides) and cleaned the years of gunk out of them (lots!). Regreased, refitted ... still not great but will go up and down slowly.. time to wire the switches direct to the battery.

would you consider converting to wind up windows? or is it a lot of hassles?

[Steve]

t'would be easy enough.. but a manual passenger window is a PITA.

I've had a great day today.I lowered the front 10mm but didn't get the rear done.It's a bit of a pain in the ar-- as I have to remove the strut top motors.I'll get the rear done tomorrow.I also managed to sell a 5 today.Boy did he get a bargain.92 1600cc full years Mot,New Mohair hood,new tyres,new battery and totally original.£800

[leamyj]

Isn't it a sure sign of how things are right now. What would you have sold the same car for, say, two years ago?? a LOT more than £800 I'd imagine. However, there's not too many cars out there that can claim to be desirable after17-18 years on the road.

New set of front Discs and EBC Pads fitted, washed and waxed, new Cd player and Speakers fitted so Hells Bells sounds as it should now.

Pulled up the yellow pully thingy in the engine bay............ the goldie stuff didn't go far up the thing with the yellow pully thingy on it.....so went to the petrol station and bought more goldie stuff 10W 40 and poured it in a hole that said oil, then the thingy with the yellow pully thing on it showed I had put enough goldie stuff in the engine thingy!!
Where did all the old goldie stuff go put some in there over a year ago!

[jaybond]

I believe the technical term is goldie solution.
