What did you do to your MX5 today ?

Good job. I find that you need heat when dealing with rust. Heat the parts up to get rid of moisture with a heat gun or even a good halogen lamp. Treat with the rust stuff and prime with zinc rich primer. Heat again before applying anything over it or the moisture will get trapped underneath, draw salts from the air/road and start all over again but this time you wont see it.

Bought and fitted a hardtop, a style bar and a pair of BOSE speakers. I love bank holidays. Thanks to Robert Autocheck for being open today.

The guy selling the hardtop threw them in with it for free - happy times!

Are they rare? I'd have thought Autocheck would come across them from time to time.

Nice one Andrew..love the sound of the supercharger, was there myself on Monday as a passenger , we had to bail out before the end of the morning session with a collapsed wheel bearing..fair dues to Mondello though, they refunded the afternoon session's value to us!!

Wait, is that an nsx in front of you?

by **andrew** » Thu, 31 Oct 2013 5:33 +0000

Yep, sure is. It was dropping me on the straights but i had it in the corners. I was even backing off into and out of the corners.

Nice one John, Hope you had as much fun as me on Monday.
