Re: Ride Height Standard MK1.

Ride Height Standard MK1.
Might be a stupid question and the answer might be staring me in the face.
Can any of the super boffins tell me of the standard ride height for a mk1 1.6.
From wherl centre to the wheel arch front and back.
I'll explain the reason for the question later.

Re: MX5 NB 1.8 vts sport cranks but won't start.
Our now departed 2003 1.8 sport had a remote key fob (plus a spare) for keyless entry and the alarm. Just wondering if it was an extra or standard on ours and if the 2004 would have the same. If its a standard fitting could it be an inobilser issue.

That MX Tech diagnostic is a must have for all early 5s with OBD1. Saves so much messing about and good to do a test once in a while to make sure alls ok.

Re: Mazda mx5 mk2.5 - 1.8 S-VT
As for being too low for your trolley Jack. I had the same issue with my standard trolley Jack's so bought two low entry ones. They slide under easily now.
As Wayne says looks like your just in time to save yourself some serious body correction work.
