There was a debate on FB mazdamenders M-5 tech help on the Premium high octane fuels and if you could feel a difference, mainly in a standard set up roadster ....wow it was like a long running post on the clubs board with a lot of prove him wrong from myself using it and feeling a difference to the...

The purpose of this post is to engender some good discussion, ideas and debate. There is likely to be no one right answer, just personal experience and taste.

I'm guessing we all are here because we enjoy the drivability, reliability, cost of ownership and maintainability of MX5's, and because we...

Well who's laid their MX5 up for winter?

Mine found it's way into the garage 4 weeks ago.....it wasn't intentional, the weather and circumstances dictated and it just hasn't been out since, as i have another car for daily use and a works van that i can easily do 300 miles a day in the MX5 is an...

As well as wanting to purchase and fit a 4 branch stainless manifold, to purchase and fit a good set of coil overs, I have a desire to have the interior smartend and brightend up.

Looking at having my original mk1 seats recovered in leather and door cards to match.

Any recommendations for...

Everyone seems to be going down the turbo route these days, and bhp per pound this is clearly the most cost effective way to increase power.

I like the idea of keeping my car naturally aspirated, and building on the already revvy nature of the car and I'm quite interested by a GSXR throttle body...

My wifes Mk1 requires a few bits & pieces, primarily a rocker cover gasket an clutch master cylinder. The price difference between genuine Mazda parts and pattern parts is significant.

What is the general consensus on the quality of pattern parts vs. OEM?

Good people

Finally got some cash and a new job! So need replacement shocks for the NB Nevada. After a lot of thought I have decided to go back to my first love "Bilstein". I have a long relationship with this brand when rallying Fords. Anyway the car takes a fair bashing doing the Targa...

Hello all.
I’ve trawled the net & forums but not managed to get the information...

I’ve a 1992 / J-registration (2000 year import) NA Eunos 1600, boredom & general interest means I’m wondering when it was built & what the factory spec was :think:

I’ve found a few online vin-decoders...

Replacement panels!

I have a rusty Mk1 on its way and I know I will need sill and chassis repairs. We managed to make up repair plates for the NB but good fitting panels will always be easier.
Can I have some recommendations for sills, arches and chassis plates please?

Greetings fellow 5ers........Only joined the Forum a few weeks ago and posted my first hello message....In that message I mentioned that I was having the Tan seats out of my Mk1 Eunos renovated....well quite rightly I was told that my post is 'useless without photos' so with a bit of luck here they...

Now that Photobucket have, it appears, ruined a lot of websites as far as our/ your pictures go, can anyone recommend another free site for posting images without it being too complicated. From what I have seen on quite a few sites it appears that a lot of people are having the same problem as I am...

Hi all,
A few things planned for my MK2.
-Ally rad got..need to fit.
-HID kit to buy , thanks to M-m for recommendation on type.

OK now for bits I need advice on :-
- car been stored outside a month and just noticed it's front o/s caliper sticking again. Last year I cleaned up the old unit and...

Wondering if his kits are still available ? Anyone know .

Thanks :handgestures-thumbup:

A lot of owners need or want to use a Hard top for winter but don't have the storage space afterwards,

I was thinking about hiring them out over winter for those owners at a fixed monthly cost and a deposit to cover the HT which will be returned at the end of hire.

It would cover a new HT...

I have just purchased an item on ebay measuring 495 x 390 x 195. weight is approx just under 5 kilos from a seller in TQ4 Paignton, Devon.

Is there a Mender that would be willing to collect the package on my behalf and deliver to the Mazda Menders stand at the MX5 Owners Club Rally at Gaydon on...

I've noticed space saver tyres can now be purchased for mark 3 and 3.5 models . It's a great improvement on that pathetic aerosol idea. However, the overall wheel and tyre diameter must be just over 24inches and having checked my boot size it seems to me to be a very tight squeeze to get one in....
