Re: NEC Classic and restoration show 2024....

You looked like you were having too much fun bossman.
Next year I'm going to hover over you and try and learn some more tricks of the trade.
Jokes aside, thanks to all who took pics and shared them.

Re: my first shot at an NA

They seemed to have been deleted. Not sure where they went or how to get them back but I'll try and edit the posts and inserting the pics from my archives (if I still have them)

Re: my first shot at an NA

I used my 5 in March 2024 for a month as I sold my daily but I found I need to put new seals in my gearbox as well as a new bearing. So for now she's parked up at mums place in London. In 2025 she's off to visit the mazda mender himself for a few well overdue bits and bobs as well as a a general hea...

Re: my first shot at an NA

Been a while (as always) but the 5 was up and running till i had to sorn her again (unable to drive it in winter). I've now moved her to another location and she has a fresh battery too and will be out and about in 2023. I've been super busy lately with a new job and building a mk4 golf gti for my e...

Re: my first shot at an NA

Still sitting in a garage in Buckinghamshire since 2019 but my son has stepped up and will be helping to get her back up and running soon. Soon as life gets back on track (and when I get back to the UK) she will be off to the mender man himself for a full health check and some little toys to FINALLY...

Re: non runner

Deep breath. Wooosaaaa!! So no spark or fuel. No codes as well. This points to the immobilizer setup. As mentioned by M-m, apart from Rob (mx5bitz) there don't seem to be any other options. As for emulators, they just fool the system into getting the required signals to get things to working order. ...

Re: my first shot at an NA

Can't catch a break! On the way home as i braked to turn in to my house my BBS centre cap came off, bounced, went flying past me, hit the island/crossing and scattered into its components. Parked the car and ran back to see what was left.... found all 3 bits and reassembled it but its mangled and cl...
