    My 1.8 MK3.5 NC has been rattling on cold starts for the last year and 14k miles, i've had the timing chain replaced and it didn't resolve the issue and i don't think it's likely that it's rod knock if it's been happening for this long. I'm at an absolute loss and no garage or specalist i've...

    As title says, I need someone proficient with the ME442 software and if possible to look at some data logs. NB turbo Miata, starts and idles perfectly fine, but when given some gas, it instantly dies. I want to see if altering the AFR map will help it, but any advice from you guys?

    Hi all I'm new to all this and this is my first post here. I've currently got an 04 MX5 (NBFL) with a 1.6 engine. I've done the basic stuff so far to it; intake, exhaust, wheels. I will be getting new tyres, coilovers and will be putting a roll bar in for track days soon as well. I have read...

    Hello, Last week I posted about a leak which is believed to be from the CAS seal which I will be getting repaired next week hopefully. Whilst checking underneath the car yesterday, I noticed another leak at the front right side next to the Alternator and Accessory Belts. It is another slow...

    Hello! I have an oil leak at the back of the engine (Eunos, mk1), there has been a patch of oil there for some time around the pipes at the back (a few years) but now but it seems worse than ever although that could just be because it has collected over time I guess. I don't believe it is a...

    Hi All, Long story short - I'm getting P0328 Knock Sensor fault codes but the Knock Sensor appears to be ok with 4.87/4.88 megaohms measured across both pins (A and B ) although i have spotted a bit of dodgy wiring on the ECU around pin 2X (Ground; Shield Wire) and both Knock Sensor and Front...

    Hello fellow Mx5 enthusiasts! My 2006 2.0 is burning around 800ml of oil(mobil1 5w30 fully syn) every 1k miles. I am not particularly bothered by having to top up every once in a while but i was worried about the condition of the engine. So I took it for a dry compression test, below are the...

    I was driving my mk3 mx5 out with another friend and we stopped at some lights after driving under 3k rpm for about 3/4 minutes. The immature side of me came out and we raced from the lights - I shifted at about 5k rpm on 1st and 2nd gear. Will this have caused any substantial wear or issues...

    The middle pipe from my charcoal canister (I believe that one is the breather) appears to be dangling loose. Can anyone explain, or better still show me, where it plugs in? Cheers, Chris

    Hi everyone, Since my Mk1 was originally a 1.6 (Import too), and I've swapped the engine out to a 1.8, will this make a massive difference to insurance? Or can I register it as a 1.8 through the DVLA, and then when insuring it, it will just be classed as a 1.8, and not a 1.6 changed to a 1.8...
