I have a few bits left from an NB project: Larini NB Backbox £200 I had a Larini on my old NB and loved the sound and really wanted one for my last project. This was one of the last ones made and I got it from MX5Heaven. It came with no tailpipe so I got a twin tailpipe welded on by a local...

We dropped the diff out weeks ago but at the time we gave up on trying to get the axles out of the hubs as it wasn't important at the time. Now I need to get them out but they are fully seized into the hubs, even hitting the end of the axle where the Axle nut is with a large persuader they...

Hello lasses and lads ! My name is Arnaud, I'm new to the forum. I own a 1998 MX-5 NB in Evolution Orange Mica. I am currently doing a makeover of the interior to give it that sweet sweet 60's/70's British roadster style. I want to install a Smiths analog clock (it has a light in it as well)...

Hi guys, I've searched and read but can't seem to find some reference I'm hoping to find. I've got a 10th anniversary NB that's fully stock. Which means it has the "Hard S" Bilstein shocks. The whole car is in pretty good condition, it has around 75000 miles on it. I find the ride pretty...

Ok bare with me! So i've got a mk2.5 S-VT which i basically got given. its not the cleanest (i have welded the rear sills but it has rusty arches and a small dent in rear quarter). So basically its not worth spending alot of money on. However i want to lower it seeing as its sitting 3 foot off...

Hi Nutz! My NB '98 had engine swap 1.6 (B6MM) to 1.8 (BP4W) but previous owner does not swap ECU and loom (just en engine). I bought BP5Z ECU kit (key, immobiliser, etc) and ECU, immobiliser and new key was fit I switch key to first position and heard VICS valve switching (never before at B6MM...

So I fancy an NB....... I have filled my head with the wealth of info on here I know what issues to look out for and can't wait to experiance ownership. But I am struggling to get over the fear of buying something with bad chassis rails. Arches and sills don't trouble me as much as can be...

Doubt my old car will be recognised but I had a stupidly modified Glanza V called Jeff, he went from to and ended up stripped, a alternator fault called time I had enough of him. So enter the new motor, Elsie, a Sunlight Silver 52 plate MK2.5 SV-T Sport with 57k on the clock...

EDIT: I'm sorry, but since photobucket recently changed their terms of use, all photo links are broken. Now thats a good photo sharing site. I'm not that keen on paying the 399usd /year that they want for 3rd party sharing, so if you want to see the older (up to page 40-something) pictures, I...
