Hello, I have recently bought myself a mk2 and I am in love!! I would love to meet some people within the community in Exeter to have a laugh, talk cars and learn as much as I can! I am brand new to the community and I am really keen to learn about mods. If you fancy teaching me anything or...

Hi, Just a note to say hello. My name is Anthony, and I live in (not so) sunny Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Previously owned a MB SLK350 R171, which was a blast to drive, but far too expensive to run on a daily basis, and always was a threat to my drivers licence. The MX5 on the other hand is what...

Hello MX5 Forum, I'd not had a hobby car since 2011 (The post traumatic stress of selling my last toy is something I'm still seeing a shrink about), but finding myself in a house with a decent garage I was looking for something interesting to mess around with. A lad down the pub was telling me...

Hi all, this is my first post. I've recently taken ownership of a 2005 1.6 NB, my first MX5. I've done a bit of research and decided to get a Megasquirt before I do anything else. I'm planning to assemble it myself but need a bit of advice on which Megasquirt I need, I've read some things about...

Hi All, I bought a Euphonic last year, and as bits keep failing the advice in your forums has been great, I am in the process of replacing suspension bushes, coil-overs, brakes, Diff ( have managed to find a 3.6) and trying to defeat the rust moth's that have taken residence under the car...
