  1. How do I...
    Hi guys, Done some googling and trawling of the forum but couldn't find a cohesive answer. My cooling system (1999 mk2 1.8) is looking pretty tired, and I'm trying to avoid the temptation to spend all my money on modification before I've got the mechanicals sorted, what would be a shopping...

    Hey! I'm replacing the coolant tank(and thermostat) on my NC (08) as the tank decided to explode the fluid all around the engine bay! Find a new tank was a pain in the a*se to start with so i've opted for an aluminum one: https://fab9tuning.com/moroso-coolant-overflow-expansion-tank-nc-06-15/...

    Hi guys, I have been trying to wire up a toggle switch to the radiator fan so I can manually operate the fan (for track days etc) and I've had no luck. I put two wires to the two cooling fan fuses and it powered up, but the switch wouldn't cut the circuit and turn it off. I also wired up the...

    Hi there, I recently bought an Eunos Roadster NA 1.8 and its got an overheating issue. - The coolant system/heater core has been flushed out multiple times until the water runs clear - The waterpump was replaced 8000km ago and i have checked to confirm it was actually replaced - I bought a...

    I'm looking at rebuilding an mx5 I bought recently and I'm starting with the mechanical side of things, I'm looking to turbo it in the future so would like all the internals to be able to withstand the power. The thermostat housing is rusty and looks like it could do with replacing so I'm...

    Hey everyone, hope you can help. I have a Mk1 with a hybrid engine built from the block of a Mk2.5 and the head of a Mk2. Since being built it has run fine, except when it goes on track it gets hot. After a track session there will be some coolant missing from the radiator, typically the header...

    Hi all, I'm after a decent steel radiator cover for my mk2 (the sort that stops air escaping in front of the rad) and I can't find anything suitable. It looks like the Moss ones are too short and only cover the very front portion, so won't help with cooling. While there are a few decent ones...

    Hi everyone A couple of weeks ago Maggy the 5th (my beloved fifth and hopefully final MX-5, a 1994 1.6 BBR turbo) overheated. Having been through the overheating cycle with her or the previous 'Maggies' before her, I knew it could be: 1) Dodgy radiator cap 2) No water in the rad/leaking rad...

    Got stranded on the side of the highway this morning on my mk2 1.6. Car had a strange misting on the windscreen yesterday afternoon, and while it seemed a bit excessive it was raining pretty hard, so I carried on. Today the misting continued, and after 6km POOF, smoke from the engine bay so...

    Hi everyone, I'm not entirely sure I'm posting in the correct part of the forum (forgive me if so) but I'm in need of a new soft top for my Mk1, does anyone know where I can get one? Is it something that someone with basic skills could do? I am also after a new radiator. Is it better to go...

    Hey everyone, Having a slight issue with my cooling system following the installation of a new alloy rad and silicone cooling hoses. Cooling fan won't come on and I've let the car idle waiting for it to switch on only to have steam start coming out of the rad (I assume this is the car starting...

    Hi all, Looking to replace my AC condenser, seems to be absent from most online sources I looked at. Any tips where to find a replacement? Mine looks like this one. I.L. Motorsports have some here, but neither looks remotely like above and the prices are less than agreeable... I imagine that...

    Hi guys, can you help me?! I've just replaced my radiator cooling fan and the fan sensor on the top of the waterpump at the weekend on my '92 Eunos as it wasn't working before. Today after coming home from work on this nice day 17 degrees outside(A journey of 8.3 miles) I popped the bonnet and...

    I've got a MK1 1.6 turbo lump in my kit car running a 'open reverse cooling system' with no thermostat, polo extreme alloy rad and aftermarket programmable ECU. I didn't build the car but the guy that did assures me this is the best way to route the cooling to ensure flow round the whole engine...

    So in my tired hungover state this morning my subconscious decided the top of the engine under tray and not the bottom was the correct position for jacking and before I realised what I was doing the radiator drain plug was taking some of the weight of the car (TWAT) Anywho, time for a new...
  17. Wanted
    I have a 1.8 import mk1 and need the coolant hose from the radiator to the thermostat housing. Don't mind if it's standard/aftermarket, I'd even consider new if they are priced OK. Price posted ASAP please.

    Hey all, recently got my MK1 Eunos back on the road after 9 months! yayyyyyy I'm having problems with my radiator fan not spinning! (which i assume is the reason for the car getting hot). the car doesn't always get hot. somedays it's fine, some other days it's over the H point on the temp...

    Afternoon. So I thought I would split this part off of an existing thread of mine as I get the feeling I'm having two separate problems running side by side and don't wish for one to get lost. For the full back story: http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=140678 To condense...
