MX-5 Owners Club World Record Attempt - Spring Rally 2019
This isn’t a How to Guide is it. Where’s the actual footage that isn’t a time lapse? Maybe change the video name?
Minor correction concerning the oil grade. W doesn't stand for "weight" it stands for "Winter" indicating the oil viscosity at 0 degrees c. The second number is the viscosity at 100 degrees c.
I didn't know you had a channel... Great! Gonna come in handy... Need to do some resto on my Mk2. 5 near front jacking point (thankfully front inner chassis rails taken care of ) at the floor pan near pinch weld. Be really great I'd you can show some simple Welding and panel application/ Wong removal
Thanks for this, a few points to add: - If the oil filter is more than hand tight, it is usually because it has been fitted with an oil filter box spanner. This is usually a sign of the previous service being carried out by a garage as they have all the tools and an attitude that "customers don't complain about bolts that are slightly too tight". 68mm across flats and 14 flats/flutes is the spec. for an NB, and they available at good motor accessory stores or on-line. You will also need a 3/8 inch ratchet and socket extension. The benefit of using a filter spanner is that you can fit the new filter into the spanner, with perhaps a bit of paper masking tape to wedge it in. The ratchet extension then can act as a holder to help install the new filter. After the filter has been fitted a bit of wiggling of the extension will release the box spanner from the filter. - If the filter has been done up more than finger tight, then there is a good chance the sump plug has been well tightened and then you do need a new sump plug washer because the old one will have been crushed beyond springback and may not seal. - On models with the VICS Variable Intake system, the inlet manifold has an additional support bracket and nice sharp edged bracket on the front longitudinal for some carbon canister pipework - both of those restrict access. Then the method from underneath past the steering column can make life easier but also it is possible to feed the filter in from underneath the alternator and look down into the gap between the alternator and the block to guide the fillter onto the filter housing thread.
I bought many parts from MX5 and was pleased with all of them except the pattern oil filter supplied by them. When I put it on the car oil poured out all over the drive. The oil seal on the pattern filter failed straight away as it had some grooves in as though the rubber was not shaped correctly. I did not see this when visually inspecting it only after it was fitted did a fine spray of oil come out from underneath. Never had a problem with the genuine filters. I would say be aware of the pattern stuff or check very careful before you put any on the car.
What about a new sump plug washer?
What descaled did you use before you drained the car. How long do you need to leave it in there
What was the cleaner mixture you added in a few days before you changed this coolant
Lots of talk little action 5 minutes + in b4 anything is done
NEVER EVER trust a guy in a video who talks about car covers and then drags the car cover all over the ground while putting it on the car. That is the dead wrong way to put a car cover on a car. Watch how this guy puts the cover on the car and then make sure you do the exact opposite. Car covers should be rolled out OVER THE TOP OF THE CAR WITH NO PART OF THE CAR COVER EVER TOUCHING THE GROUND. Follow this guy's video and then wonder why your paint has swirl marks everywhere? It's because he dragged the cover all over the ground and then got dirt particles in it which damaged the paint on the car. Expect him to return and say he's been using a car cover for years and his paint is fine. Doubtful. You NEVER drag a car cover on the ground. NEVER. You only put a car cover on a DRY, freshly washed car. He puts a cover on a wet car. Basically he does nothing right in this video.
Not sure if you reply to these but I saw in a review for the clear rear lights someone said you need to buy a new amber indicator bulb for road legal amber coloured indicators. Is this the case?
This is perfect for my MX5 - browsed through the shop and got some things in the basket. Ready to get my video's going!
Is there a link to these lights please?
Does the rack fit inside the trunk or inside the car? To put it safe when parking.
Brilliant video! So many other videos on the Tube make this task look difficult, but your clearly expressed step-by-step guide is exactly what is needed. 1989 G-Reg NA used as a daily runner, and still going strong! (Handbrake still a bummer, though, for every MOT!).
Have you tried replacing the hand brake cables? - they stretch!
@@johnsheppard7935 Hi John, thanks for reply. Myself and son, until very recently, owned three early MX-5s between us, but now down to one, which is my daily runner (1989). It just won’t die! All three had the same poor bummer handbrake, which I am told is the only weak spot of the NA MX-5 - like it or lump it! Our excellent mechanic just readjusts it at each MOT!
Hi Iain - thanks for your note, I experienced the same issue with the hand brake on my 89 Eunos having to readjust every MOT - replacing the cables that run in the transmission tunnel fixed the issue once and for all - just my experience of these cars.@@iainmeteorscan1555
Sobering but oddly comforting. Thanks for the reality check and inspiration all in one video. Good to see there are others who have persisted in keeping old MX5s on the road.
Guys, the content's great! But please do not use the "stabilizer" on the camera, it ends up looking super shaky and hard to focus and watch properly
So, how much did it cost ?
Even if I were willing to admit it to myself (I'm not!) to be honest it's probably not much use anyway, given every car and job will be different so it's very hard to accurately predict the final bill for things like this. Hence my point about striking up a relationship with the bodyshop doing the work so you can have a realistic and ongoing dialogue about how much it's likely to cost at the outset, and how that might change based on what is discovered when the work starts. Don't expect it to be less than four figures, mind. Sorry if that sound evasive but it's a case by case thing anyway. Cheers! /Dan
Please turn the volume up!
How much does it cost assuming they don't find nasties under the panel?
Blog with more details to follow on the MX5 Parts homepage but, suffice to say, expect to be paying a four-figure sum. One of the obvious problems is you don't actually know what you're in for until you've committed to it, so best approach is to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best! /DT
i have a mark 3 mx5 which could do wiyh a deck panel repaint any idea who would do this for me regards john
Depends where you are in the country but if you're anywhere near Deepcar in Sheffield where we had this work done I can recommend their services and they know MX5s inside and out. /Dan
The spot welder looks good

Entered to win it for my dad as he loves the MX5s. He’s owned two so far! Good luck everyone!
Wondering whether the ‘you’re one of our winners’ is an outsider ‘spamming’?
ive been wanting to surprise my girlfriend with a miata for our 3 year anniversary, this sould be PERFECT for her. she loves miata's and want to learn stick shift sooo bad!!!!
Well done team MX5Parts.....car looks & sounds great. I do miss my MK1 😪
Great car, looks and sounds brilliant, a true little classic sports car. Got my fingers and toes crossed to win this little beauty, good luck to everyone that's entered
Nice !
Looks brilliant, nice discrete upgrades good luck to the proud winner!
As slim a chance as there is of me winning, I can't help being a bit excited at the prospect. Good luck to all and I guess it's an early mk2 NB next? (there's a low mile California on ebay in Bradford that might be a nice base)
Honestly, I think this car is an absolute BEAUT! Well done all involved and fingers crossed for the lucky winner. You have to be in it, to win it!
