    My First MX5

    Picked it up on sunday, havent stopped smiling since!! its a 1.8 sport, with a dual exit exhaust, k &n filter, hoops and soundboard...i added the clear repeaters etc today, made it look much better and it used to belong to a member on here as theres a mx-5 oc sticker in the windscreen.

    future mods will be just to upgrade the headunit and speakers and maybe polybush it..

    2004 1.8 sv-t sport, dual exit exhaust, k & n filter.

    Re: My First MX5

    Hi livlee1.  Welcome to the Forum.  Why not come to the next North Thames Club night on Wednesday 29th August and meet the members.  You'll find us at the Eagle, Kelvedon Hatch CM15 0AA from 8.00pm (or earlier if you fancy a meal).
    Plenty of help and advice on hand and, you never know, but you might like us and want to join the Owners Club too.
    Have a look on the North Thames Forum here http://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/forums/152.aspx for all the details

    Re: My First MX5

    Cheers Eric,

    am away that weekend in majorca, but would love to attend a meet in the future!!

    couple of questions...

    where in essex/herts would you recommend for a service etc??

    also i noticed yesterday a tiny piece of rust on the rear drivers sill, just a small hole in the stone chip top coat...is it worth just patching this up myself?

    also i have a metallicily/ gratting noise from the rear driver side, sounds like somethings rubbing? not had a proper look yet..any ideas..it is a 6 speed box with lsd..i did drive 2 others and they made this noise as well !?!?

    cheers Lee.
