I've just removed my electric radio aerial (never listen to the radio). Would you have a grommet to bung up the hole that's left on the rear wing?

Like any track day the first thing that goes are either Brake pads or hoses, So bring loads of those.

The mx5 really are that reliable when using them on track.

Touch wood mines never broken down with out me hitting somthing.

Only one on each side .

Found this out when I put new pads on yesterday .

The old Pads were about half worn and even , so no harm seams to have been done .

But if it supposed to have two springs on both sides I would rather heve them and know the pads are fitted properly .

If you have a couple of the W clips that fit on the rear brake calipers , that would be good .

Thanks

We are bringing a few spares just in case,as we know that a lot of owners will be driving them there as Jon wants us there so you lot can drive them back home, this is not a scare mungering thing or to worry owners as i was duely told at the my local OC meet last week so i was not mentioned to fellow owners in the meet (because it might scare them from going??)that i was going as staff for the piece of mind and the just in case a hose goes west a rad goes with it, pads are all used up etc etc, even down to a couple of spare wheels just in case. we are hoping that we will not need to do anything, but be at ease that we are there to help as fellow owners, so come and say hi and have a chat, as we watch you all go round and round and round.......

Yes we are bringing spare rads, i will dig out a sun visor screw, and come and see us about advancing your timimg

Rest assured that we have covered the best we can with spares and spanner man to be there.

Parts will be supplied by Autolink and myself so can be paid for by cash or through the website on the days, fitting will be done for free,So don't take the p*ss, but a HUGE thank you jar will be not far away lol if you feel the need to as this is all off our own backs

Any worries by all means shout on here, P.M, e-mail, text, phone or get me on mazda-mender.co.uk or you can speak to Andrew at Autolink also.

Looking forward to a great weekend , in our tent(happy days) which big bad Jon has sorted for us, worry free, and hope to meet quite a lot of owners that i have not met yet,I'll be the one with a shad load of opinions lol.

Hi M-m,

My car has always been missing one of the black countersunk but slightly raised cross head screws that secure the sunvisors. I'm hoping that might be just the sort of item you might have in a tub of spares for which their may be room in the car?

Thanks, Ian

Not a part but a tool,

I want to get the 14 degree timing mod done on my 1.6 eunos but I do not have either a timing light nor an external tacho. Would you be able to bring these and could i get someone to help me with it.

what would be the chances of a spare radiator being available just in case as the one in my daily driver is a second hand one that came out of my track car and has done about 100K

i have a new alloy rad on order yet but mx5 parts waiting stock from supplier

have also seem an mx5 loose 2 radiators in a day on track before (first one split, replaced it in the paddock then had a stone or bit of debris hit it as he had no intake grill fitted)
