MX-5 OC Forum

MOT day. I was dreading it but she past with just two advisories including corrosion on front discs. Changed these two years so not overly happy about this. Then took her a blast down to Barry Island. Topless all the way home, blustery but super fun. Just the way it should be in a 5!

 Come to think of it, the guy in the office that gave me his tonneau cover is trying to scrap his automatic Mk1 import so I might just ask him if I can remove the four fateners that I need. Alternatively, I could just sell the tonneau cover and buy a Mk 2 version!

Looks like the Woolies ones are best value so I may well go for these. I can sell on the ones I don't need. Thanks for the link.

 I have recently bought a S/H OEM winblocker with speakers at each end. The speakers that I fitted to the bulkhead behind the seats have now been removed and the cables that I fed through from the new stereo are waiting to be connected. Although I can easily join the cables using a terminal block, the cables within the windblocker have a ...

 I would have gone for the KH51's but couldn't get them when I needed them (sorry NickD). Still, I got the T1R's for a good price (£150 for 4 plus £15 delivery) and they were fitted after my wheels were refurbished.
