  • Re: MK2.5 owners, check your front chassis rails

     As promised earlier, a photo of my rust.  This is just a preliminary investigation, I have another car to sort out first before I get round to fixing this one.  The other side also has problems, but I'm going to fix one side at a time. Alan

  • Re: MK2.5 owners, check your front chassis rails

     I've just taken a small hammer to the side of the OSF chassis rail by the roll bar mount and to my horror now have a large hole.  In the next day or so I will be investigating closer and will report on my findings with pictures when I find out how to post them.  This is just a preliminary report to say that this is ...

  • Re: Copper slip on hubs

  • Re: Ohh, that's bad.

     It does depend on how much time you have and on your facilities, a good MIG is essential.  My MG was far worse than your MX-5 and I repaired that myself, but it did take me some time (read years on and off) and I do have good facilities (although not a ramp or pit).

  • Re: Headlight aim

  • Re: Rainsport 2 wobbly

     I had the same problem, so moved the new Rainsports on to the front and that cured it.  It's probably down to the mould release agent used on the tyres and should wear off fairly quickly, assuming you do not hit anything in the meantime.

     I leave my smart charger permanently connected whenever the car is not in use.
