Is it the same for a Mk1? I need to run a cable for a remote boot release.

No, that sounds about right. I found exactly the same problem when I put 40mm lower springs on mine. Bumpy roads that I could previously take at 70 or 80 now felt dangerous at 50-60. I put it back to stock as soon as I could. 5s on lowering springs look fantastic but as far as actually driving it goes they're a waste of time and money. If ...

Nice idea but pictures won't help in the slightest. I had a car written off outside my house once and despite the other vehicle leaving its number plate under the wreck of my car when he drove off (God only knows how. His car was almost as damaged as mine) the police just accepted his claim that he'd "lent it to some bloke down the ...

To be honest you see worse than both of them on Nutz. I actually quite like the khaki one. Each to their own I say. It's not like there's a shortage of MX5s and they're somehow depriving us of straight ones by modifying them. 

Bloody hell. I'm going to have to get me one of them if you can charge people 30 quid an hour to have a go

You're right, that's not what I want to hear but I think it's unlikely. I know the history of the car since import. It used to be owned by Robbie and I know he would have noticed if there was a problem while he owned it and nothing has happened to it while it's been in my care that could warp the body. Could the fact that it has ...

For one reason and another I've had my alignment done 3 times since I got my 1990 1.6. Each time the person doing it has told me that there wasn't enough adjustment to get it spot on and this last time is's actually quite a long way out.  Obviously a car of that age is going to have wear in the various components which is causing ...

My Eunos speedo goes up to 120mph. The speedo reads in mph but the odometer is still in kilometres

I did my trade training at Cosford. If you saw a Shackleton there I've probably worked on it's navigation systems.
