Hi, how about City Garage in the CBD - they advertise in the club magazine so assume still specialise in MX5s

Sorry about the recent spam hit... who would have thought the antispam protection for phpBB3 was so poor. :cry: Anyway, cleaned up now (was harder than it should have been) and some more antispam protection in place. I was overseas at the time so missed the big hit - apologies for those whose eyes a...

Yes, been a while but finally moved the forum to a new server and have upgraded to phpbb3. Still a lot to do, and sorry some of it (like the garage) won't be coming across as there isn't a phpbb3 equivalent. Also, no more posting via email (mail2forum mod) but it sounds like it was rarely used anywa...

Hi guys, I'll take your advice as to what to do here - still need a plan for this site. My plan was to move it to better/more modern forum software and then maybe add a few more features as I can. I didn't realise how much chat was on facebook until I joined recently, but I did see a lot of it was b...

:?: So, what would the return be with 12', not 14? 14 degrees isn't a magic number, that is just the advance that most people have said over the years that they get better midrange and high rev power, with no detonation. Some people have said they can advance to 16 degrees without issue. The tradeo...

Any thoughts on doing this? anyone know of a plug in module that already does this? Hi Daniel, that's basically what most ECUs do, allow change to timing based on a configurable curve. My piggyback GReddy Blue does this and I paid $500 a few years back, and the Link or Megasquirt allows this and mo...

Hi Timmo, similar setup to my 94 (although it is sitting in a garage unloved!). It is all do-able... but if you don't watch cost you'll end up spending enough to start again with a new setup anyway. Most of my gear was second hand/gifted/traded otherwise I'd have done something different. I have a g...

Hi All, just a few thoughts about the forum, and looking for some feedback. I put it here rather than the announcements section, as people may miss it. Note that I'm probably not going to do anything in the next week or so... just looking to see that people think. The forum has been around for close...

Site was down for a while sorry, and first attempt at server move located a few legacy issues... have backtracked and will be looking at a couple of other methods soon.

thanks

Hi all, I've been putting off moving the site to my new server long enough, so need to do at at some stage. That means sometime in the next few weeks the site will disappear - possibly only for an hour or two, but could be a bit longer as the internet catches up to where the new site will live. Not ...

Did you change it to an electronic flasher relay? I assume you have. If so you have not eliminated the original problem, but made the issue go away anyway... Did you check the side marker indicator bulb as well as front/rear? The earlier relays would be bi-metallic, heated up by current flow though ...

Hi G... I can provide advice if you wanted to fit it yourself (on the spot, on the phone if needed!) No time to help with the install though these days sorry. A self installed alarm is always more secure as you can spend time routing cables out of the way. And you don't have dodgy alarm installers r...

anyone is welcome to borrow my bluetooth ODBII tranceiver btw

nice article, thanks for posting.

They really should get some proof readers in though... I found 4 or 5 missed words and glaring errors... apparently the 'The roof is 20 litres smaller than before in terms of total capacity"...

Not sure exactly what you are looking to do with it, but I have one of these http://www.dx.com/p/super-mini-elm327-bluetooth-odb2-v1-5-car-diagnostic-interface-tool-blue-142679 No good for my early ODB1 MX5, but have used it for my commodore.

http://www.3news.co.nz/sport/mad-mikes-secret-drift-weapon-2015042517 in case you are interested and didn't see it in 3 news online - not sure if it is embedded in any of the other threads apart from the one in 2014 did a bit of googling for more info. Not much space left in that engine bay... or mu...

I've reduced the stand down period for linking etc, the visual logins should get most of the robot spam anyway.

speaking of stolen cars... it is a timely reminder that GPS trackers are dirt cheap on ebay. you can set up a tk103b tracker with remote and a 2 degrees sim card for well under $100. I was checking on tracker models the other day and DX have these for US$50 ... (free 24hr ship to nz). Remote/GPS an...

Just in case anyone was worried, Ross at MX5Mart is still going full guns in Tauranga, but his website is unreachable at the moment (partly my fault... but not a lot I can do at the moment!)

oi - if you aren't careful I'll set some regular expressions to change all your mentions of the words MX5 to Z3 or something...

pretty sure all those diagrams are linked to elsewhere on this forum anyway.

Hi all, I don't normally respond in the Chat discussions, but thought you might like some responses on this thread. The rules are here but aren't too detailed as I'm really not trying to make this a boot camp. Please read though.... appropriate language is mentioned... http://www.mx5forum.co.nz/view...

assume all sorted, but ...I could ask 'is there such thing as an 1800 turbo model' or is it a Eunos Roadster 1800... with an aftermarket turbo. (maybe there was a factory one here?
