Try Track Dog Racing also. They still have the complete kit listed so should have parts as well. Keep this thread going with your progress. :D

very carefully. The black edge can be carefully prized out. I did one set of mirrior and they came apart OK. Another set the black bit was so brittle it came out in about 50 pieces. In the end I got a set of electric ones and fitted them. God luck and take your time.

I have an M45 hot side on my car (1600NA) and goes real well. I would recommend you go for the M62, more power from the get go as you will eventually want it and also more scope to up grade latter if you want. Am surprised Moss are running for cover as the M62 kit is listed on there website. Looks l...

Is the MX5 not a sports car and so tuned and geared accordingly? If we want fuel economy maybe another vehicle would be better. I have heard some can get down to 4ltr per 100. I seem to remember getting more than 100k from a litre on my honda 50 stepthru :D

We went over a number of years ago but went the whole holiday glutton route of eating out. Did go into the local supermarket a couple of times and yes, a little more expensive, but not in my opinion worth the hassle of packing your own over. Also, not really helping the locals economy if you take yo...

I had a great time too. Thanks to Keith and team for their great work. First time I have been on a track and loved it. Was going to flag the event due to wet weather but glad I went anyway. Well worth the effort. Look forward to next year. Hopefully on the main track :D

They are not legal. Had them on the wifes car and recieved a warning. Did not have the original so had to get replacement (new number) carn't rmember but think it was about $9 or $10. MX5 Mart has a nice number plate mount that fits in the same position and doesn't block you air intake. Cheers
