Hey guys, I know this topic has been dead for a couple of months but I just wanted to clarify for anyone who comes looking. IGNORE ALL OF THIS AND GO TO THE MAJOR EDIT PART Stick on plates are NOT legal. The NZTA website states the following: "Only registration plates issued by the NZTA are legal, w...

Blue park light legality
Is anyone familiar with the laws around having different coloured park lights? I have seen a few courier vans around with blue LEDs replacing the small T10 park light bulbs in thier vans and I would like to do a similar thing with my NA but I'm not quite sure how legal it is... If anyone has some ad...

retrofitting glass windowed hood
It has come to my attention that I may be in need of a new hood soon... I was just wondering what kind of conversion (if any) is required to change my '89 NA to a glass windowed hood. And if anyone could point me to someone who can fit one in or near Lower Hutt that would be great as the local Mazda...

door seals
Hi guys, This last winter my car hasn't been garaged as much as I would like and I noticed that after a heavy rain my driver side seat is quite wet. I have called 3 places in Lower Hutt (Mazda parts and dealers) and I have asked if I can get the door seals replaced without replacing the whole top or...

It is quite normal for you to feel that with a rear wheel drive car - especially a light sports car like an MX-5. As for the stiff gear shifting that could be because the entire length of the gear stick is only about 15cm. I don't know what you have driven before but with MX-5s you are sitting next ...

There are speakers in the headrests. I thought everyone knew this but I was talking to a couple of people with MX-5s and they had no idea. (The headrest speakers are controlled by the rear speaker input. There is a left and right speaker in each.) ( Admin: Excellent point... They are in NA models on...

I figured that after my own experience I wanted to make it an easier process for anyone else willing to attempt it. For example: The mx5mart website says fitting instructions are included when you buy the dials. The instructions were "Take a photo of the dials" written on the invoice. I hope that my...

4, one for each existing light. When you take the dash apart, assuming you have a Mk1, there will be about 8 light holders. Four of these holders are black and the other four are a dark green. The dark green ones hold the bulbs that light up the dials. (Ignore the other ones as these are for things ...

Problems again...
Hey guys, Thanks for your previous help with what lights to use. I have since run into another problem with the install... I pulled the dash apart to get to the lights and I got stuck when it came time to pull out the instrument cluster. It seems that the only way to get it out is to disconnect the ...
