Hi guys cheers for the links there most helpful I will keep an eye on the CHCH based MX5 club and see how active they are.

I was checking out the NZ MX5 Club and there seems to be little if no activity in the South Island especially around Canterbury, anyone know if MX5ers from Christchurch/Canterbury get out on club runs at all as I would be keen to go on some.

Cheers Stephen

The 1998 vspec has a couple of issues I hope you guys can help me with. 1st is where the heater/fan controls are we have no light behind the heat control dial so I'm guessing it's a blown bulb, how easy is this to replace any one at to tell me how to get in there to replace it.

Cheers guys for the advice. I was sent a PM by one of the admin and it seems to be the difference between the RS and VSpec is that the RS should have a stiffer suspension set up and a more sporty ride and the VSpec would be more suited to touring, as I all ready have a Lotus 7 replica that I drive a...
