Shock absorber boots

The "boots" incorporate the bump stops - which are a vital (and warrantable) part of the suspension - so you can't go without them! Have a look at http://www.virkki.com/jyri/miata/bumps.html and you will find out more than you want to know about the subject. I've got 2 unused ones in the garage - ca...

Yes, the quality is very good. Each "intersection" in the mesh is crimped together so it doesn't flop around, and it has a rubber edging so doesn't scratch paintwork. Took about 1/2 an hour to fit with the help of some washing up liquid. It's been on the car for about a year now, still looks new. I ...

MX5 PADS AND BRAKE FADE

Braided brake lines made a big difference to pedal feel, but fell foul of WOF regulations. For a while they were banned completely, then became OK if DOT or SAE marked to approved standard and designed specifically for the car. They need to have the DOT/SAE mark permanently attached (a stuck on labe...

If I may stake a claim for chronological credibility here - I bought my first MX5 brand new in January 1990. The tappets rattled on start up from day-one.

I fitted this one to our car

They're really dear to buy from here; put "Lockwood grille" into Google and
you'll find lots of people selling them. Ours came off eBay, less than half
price. Exceptional quality too.
