My wife has a 1995 318ti and with what we have had to spend just to keep it on the road in the last 6 mnths, we could have bought a late model MX5.

Hi Eric, I have found giving it a realy good clean with CRC or WD-40 or similar, then retracting it fully(even if you have to push it the last bit) several times can fix it. It picks up a lot of dust etc when up which is the carried down into the mechanisim when it is retracted. Cheers. From ibeards...

Hi Terry, couple of points, we had to travel 4 kilometers in an unbroken convoy not just park up at an event somewhere, every car had to be verified by drivers name, registration and contact details, and we were first to take the initiative to lodge with Guinness Book of records. Oh and yes it did r...

It is my understanding that the agency that handled the paper work with
Guiness are working on each of the registered participants (that the cars that
completed the form and put it in the box at the event) receiving an

This has just come through from MAZDA NZ.

"It's official - we have an official Guinness World Record for the largest
parade of Mazda (MX-5) cars. We've just checked the online tracking
function."

Will post more as it is known or check www.mazda.co.nz

Hi Dez, a lot more involved than just the block under the bonnet. Each wheel
has to have the required sensors and sending units, different axles etc, I
would imagine it would be a lot chaeper just to find an MX5 with it already
fitted.

Hi Chrissy, what model dop you have ? If series 1, Standard steering wheel has
a single nut behind the horne button which when undone will allow the whole
steering wheel to be removed.

Not to mention the cost of fuel - is that the sound of a V8 or the fuel being sucked out of the tank. I also like being able to go out to the garage after a couple of weeks and know that when I turn the key, the MX is going to go, and that I am not going to have to spend all weekend trying to get th...
