So started getting few bits for the 1.8 engine rebuild, but in two minds to put the engine in my 1.5 or keep in original shell. My 1.5 is real tidy on the bodywork and the 1.8 has some scraps and dents. How difficult is the swap going to be, thought’s please

Here's my 1988 Super 5 GT TURBO. Mk 2 Pearl white, with Mitsubishi TD04L turbo and carburettor Group A. Such a funny car

Just saw this on the MX5Life forum, really shocking crash between biker and Subaru. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/shocking-footage-shows-motorcyclist-fly-17547882

I just read the thread 'what mb do I have' but I'm still confused cos on my year with the 1.6 is says I have a vtec which I'm pretty sure that I don't

So I think that I know the answer to this question, but I'm going to ask anyway. I've got some itr cams to go in my deck, which hasn't driven for 10 months. It's going to be having some work done, including timing belt, which seems like an ideal opportunity to get the cams in, but getting it mapped isn't going to be possible for a little while, and it's going to need to be mot'd before it drives anywhere. Question is, do I get the cams in now, or forget about it until I can get it mapped? What should I expect if I ran the cams on the p9 ecu?

Hi would anybody be able to tell me if these fit my car pls it's 1995 5 Dr 1.6https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F400499754703 or would it be these ones https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F161464647560

My 1995 civic 42,000 miles I paid £225 on ebay

Hi I'm Mark, New to the page. Got this for a steal at £200. slowly doing bits to her and giving her some much needed TLC Will be adding a turbo kit to her in the next few weeks. If anyone is aware of any Pirates black bumpers going please let me know. Cheers

Happy Christmas everyone, hope that you all had a good day.

Evening guys. Looking at mounting 3 x 52mm gauges in the centre console of my Aerodeck. I was wondering what solutions you guys have gone for?
