Mx5 mk3 1.8

  1. My model of MX-5 is: MK3 1.8
  2. I’m based near: Northumberland
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on tuning tips

Good evening I’ve just bought a mx3 1.8 with the normal bottom end rattle, got the front subframe and engine out now ready for the rebuild.

I’m after some advice on what I should do with my car, lower it, stick 17” wheels on, rear spoiler, skuzzle induction pipe and so on

I’ve never had a mk3 before as I had a mk1 for 7 year, so unsure what mods work best on these cars

If I rebuild the engine do I need to put harder rings in and what happens to the cranks, can You get them reground and set of new shells put in

And help would be greatly appreciated

Andy

Best Gospel advice from Keith.
On no account spend 1 cent on the engine until you chat with Paul.
They do NOT rebuild well…apparently.
