What have you done to your MX-5 today? (Part 1)

I owned a Jap import in the same colour. The colour was consistant on all the panels but suffered from previously being in the Japanese sun, faded, imported in 2008.
It’s a love it or hate it colour, wish I still had mine it was a rust free example even behind those skirts.

Looked a lovely car Mick

Always liked Racing Bronze. Dared to be different…which is a lot more than we see today.

For clutch adjustment, 1 wound my adjuster until there was no longer any play and then wound it back a turn.
Worked a treat.

MOT today, with a pass and no advisories, happy days, then it was an anniversary wash

Looking to try and restore some power on my Mk1, anyone got any ideas?

Try a new air filter (standard is fine) and some decoke stuff to put in the petrol. This is a cheap thing to do and will make some difference.

Just finished compounding my boot lid that I repainted last week. The paint had gone a bit milky so am very pleased with the result.

I wished it (her?) Happy 1st Birthday!

May have to go out for a celebratory spin after work - no commute as WFH…

I had to refit the plastic under tray under the engine as one side fell off.

Dried out the driver’s side carpet and that fixed the bad starting issue.
Also refurbed the base of the heated seat where the water had caused it to rust. Nice and shiny now. And sprayed the black bits black again.
