WHO’S BEEN SHOPPING THEN?
APPARENTLY YOU DON’T NEED TO LIFT!
Up to the Forest of Bowland for the weekend. This was taken at Beacon Fell Country Park.
Accompanied by a rather loud return home! I presume this is the ‘usual’ place the midpipe fails on the Mk3?! I’ll see if I can get it welded up locally.

They do a repair section for that, cut in the appropriate place and bolt up…
Yep saw that Mick. It’s also more expensive via MX5 Parts than it is direct. Just wasn’t sure if it was better replacing or simply re-welding.
The rest of it looks in fine condition. Just looks like that join hasn’t been designed particularly well. There again, this is a Sept 2009 example on 88k miles, so perhaps that’s not bad going!
Yep, going back many years now exhausts used to rust for fun or the baffles used to rattle and fall apart in silencers. For a good few years now they are made of sterner stuff, my last NC exhaust was original at nearly 14 years old when sold.
I had a VW beetle and it required an exhaust almost every year, poor quality steel replacements I guess but easy and cheap to replace on those.
MX-5 City have the same section @£70, or this below may work…
