Well folks, I have finally joined the crazy ranks of MX5 owners. A random choice of vehicle? Most probably, but it's a start. I've a had a lot of fun already this week, albeit a couple of short trips around Coffs.

I did some basic maintenance a few days ago viz plugs, leads, oil, filter etc. Drives a thousand times better already. The engine is really smooth. The clutch I think needs a little attention, and a number of hoses/fluids need to be replaced in due time.

Here's a few photos taken this afternoon in Coffs:

Welcome to the obsession, re; the clutch start at the easy end and bleed it first.

Thanks Greg. The clutch works perfectly except for a little shudder after engaging first gear. I have felt this on other vehicles too, but not being a mechanic I'm not sure what it is.
