Mx5's which to go for???

by Chri5, 21-01-2022, 06:02 PM

Can anybody offer any tips about the mx5 as in what to beware of and which is better the 1.6-1.8???
My daily commute of 2 miles is about to change to nearer 60miles.
And as part of this I can't be running the Soarer up and down the motorway.
So I think I'm going to go for the mx5. Weld the diff etc and at least get a bit of fun too
How reliable are these cars and is there anything that tends to go wrong etc.
any advice is welcome.

Engine oil/filters etc is200 turbo

by 1374lee, 19-01-2022, 06:47 PM

hello the.I hope I am posting thiS in the correct area,I am a newbie to the site so go easy.

Ok I have a 200 turbo.I wanted to know which type of oil filter for my car,as I have a sandwich plate I'm assuming as I have boost,oil guages in the car etc.The reason I ask is that I have been told I may have to use a Toyota Celica oil filter?

Alternatively should I use a HKS oil filter?






What oil should I be using in a turbo car,running around 300bhp,I was told 0w40, I was thinking perhaps a 5w40 or 10w 50 maybe?



Finally where would be the best place to get competative service parts...filters,cambelt kit etc.

Would you use genuine parts or go for motor factor parts?Any suggestions on where to get genuine parts cheap would be a great help or are genuine parts overpriced and go with the motor factor option?



I hope you can help.



Many thanks.Lee.

LED Headlights

Anyone any experience?

Theres various prices on ebay from tower SMD types through to ones with separate ballasts like HID kits.

But do any of them actually challenge normal headlights or HID's?

Hi guys n gals

I'm Pad, live in Bath & joined a few weeks ago.

Just out of interest, how many Honda Legends (3.2 or 3.5's) are there out there ??

As I heard it, there aren't too many, especially 3.2.
