Recent acquisition high mileage Mk2
Surprised and delighted to find this MX5 part on Locostbuilders!
So just bought a 1999 1.8 Mk2 in need of some TLC, 157K on the clock!
Any recommendations as to how I can get a spring back into her step?
12 months MOT but brakes need overhaul, had her up on a ramp and rust not too much of a problem, intend to start at the front and work backwards.
Would welcome any insight as to any quick gains or problems areas that I should attend to first.
Cheers JohnEM

I know nothing about MX5 except that they are cheap!
So if the engine is long in its tooth and a little loose then considering buying an engine that has more bounce in its bang!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Get it rust proofed the maker didn't bother with any. I've recently been looking for one and just given up as all I see are rust buckets,
looked at one only 5 years old a mk 3 and only 15k on the clock that had more rust underneath than my 30 year old landy
