Quick question,

I have a MK1 MX5 (Jap import, Eunos Roadster 1989 G-Reg), and there are 3 blank switches just to the right of the steering column. All 3 are wired in behind with 3 different types of plug.

Anyone know what they're for?

I don't like having things missing, lol.

Cheers

 

iirc [and it is only recollection!] 1 is for adjusting the pitch of the headlights [there should be a button in the centre of the dash which flips them up WITHOUT the lights on, to help you change the bulbs] and 1 is for a heated back screen when you have a hard top. FUCK knows what the third is MEANT for as I've only ever seen it used for an immobiliser/alarm light.

HTH

 

Cheers mate, someone said they thought one was for isolating the electric windows, which is a bit pointless given the size/layout of the car!

Big help

 

Does sound like bollocks as the electric windows are in by the centre arm rest! Can't imagine they'd wire an isolator all that distance away from them?

How are you getting on with the car??? You like it??

 

Yeah it's not too bad! Nice and easy to work on, handles superbly! Not very powerful, but you seem to be able to throw it into corners at any speed.

Doesn't like the wet though, lol!

 

Have you found the headrest speakers yet? Most are disconnected, but are in place - There's a zip in the top of the seat which 'exposes' them.

Oh, and don't roll it!

 

Yeah, they were disconnected, but not any more!

Ouch!

 

They're dreadfully under powered But awesome fun to drive for the money. I love them and sell shit loads, all year round! The Mk2s are cheap now as well! I've got a 51 plate here for £3999... wasn't long ago and it would have been nearer £6k

But like you said, cheap tyres on the back and they hate the wet!

Last 3 Mk1s I've had and sold:

No. 144 of 250 built to celebrate the launch of the MX5 in the UK. Had only done 40k miles!


This was only 70k miles, 1 owner, hard top etc. but was probably the worst one for rot I've ever had



I had this for about 4-5 years and wheeled it out in the summer. It ALWAYS started, NEVER went wrong, was an import with no history, was minty mint, cost fuck all to run and only cost me about £1000 all that time ago in p/ex on another car!!! I got double that back for it this summer just gone Should never have sold it!



Next one I keep will be a yellow Mk2!

If you're going to look like a bender... may as well go the whole hog

 

Fuck that! Was everyone alright???

 

Yes-ish - I got battered when the wife saw what |'d done to her car

 

On the bright side, you'd never have to pay for parking again... just slip right under the barrier

 

i have no 82 sat in the garage turbocharged

 

SWEET! Post up pics please! [if the thread starter doesn't mind the hijack ] What turbo conversion is it?? What sort of power???

I had a BBR converted one a few years ago, I think they should ALL be done to be honest!

 

Go for it, original question has been and gone, lol!

 

years ago a friend of the family used to have a 90 or 91 bbr turbo one in the le mans colours 1600 turb.i don't think they made many and the handbook was signed by Johnny Herbert.i borrowed it for a couple of weeks and everybody used to stare,not surprising really looking the same as this but with a green hardtop

 

I've got this sat in the garden going to become a flowerpot soon. Not a bad little car but a fucker to get in and out off in a hurry. Its a special edition of some sort, maybe a Lagoon Blue from memory

 

Buses are easier to get in and out of Nath?

And you have your free pass now....
