Got the chance to look round an mx5 the other day. I can now see the attraction, turning a car you would not be seen dead in to one you would.

Finally got the latest revision of the build guide for the Mx-5 up on the website for download. Sent it off to be put on but the lad who deals with Saturns website was on hols and i forgot to chase it up.......
 It now contains additional guidance for mounting lower rubber mount on diff and gearbox. The threads on the diff and gearbox are the same as the engine mounts so decided to reuse these. It also includes guidance for the Handbrake mounting and cabling, works similar to the sierra just with different brackets. http://www.saturnsportscars.co.uk/mx5.php It also includes a rudimentary cutting list for the chassis and cutting checklist if it helps. Will be putting up the pedal box next to re-use the mx-5 master cylinder for the brakes and hydraulic clutch. Just to try and let everyone know, it's time to have a couple of days away (make the most of this lovely sun) so the unit will be locked up tomorrow and Saturday - back to normal on Monday. Enjoy the Sun.......AndyH
