brakes

Do you have a residual valve? If your master cylinder is located lower than the wheel cylinders or caliper it is recommended to have a residual valve in the line.

All fixed now. The rod between the pedal and the cylinder was pushing the brakes on a little all the time. I've adjusted it and also taken it for a nice long run around the twisties! It's a bit rapid!

Glad you got it sorted, and great to see you you've finally got it on the road!
They are a bit nippy aren't they! Mine still makes me grin every time I drive it

Once it goes past 4000 rpm it takes off!

Is yours a 1.6 or 1.8 David? Making me jealous with all this fun talk!

Apparently, there's not much difference between 1.6 and 1.8. I've heard of MX-5 fans going to great pains and expence to get a 1.8. When they succeed, get disappointed with the amount of pull anyway.

There isn't really IMO (if you're comparing an early 1.6, post '94 Euro market cars are a slightly different story), the benefits of the 1.8 over the early 1.6 come with the stronger diff, better brakes and more bracing as standard.
