MX5Ireland

Hey all,
So I'm all new to the world of MX5 and today after having the car for 4 days I had the back end kick/skid on me (Scary yet addictive). SO I wanted to Say Hi, my name's Derrick and I'm confused.

I will be posting my pictures of my new 1992 BRG 1.6 mx5 later today


PS where and when is there a meeting as I would love to meet up. (Loads of questions).

Hi Derrick,
Welcome to the 'club' which is not really a club but yet still a club.
We're not too official about it which makes everything pretty cool.
I joined earlier this year and been to 3 meetings. I tell ya, they're really good, great fun and super easy going.
There's a big one coming up on the 10th of Aug (The Midlands Run). Hope to see you there & welcome to the world of proper motering, cruising, tyre kickin', etc...

Hi Derrick and welcome along to the club. Bet you're still smiling after the rear kick out
There are a number of members located not too far from yourself and as cloggy said, the next gathering will be on Aug 10th..If you're free I recommend you head along

John

Tanks all for the welcome. I think I'll like this club.

I'm about to go back home this morning where I can actually give my car a proper wash and clean it desirves. I have to do some work on the car but that's the fun bit right?

I ordered some new speakers but I don't know how to take the interior of the door off to replace them. Any advice or is there a tech day soon. Oh and I'm going to the run on the 10th

Howdo welcome to da club!!!!!!!!!
Yeah make the midlands if you can should be a good run.

Hi Sadriver,

Welcome to da club!

Hey, Finally have pictures, sorry it took so long

Thats a fantastic looking 5!

I adore the door mirrors.............Mmmmmmmmm....i want them

yeah they are cool. I really like them but I might have to get them coated again. You can see a few bits where they have corrodid. I like the Black one also ash's new wheels WOW!!! Really like, just have to sasve up for that :p

HAve to replace the speakers. any hints as to how to do that?

That looks like a really original 5 you have there.
Speakers are a easy to replace. I got a set off infinity components in the doors, they are very good for the price.
Think these are the ones 6.5" but let me check if you are going to order them.

I got the speakers on the way. Should arrive in the next day or so. but removing the interior of the door looks complecated. in north dublin have a few minutes to spare. show me how to take it off and on

or manuals?

Its really easy mate, 3 screws and the door handle comes off, i screw and the door cup comes off. Gently pull off the door panel all the way around bottom edge and the sides. They are just held in place with trim clips. Once you get into it you will soon get the hang off it.

Love the interior, very nice

John

That has to be the second nicest BRG mx5 I have ever seen!!!!!

Hiya Derick!
Got my BRG 91 late April and it is almost identical to yours apart from the radio and mirrors!!! Bloomin love it!!!!

Welcome and enjoy........glad to see you are well on the way to the addictive world of washing/waxing/polishing/adjusting/changing/etc etc!!!

Val.
NO 1 BRG!!!! ....well....in the Sun Burnt Sunny South East!!

Doh just realised that i forgot to say you will need to pull off the speaker covers, they just pull off too.
