Yet another new owner

[attym3]

So I've finally done it, I picked up my 91 Eunos Roadster today. What a drive! Unfortunately there are two little problems, the first I've heard of is that the drivers eletric window is a bit lazy. The second is the tickover seems a bit low and twice when I came to a stop the engine died. Anyone heard/had this problem? Any help very welcome

Mark

ETA
I will add some pics when I take some, tommorrow if the sun comes out.

Both easy to fix.

You need to grease the window runners and adjust base idle (for this you need some technical tools....





A screwdriver and a bent paperclip)

Google for a full set of instructions.

I used silicone grease on my window runners, worked a treat.

Cheers, have a virtual pint on me.
The idle is now sorted, now to do the window runners.

Thread resurrection!!

I bought this car from Mark in June this year (for a bargain price). This is my first Eunos/MX5 and I must say that they really are as much fun to drive as everybody says they are

Since June, I've fitted a hardtop, new discs and pads, Cobalt exhaust, battery, and just recently these wheels and new Toyo T1Rs. Looking forward to the summer

...and now with a turbo and 220 bhp

Ah sweet!

At the moment with horrific annual mileage I'm in an E46 330CD Manual coupe. I've just got a job closer to home however and on the hunt for an E46 M3. Hence the need for another fun car - the MX5!

Do let us know if you come to sell. Thanks!

Very nice.

Missed out on 2 MK1s recently, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Still looking though.

Steve, hope you have received my email!

I still own the car. Getting old now, both of us!
