Quick edit: Yours is probably called a MK3.5. The engine is a mazda tweeked version of the ford duratech. Find info about the drain tubes and keep them clear.

Best site for real information from people who know what they are talking about and give facts rather than opinions...http://www.mazdamenders.net/forum/

Good info Andy - not really a moder though tbh. Like the idea of the SmartTop though, handy around london for sure.

I was planning on leaving my first MX-5 as standard at first. It took me about year before I got the bug.

The SmarTop is great. It looks expensive, but it adds a lot of convenience. It's quite handy when it rains on the motorway too.

http://mx5roadster.org Thought this site was quite interesting and has a copy of JC's review of the Mk 3.5. Great cars.
