italian tune up
Discussion
bought my '92 mx5 4 weeks ago. Its done 85k miles. The 200 mile drive to get it home really loosened it up nicely. Since then I have replaced the coolant and done an oil change to fully synth and its running even better now, with the tappety noise now gone.
I now have one problem...me. My every day driver is a 2.2 diesel with lots of torque so a different driving style, and the neurotic part of my brain tells me that the engine will most likely explode if i get anywhere near that red bit on the rev counter!
My confidence in the reliability of the car is growing and i guess the rev limiter is there for a reason. Also assume that it is probably good to hit the rev limiter (when fully warm) at least once in a while, hopefully more. Convince me it wont go pop please....!!!
