Mark (smokey mow) Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 the rear disks on my donor fairly covered in rust. The passenger side rear is 100% covered in probably about 2mm thick don't think that one was working!! I'm guessing it would be advisable to replace so was looking around and found these: http://www.mx5parts....ake-p-1611.html what are your thoughts?? seems a good deal to me I bought all new discs, pads and calipers for mine but bought the OEM mazda parts from mx5parts. The package deal looks like good value and I'm sure will be capable, just make sure you buy the correct kit, as the ones you've linked to are for a Mk2 not Mk1.

darve Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 mines a 1999 model so is it not a mk2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samulis Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yes it is, it is NB/mk2. 1999 they had 10 year anniversary model that had 6 speed and torsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The date of manufacture is reflected in the P-registration of the car wich would make in Aug '96 to July '97. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dommo Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I bought that deal (mk1) last year. Only fitted the fronts to the donor (was running it at the time) but I didn't notice any problems. Frankly, it's a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darve Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 anyone got any tips for getting the steering wheel off? am I right in thinking you shouldn't hit the column with a hammer as it could collapse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 anyone got any tips for getting the steering wheel off? am I right in thinking you shouldn't hit the column with a hammer as it could collapse? I use a hub puller these days but I've done it in the past with a short length of wood on the back of the wheel and a few gentle taps with my favourite hammer The design of the mazda column is such that if it does collapse (and yes I've done it ) you can pop them back out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
