MX-5 Workshop videos
Below are a selection of workshop videos covering various Mazda MX-5 workshop tests and procedures. These video aids are to help drivers who don’t have the suppoprt of a team and are trying to do as much work on their car as they can and who don’t have a mechanical or engineering background.
Please note most of the video links refer to Mazda Miatas which are the United States equivalent to our MX-5s. In most cases the mechanicals and procedures are identical.However, some references to performance figures may be inaccurate if you are running a non standard set up such as engine compression figures if you have skimmed the cylinder head.
Try not to get too hung up on Miata Mike and his typically American presentation including crown and moustache as what he says most of the time is very helpful.
