It's a prick on a 34 GTT too. More so than the 33 and Stag.

Frustration saw me flex the cover plate back over until it broke in 2. :angry:

Easier to remove in 2 pieces and get to the plugs if you loose the patience to remove all the other stuff.

Now I regret it :/

So easy on the R32 GTR. But that's about the only thing that is......

The Cam Breather fitting is the biggest bitch as it gets in the way of the Valley cover removal process. (different on 33)

Put a decent lever inside it and gently turn it 90 degrees, makes things alot easier... :thumbsup:

This is a 33 I think. (Google Image)

On a 34 the metal fitting is turned inwards and the spout gets in the way.

Turn it like the 33 for easier access, twist it back when you're done.

It's quite easy and straight forward. Remove all the things that are in the way and put them back the same way you took them out but in reverse. NA motors are more painful to change than DETs

The twin intake thing would make it a massive pain in the ass. Although, you sorta deserve it for buying an NA.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
