Good vid guys, would really recommend deleting the centre console. Improves the driving position a lot.

[@thepetroholics]

Interesting suggestion, have you deleted it on an NA or NB?

[@chanfelix1971]

Love the MX-5 content!
To avoid the struggle that I went though, when you are doing the auxiliary belts eventually, there is a bolt that at the bottom and behind the alternator that could be on fairly tight, there's not much space from the engine bay, I suggest reaching in with a box end 14mm wrench from the driver wheel well, could also link another wrench on it if you don't have enouch leverage :)

[@thepetroholics]

Omg, can’t believe you mentioned this because this stopped me from finishing the job on my first go 😂😂. The NA engine has a bolt head on both sides but someone thought it was a good idea to make it harder on the NB!

[@chanfelix1971]

Init, it's right annoying, I might also add I think you'd want to check if the brake calipers are seized, both the slide pins and pistons are worth checking, one weird thing is the rear calipers wind back with the handbrake adjuster, which is like a worm gear, so avoid using a C-clamp otherwise it might damage it 😂

[@thepetroholics]

I’ll make a note of this! 👊🏽
