ive got an 1800cc eunos roadster 16 years old mind and just think it should accelerate a bit quicker than it does, our other car is an aclass merc deizel and its a toss up which is quicker.
Nah they don't exactly go as fast or accelerate as quickly as they look like they should. I've got same model of Eunos on an old G plate. God awful in the wet on hills of Dee Dah land as well
If it's lost its acceleration it could well be it needs a new air flow meter. Only a garage could confirm it though. If it is the air flow meter it's well worth replacing it. It would make a big difference. There should be an owners club that will know what the problem is likely to be.
Theres a place in Coinsbrough, Doncaster that specialise in MX5's, MX5 City 08452300 http://www.mx5city.com/ContactMap.htm they should be able to help you out
I had a 1.6 and that was pretty nifty because they're light. A common problem with MX-5's are HT Leads, make sure they're not breaking down cos that would effect the acceleration.
I read in the Daily Mirror a couple of months back that you should stay clear of the Eunos Roadster, they're more troublesome than the MX-5. There was a lenghthy post about Mx-5's a few months back if you fancy searching for it. Maybe 3 months ago.
Beware him at Conisboro.......... When i was buying my Mx5 i went there. Very poor attitude and he was pricey. Sure others have a good experiance of him but i wont be rushing back there!!!
As far as im aware the MK 2 Mx5s with a 1.6 engine were underpowered. Unless yours was a mark 1. Mark 2s were heavier with a smaller engine. 1.8s should always be the first choice in my opinion. But what do i know!
