All fixed
Thanks to Les for getting back in touch with Steve Lee.. now at KYP.
The cost of the service was about as much as the manifold, which justifies just buying a new one rather than patch up the old one (and have it fail again later). Time taken to take all the exhaust manifold nuts off, and replace I guess was about 4-5 hrs on my bill.
Steve also got creative making the plumb back for my BOV using parts of S14 and Skyline. Looks almost stock
Now for new brake pads & rotors.. more time off the road !

Can't wait to see you back on the road, your car is brilliant. Can we tempt you to compete in some club motorsport?
AFARCC also have a track day, some skid pans and sprints coming up if you want somewhere to reacquaint yourself with the NB.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Cheers Dave,
Probably when Josh is a bit older.. MX5 is not a high $$ priority for me now.
Just drive it when I want to smile
Next goal.. A "vintage" F360 in about 10 years time hahaha
