How hard is it to make a phone call.

make another one if you don't get through the first time.

Yes, it's all been done. However if you lucky Mx5 Mania may have ordered extra sets. Give Simone a call and let her know you just missed the group buy, but you still want a set.



I got mine today! :D

But only because I picked them up from Fulcrum...
looks like a dawg of a job... but I am keen!

was looking in the Feb Autosalon mag (issue 52) and noticed they have a DIY writeup with pics for changing the bushings on a NA mx5 and it's not a small one either, 34 separate bushings in total :shock:

also see my post in the MX5 general chat area as well

I just spoke to Simone. This was the hardest group buy they've done. There were so many parts in each order and several different models with minor differences. Quite a few people came in later to ask to join the buy, some as late as this week. They're not complaining, they're happy, it was just complex, that's all. And she said Mickfred did a good job with it.

They ended up packing and sending over 600 bushes. The last went out yesterday afternoon, so we should receive them before the weekend.

... and, as a consequence of this buy, Australia is now a bigger market for MX5 bushes than the USA.

Thanks Manga....

I got mine, but only because I was able to pick it up from the manufacturer, who was only 10 minutes from my house.
