Hello again Con,
Thanks for your illuminating reply.
The Racing Beat muffler that you have on your 10.. did you get this from Moss in America ? Or is it available in Australia ? Do you have one of these mufflers on your other MX5 too ?
I think everyone who follows this Forum would be thinking how excellent it is that you've 'come out of the woodwork' ! Others might now feel encouraged to follow your example !
Cheers from a slowpoke

I've got one, No. 5522 and it's done around 114,000kms, I have done some mods to it but everything can be undone and I have all the original parts.

The only thing that would make me sell it would be a 20AE but I think I'm pretty safe there!!

I know of at least 4 others in Qld, we had 4 on the one club run once, only time I haven't felt special :D
10AE #5522, Blue, the only colour to have. Every K over is a thriller

I heard a whisper somewhere, but have NOT been able to substantiate it since, that another MX5 'upgrade' is coming around September.
C'man93 suggested that at that time PERHAPS the 20AE might make it's appearance.... ??

Hi,
I got the RB muffler thru their website. Mike Liao and Jim Langer where exceptionally helpful. Unlike a couple of suppliers here in Sydney, not returning phone calls or email inquires. The muffler landed at my door step in five days from the time they received my bank transfer. The quailty and sound of the muffler is exceptional, I highly recommend it. I'll attach a few photos of the muffler and grille once I've worked out how to, as this is all Greek to me. I don't have a RB muffler on my daily drive, as it's slighty loud. I like to keep peace with my neighbours.

Cheers,

Con

I will always have a soft spot for the 10AE. It was a great little car!
