Canberra mechanic recommendations?

After a 5 year hiatus from MX5's I've finally succumbed to the world of open top driving again and have lined myself up a pristine NC roadster, which will of course need at least some sort of modifications to keep me happy (any long time posters remember my old Mariner Blue NA6?). Having said that, I'm now looking for recommendations within the Canberra area of who to trust when it comes to suspension and servicing (PM me directly if you have anyone to steer clear of as well). Cheers :beer:

Jon Waterhouse @ Reliance Automotive Fyshwick - they're a Mazda specialist & Jon is good to deal with.

Carco/MX5 solutions at Belconnen. I have been going there for nearly 20years with my MX5s.

I'll second greenMachine' recommendation.
David is a good bloke and has always done the right thing by me.
He's a long standing sponsor of the Canberra chapter of the NSW MX5 Club too.
Carco, 6253 1396, 1 Park St, Belconnen.

following on from this, what tuner would you go to?

im currently daydreaming about a ECO upgrade for eventual turbo and was wondering who around Canberra does adatronic or megasquirt?

Talk to Ed at Autotech Hume. Don't mention the war ... I mean megawhatsit ... but he is cool with adaptronic, he installed my Autronic with a pnp patch harness in the SE, very happy. Tell him I sent you :wink:
