Our Club's technical person is former Club President and Club Captain - Motorsport, Matt King. Matt is a keen motor sport competitor, and has a vast knowledge of the workings of our favourite car.
If you have a specific MX-5 question,
we recommend you talk with a Mazda dealer or check the aus-cartalk forum,
which has a host of technical information on it. You can
also post a question on the forum, which is visited by the
most ardent MX-5 enthusiasts in the country and is bound
to get you the information you need.
There is also a wealth of technical information in the "Garage" section of the "Miata.net" website.
Otherwise, you are welcome to e-mail queries to Matt
and he willl do his best to get you an answer.
Remember, though, that we're all volunteers, so it might
take a little time. And while some of our people know a
great deal about the MX-5, we make no warranties or representations
about any of the information provided.
