take care the bush at the shock cap, don't let it turn around and against the cap, otherwise the cap will be worn out quickly before the bush should be replaced.

keep spare oil seal in your tool box, this can be damaged if hit hard but will not be as worst as XB8

i just replaced the fuel tank becoz the filter dropped off and found no way to put it back, it happened to my buddy's MX5 as well, the filter is threaded onto the tube, i wonder if it is caused by too much punch

the front lower arm is rarely broken even by hitting hard but just bent, i tried to get it back to shape by heating it up in baker and pressing on flat surface with weight until cool down, no problem and saved my some bucks

if you got a pro then pay attention on both the torque braces, the screw to chassis must be screwed tight, don't just rely on the stock nut, double nuts may be better
