Fitted in this video:
· Bofi Racing Billet Clutch Kit – NA/NB 1.8
· Ultra Lightweight Performance Flywheel – Mk1/2.5 1.8
What’s in the Video?
Chris from The MX5 Restorer walks us through:
· A full overview of the clutch issue and gearbox noise
· A look inside the Bofi Racing, flywheel and quick shift kit boxes
· The full fitting process with workshop commentary
· A final test drive, where Chris loses his flaps (literally!)
Watch the moment Chris discovers his bonnet vent flaps have taken flight mid-drive. Yes, you read that right. Watch the video to see Chris lose his flaps!
Why These Upgrades?
· The Bofi clutch delivers firm, predictable engagement ideal for turbo builds
· The ultra-light flywheel sharpens throttle response and reduces drivetrain inertia
· The quick shift kit transforms gear feel for a tighter, sportier shift
The result? A massive improvement in how the Mk1 drives, sounds and feels.
