In this latest installment from the Mighty Car Mods team, the focus remains on the beleaguered MX5, a car that seems to attract trouble like a magnet. From investigating a mysterious white powder in the vehicle (spoiler alert: it's a powder fire extinguisher) to delving into the intricacies of changing fluids, the team is knee-deep in automotive shenanigans. But that's not all; they're also embarking on a mission to install a cutting-edge CarPlay head unit, bringing this classic ride into the modern era.
As the MX5 undergoes a transformation, the debate between Apple Maps and Google Maps rages on, with each member of the team staunchly defending their preferred navigation app. A trip down memory lane reveals a hilarious anecdote involving a Google Maps promotion idea that involves... well, let's just say it's not your typical marketing strategy. Meanwhile, the team grapples with the challenges of removing the stereo, encountering unexpected security bolts that add a layer of complexity to the task.
Amidst the chaos, the team dives headfirst into the nitty-gritty of car maintenance, from removing underbody panels to changing oil filters. The discovery of a shockingly loose oil filter adds a twist to the proceedings, highlighting the unpredictable nature of working on cars. With each step of the process, the MX5 inches closer to its full potential, promising an exhilarating ride once all the upgrades and maintenance tasks are complete. Stay tuned as the Mighty Car Mods team navigates the highs and lows of automotive tinkering, proving that with a bit of elbow grease and a touch of humor, any car can be transformed into a true driving masterpiece.
