Still go these bits to fit:
- Tein lowering springs
- Track Dog Racing oil pressure kit
Braided brake lines + 5.1 fluid
- Braided clutch lines + 5.1 fluid
HEL braided brake lines
HEL braided clutch line
Fit lowering springs and new bumpstops
Fit competition engine mounts
Fit SuperPro diff void fillers
Still looking for a good aftermarket exhaust manifold too. Sound system is in but not without its problems, get the usual alternator whine and speakers pop when I turn the stereo on or off - sigh getting closer though. Also changed over to PIAA wiper blades had great success with those on the Starlet, hope they will be the same here.

awesome stuff dude
-
Found on ebay, just after a set of Rays 5/4s went for 70 odd quid, spotted these
-
def agree use all the wiring from the 98 its quite methodically well layed out to be fair
-
Got the wheels back, looking rather tidy I think, def need to get it lowered and those brakes painted soon though!
-
I used ones from the Ford Maverick on my mX5, may not be too far off may just need one little plastic fixing removed from the washer jet underside, about £4 a side from Ford
-
Sport alloys are in the shop being sprayed a dark grey, so should be quite smart against the silver, the Toyo T1Rs are in the shop with them so will be good to roll once painted up
This weekend also managed to get the amp fitted and tucked away behind the panel in the boot, with all the wiring to the head unit and cabin done. Ran all the cabling for the crossovers in and all seems to be working ok, just haven't had a chance to connect the crossovers to the door speakers yet - the weather decided to end play early
-
awesome stuff man haven't seen this in a while - how you been?
-
Just blank the holes off mate
-
Got very little done today, got the speakers fitted in the door but the wiring has yet to be completed, shouldn't be too much of a job but was on a deadline today, hope to get the chance asap to have my tunes back!
So...

Nope, keeping the wheels charcoal respray tho, dropped about an inch on springs to follow
-
Didn't so too badly yesterday, got the interior mirror fitted, looks like this
Fantastic piece of kit and such easy fitment and instructions, really impressed with mazda. Also got the Ford spray washer jets done and washed the car.
Monday will attempt the sound system upgrade.

Uprate engine mounts

That is not a genuine TRD cap to my knowledge
-
Truly disgusting that people can even contemplate doing things like this
Sickening.
-
I would man, but i'm trying to be good...trying very hard - how's the new motor?
-
yea i quite like the back ones too, not too sure as to plans - would like some warm weather so i can get some of my parts in like the new amp and speakers, also maybe the electric dimming mirror and external temp display
power wise not too sure, air filters don't do much on n/a mx5s so i'll prob avoid that, but would like a set of competition bushes for the engine and tranny. If I can hunt one down to an autoexe/mazdaspeed/maxim works header would be a good shout.
She also needs a new set of rubber and may get the wheels re-done a dark graphite/anthracite colour to tie it all in together
-
The lights will soon go
from...
...to
should finish the exterior off nicely, have a set of front and rear light covers, but still undecided, like on this red one
front...
and back...
just not sure
-
Another two down sigh - had to do the 24hr Le Mans race for the Audi
-
Got the clear rear light on her last night
Found out you can de-red the original lights but it will take the same amount of work as splitting the headlights, so decided against it and got this one on instead, love the balanced up rear end now
