  1. N369 EWG was mine, however its no more! Sold it to Pedz and he broke it for parts when it failed the MOT.
  2. Yeah mate, 15x7j Rays Volk GR-N's I do plan on spacing them at some point to sit flush with the arches, seeing as I've just been offered to have my arches rolled for nothing lol
  3. I completely forgot about this thread lol The car pretty much looks the same as it did in my previous updates, bar a few small additions. Fitted a drift button on the handbrake and some grip tape. New roof fitted as standard vinyl one was giving up the ghost and cracking. Side markers in front and rear bumper now have bulb holders, so they light up amber when the side lights come on. Cat converter slowly died following a coil pack failure and lots flames and fuel going through my exhaust, this got changed for a 200 cell sports cat, it now revs up a lot more freely, sounds better, and pop
  4. How do you cope with riduculously low MX5's and bucket seats?
  5. Cheers buddy Glanza_Cl - I agree with you there, however, I dont wanna go spending out £100+ on hubcentric spacers if I do indeed end up changing the wheels within the next 12 months if I end up keeping them, I'll have another go at polishing the lips and they'll be spaced out flush as I mentioned before
  6. Soooooooooo, lets fill this with some updates Spoiler and boot lid back from paint, very happy with the outcome Following that, I had a crack at refurbing the wheels, took me a few days as I was doing it around other things, but I got there. They're not perfect, there was a lot of corrosion on the lips, but I may well have another crack at polishing the lips once the winter is over Heres one: And on the car: Not much gone on with the car over the past few months, just a few little maintenance bits really and a shit load of cleaning! I fitted a fly off handbrake last week, but h
  7. No, he doesnt. I do ;) lol I love reading this thread when it flags up that its been posted in, theres some mental work going into it, I wish I had the space and skill to build something like this, just for the fun factor when you put your foot to the floor! Keep it up mate!
  8. Yup, The 1.5 Paseo uses the same discs as a Glanza and GT due to its larger engine size. The 1.3 Paseo uses the same discs as the n/a starlets. When I had my old Paseo, I bought 3G Grooved and Dimpled discs off ebay from TM-Developments, they were labelled for a Glanza and went straight on fine.
  9. Cheers dude, I'll be loving it more when its back on lol, doesnt look so good in the garage half rubbed down while I'm sorting the joins out.
  10. Cheers guys Bought myself a centre console/arm rest from a face lift model today, the hinge on my cubby hole broke and the ones on the face lift have a smaller cubby, but 2 extra sections as cup holders, whereas mine doesnt. Plus the facelift one looks nicer haha. So that'll be in as soon as it gets here. Got the day off tomorrow as well so gonna spend some time on the spoiler/bootlid and hopefully get it sorted, then I can send it off to a mate to have it painted
  11. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I havent updated this in a while. I havent used the site much recently, for some reason it kept logging me out everytime I left the site or refreshed on the main page, so I got fed up of logging in every 5 mins, but it seems to have sorted itself out now Got hold of a set of the MK2.5 rear spats, so I painted those up and fitted them Then just before Japfest, I picked up a Carbing style front towing eye and a Richbrook Sabre aerial to get rid of the pole that was originally there My ducktail finally turned up, so I put it on quickly for Japfest, b
  12. When I had my Paseo back in the day, I started off at £900 tpft in my mums name with me as named driver. Stayed like that for 2 years. Once I had my license for 2 years, I got it insured for £740 tpft in my name with all mods declared. Came down to £680 when I renewed and had 1 years ncb, that was with sky insurance was on a pretty good deal through them, unlimited mileage, with them as long as the modifications dont increase the performance, they dont increase the price, visual mods dont affect the premium. They knew about everything on mine, and didnt even charge m
  13. GotBoost are epic, Craig really knows his shit, he takes the time to explain everything to you and how to get the most out of the engine to help power increases. I've heard nothing but good reviews about him. He mapped my friends supercharged 1.6 MX5, its running well within the realms of fueling safety and its the most powerful 1.6 mx5 running the m45 known! Personally, I wouldnt take my car to any one else. And when I go F.I on my mx5 next year hopefully, Craig will be doing the mapping
  14. Theres more than just the one road mate, I went up there before and spent a good hour or so driving, never covered the same patch twice
  15. Yes, the black mountain is quite an epic drive to be fair ;) Or, if you fancy the drive and the weather is good, there are some epic beaches in Swansea Or, there's always Folly Farm down near Carmarthen
  16. Thats what I'm trying to get Sam, but their like rocking horse shit to get, Mazda dealer reckon they cant get hold of them so I'm just looking out for a set now
  17. All in good time Lew, Hopefully next year, I've got the interior to sort out first, upgrade the brakes and lines, ARB's, and then I'll be saving for the charger!
  18. Indeed, I painted the inner head light trim between the lense and the reflector, looks much better Cheers Jason, Its hopefully gonna carry on to be quite as good, exterior is almost done, turning to the interior next
  19. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice, always loved the look on Supras. I drove one once, was an N/A auto and only moved it in and out of the workshop at my old work lol. Friend of mine had an Aero Top version, which was N/A Auto, which is now Manual Twin, except he's killed the turbo's so he's gathering parts for a single conversion lol
  20. Cheers guys, Got bored the past few days, trying to do stuff to avoid uni assignments, see if you can guess what I've done (Anyone who saw my facebook statuses is exempt from the guessing game )
  21. Best choice I made was buying this, as harsh as it sounds, from the moment I put my foot down in it for the first time I've never missed driving the Paseo. The '5 is much superior in the handling and power departments, plus its just an epic car in total lol
  22. Soooooooooo The LSD I bought turned out to be a 1.6 diff, so I've sold that and bought a proper TorSen LSD from a 1.8 which is now fitted Exhaust arrived, me and Sparky went on a road trip to Bristol to get it and its now fitted. Picked up a set of OEM sport skirts and OEM sport lip, dont see many MK2's around with these on, but it sets it off pretty well! Got a ducktail spoiler coming, and I'm still trying to sort out a passenger side mudguard as I've got the drivers one already but they're a nightmare to get hold of! Anyway.... Heres some quick pics, I didnt expect to be going out to
  23. Take care of it, this and my old Paseo were considered the twins, so if anything happens to it, me and Mikey will come beat you Plans sound good, that only needs a few touches to set it off properly and it will look even better than it does now. Do the one thing that Mikey should've done but never did, get rid of that awful manifold heat shield, and replace the mani with an OBX 4-2-1, you'll need to move the cat back about a foot or have the downpipe cut and welded to the cat, but its so worth it, engine bay looks a lot smarter with it.
