What camera did you use to take those pics? Has it got a fisheye lens or it is just fisheye effect?

Fuji finepix, pretty old now but does the job great... and yeah had a fish eye lens attachment on for the last two :o

cheers man, these have some mean amount of grip round the corners but give it some and they slide great! bit harder to slide now with the 15x8 ET0's but i like a challenge :D

Found a Arc roll bar for a good price and decided it would match my bling wheels so had to have it. Fitted it today (kinda) need to drill out holes for the spreader plate and bolt them in but this pic gives you an idea :).

Update

Sourced a TopSpeed exhaust for free :( , well it cost me a full tank of fuel and a road trip to Bristol to meet up with mx5 forum member Dave Mitchall and his supercharged mx5 but was good to give the old girl a good running

Expecting Bristolians to all sounds like farmers i was slightly disappointed when i found they didnt lol! Swapped exhausts, had a spin in Daves supercharged MX5 (which was awesome!) then set off on my way again. exhaust sounds eeeeepic! not to Ott but defiantly a bit of an animal. :(

Next up is to order a silenced decat from mx5parts when they come back in stock next week, that should calm some of the low down rasp thats being created with my current decat.

(exhaust in question:

Decided to foamectomy my drivers seat yesterday, so back padding came out although i'm undecided on the lower seat padding as i'm only 5ft 8 and dont really need to sit any lower . Feels so much more supportive though! a real improvement for sure

Received my Stock fuel regulator from mx5 forum scrap guru Junkyarddog, so quickly fitted that this morning to see if it would eradicate some annoying whine my FSE regulator was making, Concultion.... problem sorted!! :) .

i'l pop up some pictures when I'm feeling motivated enough to find my camera

cool stuff mate :) im looking at exhausts but i think im guna get a custom made one , just like my starlets with some angle on it!

quick question...

the raceland coilovers you have are they? are they stiff ? i think i will have to be getting some if they step up to the mark :(

cheers josh

considering how cheap you can pick up a used exhaust a custom will cost a bomb, but if you want something really specific in look and sound then maybe a custom is your best bet.

I love the racelands... most comfortable coilovers i have had to date. softer then BC's... and they go soft lol. only downside is there not damp adjustable, although you could pre load the springs a bit if you wanted it stiffer.

I would defiantly pick either the racelands or Rockkor's for a daily drive that you want low :) (same make different name)

sorted then dude :p. just make sure it has a silencer mid section as these engines rasp like a mofo with a straight through exhaust! :thumbsup:

Can sound amazing! but i'm getting a bit old to draw that much attention to myself lol, hence trying to source a silenced decat to help noise levels.

Right time for a much needed update!:

Roof is fiiiiinaly painted black, also got the chance to fit my G wing roof spoiler :)

Think the stance is allmost perfect just need to get the back lower but currently my exhaust needs adjusting as it scrapes on everything haha.

Fitted my offset number plate bracket and pressed plate, resprayed my grill matt black while i was at it.

snapped my electic window cable so decided to buy a whole new door and use the complete electric mechanism from that and while i was there i stole the window as mine was scratched then decided to nab the door handle as the chrome plating was coming of mine... so basicaly took everything but the skin from another door :)
