Driver Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Little update ........1st purchase is a nice new towing eye to replace the horrible tie down hooks.Then i decided to sell it but if it hasnt sold by the time the advert runs out on pistonheads im keeping it ;) (unless personal circumstances change ofcourse)however these come up for sale ......So i bought them and they came with a set of 4 R888s ;) Will do a trackday on them then sell tyres on.However i need some slimmer wheel nuts So off they came and back onto the standard "daisies"Who said Mx5s are impracticle ...Coming back about 20 miles from having tyres took off the wheels like this Then i sprayed the towing eye up with some vauxhall red i "borrowed" from a friendHorrible "baby teeth"Baby Teeth RemovedWrap up towing eye to stop damage during fittingHmmmm doesnt look quite right.....Thats better ;) Now wrap up old towing eyes incase i decide to go back standard, and store in a cool dry place (ferret shed)And this is how she stands at the moment our "Mia"Untill the wheel nuts arrive and i can bolt my Rota Circuit 8s on C&C Welcome ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Small Update ...Oil and Filter change as not sure when it was last done (service history up to 2007 only )All went smoothly and oil that come out was still fairly clean !Foamectomy done on base and back of seat (remove some foam so i can sit 1" lower and 1" further back )Best free mod I've done !10/10 for value for money.Also my wheel nuts turned up so bolted my Rota Circuit 8s on :woohoo: Only for my track day (cadwell park) tomorrow, then there back off untill i clean them up and put some more "daily" friendly tyres on (currently R888s)Hopefully start spendign more money soon Done my trackday Was AWESOME !!!!!!Fairly confident i was in top 10 (maybe5) fastest cars through corners but in bottom 5 of straight line power Need more power like soon !!!!And now back on standard wheels (daisies)As my R888s arent really daily driver friendly ha Rotas will be back on as soon as i can be bother to order some T1rs for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Driver Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Mini UpdateUk sized long plates are quite obviously gay, the fact my car only has room for these was abit gayer.So Jdm sized plates needed sorting !After trying for abit and being outbid on ebay numerously at over £50 i was begining to loose hope untill i saw one only in milton keynes (2 hour drive from me) collection only ! so thought if i get it less then a £10er then £40 in fuel to collect it and it be about right. Won it for £2.19 :D phoned him and offered to post it for another £9.99 WIN ! so for £12.18 i got my Eunos rear panel Needs paint but there all wrong colour anyway so knew id have to do this Thats all for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me, Jase, You and Joshyboy ! (although joshyboy doesnt really count as he bought a nb ha)Going to have to coilovers i think, a friend of mine has contacts in Gaz and i was thinking about running the same setup as the origonal cup cars but the meisters are looking most likely at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
