SiCaln Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) So enter the new motor, Elsie, a Sunlight Silver 52 plate MK2.5 SV-T Sport with 57k on the clock:Pick her up on saturday, and the idea is to just drive a car that doesn't need work or modding all the time. i have failed already, as i have ordered new side repeaters, reflectors and brackets for the hard top. But I'll change the no modding to simply sensible, cheap modding. It's £300 less on insurance already so that's a start but more on tax.I'm thinking, braided brake and clutch lines, K&N filter, Nardi gear knob to match steering wheel, single DIN stereo and cubby and maybe put in my Nakamichi crossovers.JAG took a couple of pics of Elsie at a recent meet, I have changed all indicators to silvatec ones and changed the side repeaters to clear and the reflectors to red at the rear, clear at the frontand got a hard top yesterday for the nice sum of £200 here's a picCurrently just looking for the Nardi knob, have also ordered cubby hole and speaker adapters may also get speakers for roll bar, and a cheap set of sideskirts if some come up Suspension/HandlingUprated Polybush ARB linksMazdaspeed 3-point strut brace with MBCSToyo T1-R tyres (205/45 R16)ExteriorMazdaspeed Miata front lipTrack Dog Racing air splitterMazdaspeed Miata rear lipMazdaspeed Miata MX5 rear badgeOEM Mazda MX5 MK2 side skirtsOEM Mazda MX5 MK2 rear mudflapsOEM Mazda MX5 rear spoilerOEM Mazda MX5 Hard topOEM Mazda MX5 Sport alloys resprayedClear side indicators with Silvatec indicator bulbs(side, rear)OEM Mazda MX5 chrome side indicator ringsClear front side reflectorsRed rear side reflectorsJDM rear lights (no red cover on fog)PIAA satin black wipers with spoilerFull respray in standard colourBlack paint for inside headlightsAll bulbs upgraded to Osram NighbreakersEngineMazdaspeed oil capMazdaspeed radiator capMazdaspeed back boxRelocated Suzuki Cappucino washer bottleK&N panel air filterUltra red ignition leadsMitsuba Alpha hornTrack Dog Racing oil pressure kitSpare MX5 mk2.5 cam cover sprayed crackle redSpare MX5 mk2.5 inlet manifold sprayed silverIL Motorsport uprated engine mountsMaxim mk2 exhaust manifoldMazda MX5 mk2 centre pipe with cat TransmissionFlyin Miata Happy meal clutch kit with lightweight flywheelHEL braided clutch lineSuperPro diff void fillersDoctorMX5 silicone gear shift bootBrakesMazdaspeed Brake Cylinder Stopper on strut braceHEL braided brake linesPagid 5.1 brake fluidRodders Motorsport padsBlack paint for brake callipersInteriorNardi steering wheelNardi gear knobOEM style bar with soundboardOEM auto-dipping mirror with compass and external temp gaugeNew leather handrake gaiterNew leather gear lever gaiterOEM MX5 floor matOEM MX5 boot floor matOEM Mazda emergency kitOEM single DIN cubby holeMaxdaspeed pedal setAudioKenwood KDC-BT92SD head unitJL Audio XD200/2 2 channel ampNakamichi PC-100 CrossoversNakamichi SP-10 tweetersNakamichi SP-50 5.25" mid range driversRear soundboardButton for stopping aerial go upParts received but not fittedMK2 Torsen LSDMazdaspeed style bar (make fit with glass rear window)Carbon Miata Seat Belt extendersRacing Beat Sway bar brace kitOrderedNowt WantedNothingWork in ProgressDecisions Edited February 10, 2015 by SiCaln Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Driver Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 People slate them all the time but i had a stock NA6 and it was an awesome drivers car, so much feedback it almost feels as though its a car suit and you can do whatever you want. Then threw some sticky tyres on some track wheels and was untouchable theough the bends on a track day (then over taken by everyone on the straight haha) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also received a set of HEL braided lines for the clutch and the brakes so will be stopping properly soon.Here's the headunit fitted with the cubby holeAlso think i have a lead on the sideskirts and asking a few people on the lips.
