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 front

and got a hard top yesterday for the nice sum of £200 here's a pic

Nothing much to report, but picked up the Soundboard which was new in box! Haven't got a fitted pic yet but here is the one from the ebay ad

Also received and fitted the NArdi knob, pretty good condition too, slightly heavier and shifts really nicely

Now trying to source some short height OEM sideskirts, may also go the Mazdaspeed rear lip and OEM front lip

For those new to the 5, it would look like this

This is the rear Mazdaspeed lip

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)

Got the new headunit in rather nice it is too, just waiting to fit my JL Audio 2 channel amp and get the right style bar to fit my rear Soundboard speakers. 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 hole

Also think i have a lead on the sideskirts and asking a few people on the lips.
