marc_p Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Right another few updates for you all, it's nearly there now just a few more things, anyway the latest updates, I've had the rust on the sill removed and part of the sill replaced, I've added a new exhaust system( not sure on the make, I bought it second hand, but it has got the Jasma badge on it), I've put some bonnet pins on it aswell as the movement from the bonnet at higher speeds un-nerved me a bit, I've also had the Tuckin 99 arches added aswell. Couple of pics, please excuse the poor quality, it was starting to get dark: Anyway, as you can see from the pictures, the wheels really don't fill the arches, so I have ordered a set of these from the states in a 15x8 with a 0 offset, and these with the 25mm spacers should fill the arches very nicely. I have also ordered some seats, I've been wanting something to hold me nicely for some time, so I purchased a set of these from the same company: So whats next? Well first up is the colour of the car, the bottom half of it is going black which will also go up and over the arches aswell, then the top half is going white, after that I need a GV front lip, a nice boot lip spoiler, some gadgetry for my rally event in Corsica and do away with the tan interior.

Jake Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Is that a known good mod then, the Cooper S blower onto a MX5? Or are you starting from a blank page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sell crack to kids and do donkey shows;) Is that a known good mod then, the Cooper S blower onto a MX5? Or are you starting from a blank page? Yeah, the Cooper S blower is a popular one to use, there are plently of fitting guides out there for it and adapter plates, all in all with a bit of work you looking at about £400-£500 to supercharge it with the '45. Jackson do a bolt on kit but that's around the £2k mark iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Well I had a nice weekend, got home on friday to find these had arrived: Along with these: So this weekend I set out to have tires put on the new wheels and have them fitted to the car, afterwards I had it looking like this(after more cutting of items and shaving the bumper lip back a bit) : I will have more photo's tomorrow, this is just a quickie I took on my phone before I played about with ride levels and gave it a wax.

marc_p Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Cheers for the comments guys, just a couple of small announcements for this tonight, over the past week I recieved the following: Service Pack to give it a good service this coming Sunday: Some nice leather trim(there is a matching centre armrest console cover aswell but I haven't got a photo of this at the moment): A new steering wheel, however it arrived looking more gray than in the pics in the for sale ad so it is up for sale(for same as what I paid, £30 + delivery if anyone is interested): A carbon gearknob, it is designed for a Civic but a few little adapments saw it fitted nicely: The replacement steering wheel came today, it matches the gaiters perfectly: Some projector headlights so I can get some HIDs: and some small bits including some different valve caps, alluminium bezel and alloy oil cap: I'm still waiting on a standard black handbrake lever(need to get rid of the wood), Garage Vary front splitter and my steering wheel boss. Hopefully I should have some photos at the weekend of everything fitted Really need to get bodywork and paint sorted next after this lot, I'm still intending going white and black (ae86 style) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
