ripped_fear Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) After a good evenings drive I shredded a belt, both were very old. So changed them both out and the car is back perfect. As celebration I took the car out and bought some second hand hsd Coilovers that need a good clean up then went for a good hoon.

ripped_fear Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Spent a couple of hours today making some flat door cards. Only got the one side done. Gives a nice few inches of space in the cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Coming along nicely! Those door cards look great for a DIY and really suit the car. Look forward to more updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Managed to get my mx2 rails fitted up today with some Custom plates Hope they will sit a tad lower than stock but need to test fit now. First seats need a good clean and a couple of small holes stitching up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 They need a wet vac but they are in Also started stripping some. More weight out of it, windbreak, sun visors, obviously the heavy seats, and some random trims. More to come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ditched the oem clock in favour of some guage space. Cut up some carbon I had kicking around for a surround and jobs a good'un. Need to order 2 more guage now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Looking good, loved my old MK1 MX-5, amazing cars and still one of the most fun cars I have ever owned! One thing (there’s always one d**k with a negative point haha) is that I wouldn’t recommend those seats, I had them once before, granted they are cheap but I found them bloody uncomfortable and didn’t hold me very well, personally I’d be looking at side mounted seats like the Cobra Imolas which aren’t too bad 2nd hand. Then again, it’s your car, do what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
