Small Update:

Went for a Sunday afternoon 'drive' and accidently on purpose came across a nice piece of land. Wasnt going to leave without a video!

New Steering Wheel:

And Fitted:

Needed a crash helmet for drifting at Norfolk Arena,so purchased one of these:

Also purchased a Hard Top roof spoiler. Usually these are imported from the U.S but someone in the UK has designed their own and has started to sell them. I was lucky enough to be 1 of 5 to get one from the first batch. These photos are from the original sale topic so you can see what it'll be like. (I've received mine,just need to get the Hard Top painted before fitting it)

And another from google:

Also ordered myself a GoPro HD Hero to help capture my drifting and some other stuff :) Also bought Adobe Premier Elements 9 to help edit the videos :)

Gosh, been a busy boy then! GoPros are wicked btis of kit, i've used one a couple of times and the wide angle lens is great!

Tested my new GoPro on the Micra today as the MX5 was having some work done to it...

Went out today and done a video testing out the GoPro on the MX5. Dont forget to watch it in HD :)

Nice vid! 1080p ftw

Got informed today that the Drifting at Norfolk Arena on the 11th Feb has been moved back a week and its now on the 18th Feb. This now gives me more time to do some lil bits and pieces before the event. A small update:

Number Plate Bracket (because i've bent my other one)

Stickers!

Also won some Clear Side Repeaters off Ebay last night for £10 posted! :)

Received my Superlites back from my mate today

Tiny bit of Stretch:

Will fit them Sunday and will of course whore out with photos :p

I wasnt going to let the Snow beat me,so decided to fit the wheels haha

Rear Arch

Front Arch

Looks epic

Always had a thing for these mx5's :)

Have fun in the snow?

Shes been tucked up the drive since the snow has come. I think the welded diff would be mental in the snow. With the next drift event in under 2 weeks time,i thought it was best to not go and have some fun incase i hit something or someone hits me :(

Well this is awesome!

It looks like so much fun! Good on you for getting a GoPro too, the vids come out great!

UAZ: a good solid Belfast reg

Evening Mike!

Thank you for the kind words :) I knew the plate was Irish but never knew where abouts it was registered. I was gonna get it changed to a UK one,but that would be boring,and i quite like it now :)

A slightly boring update i'm afraid:

Fitted my new number plate bracket,as i bent the other one (oops...!)

Stole some chrome sill plates from the girlfriend's MX5

Fitted Clear Side Repeaters

And a random photo outside work:

I'm off to the local MX5OC meet Sunday,so should grab some good photos from then :)

Last night we wound the rear coilovers another 38mm (approx)

Went to the MX5OC meet today,here are a couple of photos

Had to do the Phone test! (phone is a Blackberry Bold 9700 for comparison)

Another epic day at Norfolk Arena! Was definately alot better this time round! Weather held out till lunch time then the heavens opened up,which certainly made things interesting!

The day was going very well untill some dickhead in a Yellow E36 decided to drive into me. I was taking a line on the outside of the track and he was in the inside,i went into the kidney corner and spun,and he hit me straight on. I'm fine,walked away with no injuries,but the car needs work as you can see...

I've already sourced a new door locally which i should be picking up next week

Photos courtesey of Mark

Superlites look sweet. Love this car! Ever thought about putting the arch trim kit on it? Reckon it'll look good

Gutted about the crash man!

Thanks :) I did think about the wide arches,but its been done (ALOT) and i'd need different wheels

Video from Saturday's Drift Practice,i make an appearance at 1:07 :)

Its shamefull to admit this,but i bought some Lexus Lights :( Won them at a bargain price on Ebay due to one being damaged.

Heres a photo of the damaged one (you can see the damage on the left edge)

Some time spent with some materials and cans...

Not bad for a grand total of £21.00 :)

Small update!

Rear lights fitted before and after

Both fitted

Started work on the wing removal. Managed to get majority of the wing free except 1x 10mm nut by the door hinge and 3x 10mm nuts inside the wing (nearest the headlight). After using ratchet extensions,heat gun,loooads of WD40 the damn things wouldnt budge.

The wing was no good anyway,so out came the tin snips and i cut the damn thing off! With aid of some mole grips to stop the spinning bolt head,the wing was off!

Then had the same isses on the other side. Apprently the bumper needs to come off to remove the wing,but without removing 2 outta 3 of the 10mm nuts,the bumper wasnt coming off!

Alot of swearing later,the bumper was finally off! Who ever designed the MX5 needs to be shot! If i ever have to do this job again,i'm scrapping the car! What a complete nightmare!

It was then time to remove the window motor,regulator,door handle & lock and glass over to the other door. Half way through i forgot how the door mech went but got there in the end :)

Got the door fitted but it catches,will have look another day :)

UPDATE!

Got the wing and door all fitted and i've been upto something else aswell...

CRIKEY!

Crazy! Love it! Needs something though...not quite sure

looks great! i love the rear lights!

Yessss!!! Now you need satin black rivet on arches and some fat hoops :-)

Being serious now though that looks cool. Satin sports car is hard to pull off and the decals make it work.

High five.
