Went to do some photo whoring this afternoon. I photographed my mates cars first,and nearly ran outta day light when it came to mine,hence the dark-ish photos.

The MX5 passed the MOT today,so another 12 months of motoring on its way!

Treated myself to a GoPro Hero 3 a few weeks ago. Only just got round to buying a new memory card and have a mess about.

My Mocal 13 row Oil Cooler,Thermostatic Sandwich Plate and Braided lines arrived today:

Will be starting on the re-wiring of the centre console in just over a week's time,so hopefully that'll be done soon :)

You may remember me cutting my dashboard about and the Custom Centre Console i had made up. Me and a friend finally got round to fitting/wiring it!

Heres the long awaited video! The video seriously doesnt do it justice,shes alot louder in person :)

Aha just realized you've got an mx5 after i replied on my thread lol. Love this, its how i want mine to sit. What coilovers you running mate? I've heard you can run MK2's with MK2 top mounts? Also someone told me that the MK2 wing mirrors fit, is this right? Cheers

  • Author

I'm running TA Technix (aka Ebay Cheapies) they're bouncy but got me the lows i wanted :) That is correct you can fit Mk2 coilovers using Mk2 top mounts :)

Not sure on the wing mirrors though

HSD Duel Tech Coilovers :) These will hopefully be fitted Sunday

  • Author

Fitted the new HSDs today and sure wasnt gonna let the Snow stop me, suprisingly didnt take long at all. The longest part was making sure they all sat level

Trying out Flickr as Photobucket is being silly,its not too bad. Just a pain copy and pasting the img links

U selling the old ones mate?

they're sold I'm afraid

Took the car out to help bed the coilovers in on Maximum Soft. Found out i cant even park up a curb :( Thats the scrape marks you can see. Raised the rears 10mm and theres more clearance now,hopefully enough to have it driveable again :)

Took the car to have a full geometry set up. I used the settings posted on Roadster Drift as a guide,except i left the front and rear camber.

8554281809_ee7f5a600c_z.jpg

8554281935_c6e2270e07_z.jpg

Didnt realise how much rear camber i have! This will soon be changed when i get my Wide Arches

Went to Norfolk Arena for the monthly drift practice. First time skidding properly since the car has been turbo'd. The day started off sodding wet with a very muddy track. Didnt take long to get back into the swing of things

8565228341_64d3f42061_z.jpg

The sun came out,track dried out and i was improving alot! First time i had linked the track several times,things were going well!

Until....

8566324494_414b0250cf_z.jpg

I spun out on the Kidney,facing the opposite way. BMW comes round the corner,luckily spotting i had spun so he slows down and straightens up. THEN he decides to clutch kick and hit me :/

8565227203_0222ca4e9d_z.jpg

The car wasnt running right,found out that the Throttle Position Sensor had lost both its screws and air was getting in. Borrowed a screw from something else and it cured it. I rejoined the que and carried on skidding till 5pm,then it was home time

8565226883_95418799bf_z.jpg

8565226983_9031b1932f_z.jpg

Wasnt a bad day in the end,could have been worse. Could have been a rear 1/4

Bits are replaceable, My mates just split a 2 MX5's so shout me if you need parts pretty sure he'll help you out
