* Copied and pasted from the Skyline forum * Time was drawing in closer for when i break my Supercharged MX5 ready to fund an R34 GTT. I wouldnt be a true car enthusiast if i wasn't already looking for cars on the interweb. My fingers were starting to hurt after refreshing various selling and...

The time had come to start stripping the car, it went extremely smoothly and we ended up doing it all in 2 days. My friend Matt purchased the shell, he has previously built 2x drift MX5s both 1JZ powered,S14 rear subframe,skyline diff etc etc. He's been wanting a car that had history and...

So today myself and Lu embarked on a 7hr round trip to go view a car. Turned out the car was just as clean in person as it was in the photos. After a test drive and another poke around the car i made an offer and he accepted! Nissan Skyline R34 GTT Series 2 RB25DET Manual 94k Miles (speedo...

Some photos from recent shows/meets/outings taken by me and others

Its with a heavy heart i write this, but I feel I've reached a point where it's time to move on from the Purple Monster. The project needs a lot more money spent before it's finished and unfortunately I feel reluctant to spend it. The car will be broken in September, that way I can still enjoy...

Cant believe it was 1 week ago we painted the MX5! Finally had a clear evening to take some photos

It was an early start this morning, it was time to paint the Silver MX5 (yay!) A friend lent us his unit and all his tools and equipment for the day. Progress went extremely well and we were ready to paint by lunch time. We used Gloss Graffiti paint supplied by Illuminarty, the finish is very...

The silver MX5 was originally purchased as a daily car but also a joint mini project between me and the other half. As you can see the car has turned into a whole new project. I've now given my half of the car to the other half so its now hers. But i'll keep on updating with the build progress...

We finally got a day off with some decent weather so got a chance to have a look at the front arches/fenders. At first glance it was quite obvious what the problem was... The lip had folded out on itself and was cutting into the tyre. I tried to cut the original metal higher,but I couldn't get...

With the dilemma of the wheels spacers, I thought it'd be best to sell the Watanabes and buy another set of wheels. As much as it pained me to advertise them, they sold within a few hours and I got the full asking price. So I spent today playing around with wheels and seeing what would fit...

I guess the term 'daily driver' should be used loosely now, as the car has turned into a project in itself lol You may remember us picking up the damaged Mazdaspeed Bumper. The original intention was to have a go repairing it myself, but lack of time prevented this so I dropped it off to a local...

For a month or so I've had problems with the Purple MX5 not starting and the battery going flat. I originally put it down to lack of use and the cold weather. The battery died again last weekend so I fitted a new one and it still wouldn't start. So I got the car up in the air and found the...

An MX5Nutz member kindly sent me an original owners handbook I also had another book arrive,this time from Japan and purchased through JDMparts Rupewrecht The Mazdaspeed obsession continued when i stumbled across a damaged A-Spec Type 1 bumper only a couple of hours away The middle of...

Some photos of it all fitted I also got bored and painted up a spare Xbox One controller to match the livery of the car lol

Browsing through the interweb looking at stuff when i get a notification pop up saying https://www.facebook.com/jdmpartsrupewrecht/]JDMParts.rupewrecht had posted an item. Followed the link and it was a Mazdaspeed Trap Timer. I've only seen a handful of photos of this device and i missed out on...

Sorry,i meant attendance for our club stand. The show itself was pretty big,but the areas around the hall and barns felt empty

The 1st September marked 4 years since my previous MX5 caught fire. On the 10th Sept it'll also be 4 years since i got the Purple MX,wow how time flies! The weekend just gone saw the return of JAE (Japanese Auto Extravaganza), the UK's only 4 day jap show. It was also a year ago i had the...
