Managed to grab a set of Toyota Coil On Plugs at a very good price. Even better that the wiring has already been sorted Been collecting a box of parts ready Today (Weds 4th Jan) i was finally able to degrease the block inbetween the rainy showers. Theres a few smaller areas that need...

Certainly not the most exciting christmas present you'd usually receive,but i'm thankful :) Received an engine stand and a 1.6 UK long nose engine. Compression is very good 198/202/210/210. Plans are to strip it down and clean everything up with a lick of paint or powder coat. Will also be...

Headed into the city where a new light tunnel had been put up. Would have been rude not to get some snaps

Its been a busy few weeks with the new Silver project... New Caliper New Rear Brake Pads New Handbrake cable HIDs removed Horn wired up All broken interior trim replaced While i was tidying up the wiring under the steering column (its got a black box with a loom attached,but most of the loom...

I happen to be browsing through eBay looking at parts and came across a listing for an MX5. Price was pretty good,but it needed some TLC,myself and the other half had talked about getting a joint project for awhile but it never really happened. I contacted the seller and arranged to view the car...

Package from Garagestar :D In May my AEM wideband failed (gauge was stuck on 14.7) Got the car on the ramps and found out the plug had melted along with part of the loom. Fitted a new sensor and loom,but the gauge was reading leaner than normal. After trying a different gauge and taking the...

With the Electric Window conversion done and dusted i ordered some Stainless Switches from Jass Performance A few weeks ago I met up with a friend who owns a local Media Company (BN Media). They've just bought some new equipment that allows them to record in 4K,so they invited me along to...

Oops forgot the video link

It doesn't sound like a massive job (or exciting) but i've fitted Electric Windows. The headache was trying to wire up the Mk2.5 switch to the Mk1 loom. With the help from Mazda-Menders,i got it sorted and with a Mk2 switch it works as it should. My latest purchase was some LED Garage Vary...

A couple of months ago i got chatting to YasidDesign about an illustration of the MX5. I wanted something touge related to take the car back to its roots,but with its current appearance. Finally got round to shortening the centre fins on the diffuser,haven't hit anything since haha...

As of late i haven't been washing the car as often as i'd like to. So took the opportunity to give it a once over and get some recent photos I stupidly reversed into a curb and bent the diffuser. Next job is to remove it and cut the middle fins down to prevent it happening again

Made some new Canards,this time out of 2mm aluminium and 2mm steel for the brackets (previous ones were 0.8 aluminium for both). Made them abit bigger too,now i need to re-do the splitter and make that bigger too haha Had a change around with the hard top screen and purchased some...

Oh i forgot to add that i received my photos from the track day at Lotus Test Track. I'm not happy with the quality of the images,tried to improved them with Adobe Lightroom but when the original image is bad,theres not much you can do.

Small update I finally got round to replacing the front Rota RKR 8js for some 9js The HSDs got bedded in,new RKRs fitted and then a full geometry done I've got the car booked in next week for a new exhaust back box to be made along with some other bits and pieces...

While out driving i noticed some steam coming from the front of the car,originally thinking it was the car in front being abit smokey. After some inspection it was the hose coming off the Water Pump,i knew it was close to the manifold,but didnt realise it was touching. I've been lucky as its...

My other half bought me a new steering wheel for Christmas,was a good excuse to order some new bolts too Just before Christmas i headed over to a local company that sells spares and performance parts for Lotus. I guess a perk of where i live is the Lotus factory isn't too far either. I...

Finally got round to adjusting the coilovers (lowered the front 10mm and raised the rear 5mm). The Works were catching on the rear arches,rather than fitting new tyres (going from a 205/50 to a 195/50) it was easier to raise it. So the Works went back on the car to test for clearance and so far...

Received the second package from Garage Star,this time a pair of door bushings and a Thermostat sandwich plate. Got the door bushings fitted. The doors definately have that nicer shut noise,but on the odd occasion they need a firmer push to shut them. I guess in time they'll wear abit and it...

The back end is finally finished after dodging the poor weather for what seems like weeks on end. It seemed this was going to certainly test my patience,and it did. What ever i done,another problem would arise,but i got there in the end. By no means is it perfect and/or functional,but i like...
