    Some people have no taste You would probably hate my s13 then ca18det with a nurspec but I love it. Although im probably on my own on not thinking rbs sound particularly great much prefer a vtec or boxer engine.

    Good to see your still enjoying her Madda, im still loving mine.

    Got some coilovers going on soon and will get a GV lip to complete the exterior. Keep it simple with the MX5.

    I dont like the noises being made in the links you posted Itek



    Adam,

    Glad to see you listened to advice and sold on those rusty piece of shit coilovers you bought first time round!

    Im trying to get the car out to have a play but the GV Lip is my main obstacle!

    Fair enough madda exhaust noise is a personal opinion anyway Quick question slightly off topic but did your rb swap make much difference to the handling on your car you can pm if you want to stop cluttering this thread?

    Its not exhaust note, its supercharger whinnnneeeee I love

    No need to clutter thread, its an easy answer, been covered loads on here, so just search. But in short, no, in made it better (for drifting), I just went for slightly harder springs on the front (apex coilovers at the time).

    PM if you want to continue on this topic

    Hey all, haven’t updated this for a while and have recently made some changes

    As the weather was good on the weekend (for a change) I got the roof down and concentrated on the interior bits I have waiting

    First were the clocks. Not normally a fan of white dials, but I thought I would give these a go and am very happy with the results:




    Next up was my bucket seat. I had never liked the Monaco range so it needed to go. I opted for a side mount Cobra Suzuka and by mounting it in a fixed position I have got it superlow and love the new driving position






    I have a huge list of exterior mods waiting, including rear lip (or Bomex bumper, cant decide), sideskirts, cooling panel, stainless steel wiper cowling, hardtop.

    ….and I said I wasn’t going to mod this one

    lol, its still standard honest

    Looks nice mate! I have decided that i dont wanna spend a silly ammount on a fast car (lol i will) so im thinking either stripped mx5 or stripped mr2 roadster (i know they are ugly but i love them after watching the best motoring one years ago)

    Time for a little update. The car has been off the road since January to keep the salt off it.

    During this time it has been living at my mappers so he could play with it whenever he gets a spare 5mins. End result is a much better cold start (it wasn't bad before, but I wanted it perfect which is always a problem with standalone ecu's) and an extra 15bhp!! www.gotboost.co.uk

    Now 216bhp, of the most laggless drivable fun I have ever had

    Next stop, full respray before Japfest all being well.

    I would never be happy if I had a colour swap so it's staying silver, but not the stock colour

    Oi oi Si, don't say that. I am already sliding on thin ice. You were more than happy on the day.

    Note the tyres in the pics, they were an investment to ensure I behave I will not slide, I don't want to miss out on comparing my stock mx5 times from last year on the hill to this one.
