New wheels look great Dave!
There's a set of 16x8 +20 Rota Grid's for sale on gumtree that I've been eyeing off recently. This just makes me want them more now!

Sure they're different but a set of 2nd hand NB8A wheels are what all the cool kids will be rockin' this summer. :mrgreen:

Gave mine a good thrashing today at the Winton 6 hour. Great fun and a credit to everyone who organised it.

Was busy! Sand down filled chips, paint lip, fit lip, machine buffed car and waxed, finished (almost, works, charges and plays music, needs some foam inside as support and to hide visible innards!) iPhone dock, CF vinyl wrapped wing mirrors.... Phew!

Wow those 2 bumper photos look like an advertisement for pimple cream, the final result is awesome.

You can still see the big ones up very close but it is miles better

Got my MX5 a few weeks ago, tinkering has started!

Fixed my power windows and central locking on the weekend.

Installed a Whiteline rear swaybar after work on Monday;

Received my GWR RoadsterSport Q today.
Fitted it tonight. Easier than I thought.
Looks great and sounds awesome.

Switched off the engine management light by disconnecting the battery, holding the brake pedal down for 30 seconds and reconnecting.

It's the method suggested on one of the USA forums. Seems to work for about two tankfuls then the light comes back on again. Can't blame the car - I know it's running rich off idle and that this is what the code is. When the light's on I just reckon it's telling me I've got an engine, so that's ok.

Just pull the dash out and pull out the cel bulb
Has been effective for two years for me :-)

But then I wouldn't know I had an engine.

Gave the car a clean today; it looked like it was going to rain, so I made it a quick clean (darn dirty rainwater!). But now it's nice and sunny, so who knows how long the cleanliness will last outside at speed
