I remember seeing that car when Justin owned it. Bloody fantastic. That was one of the first MX5's modified tastefully in Australia, I reckon.

sh*t Rob, that looks awesome. The black window frame and black hardtop matching up to the black GV lip, black skirts and rear lip is TOO classy! Stop it!

Super keen to hear how you go at the track.

it's amazing to see Daz's car still out and about!

I've been around Winton in it and it was stupidly fast!

and that was when he didn't have the suspension completely sorted yet.

Thanks PaulF :D

@ hks kansei -

yep its still going strong, its more street focussed and refined now though.......probably a little quicker in a straight line, and just needs semis for track work.

Engine bay is tidier now, i need to get some black silicon joiners to replace the blue ones and its done.

More newish mods i'd forgot about 8)

-M&W Ignition system
-Power steering and PS cooler
- Voodoo Magnum 6 speed knob
- NB carpet, Zoom Engineering shifter and handbrake boots
- Nardi Classic red stitch wheel
- Sparco Sprint V drivers seat

Still need to do the washer bottle relocation thing too.

Re the power steering: Just out of curiosity, I presume the non-PS rack in the Clubman is the same ratio as the non-PS NA6 rack? If so, did you swap to a quicker-ratio PS rack or convert the original rack?
