She's nearly together, all the suspension is now on and apart from cornerweighting is setup. Brake pads are all fitted and bedded in :roll: :roll:

According to the UPS tracking my harness is due early this week. Roll on Eastern Creek next weekend :D

Very happy with how its all turning out

Looks damn tough from the back, nice rims & offset...and those 225 hmmm :)

Very nice, congrats. My car is very similar, just a little more race orientated but still registered.

I'm also waiting on some Tein flex coilovers and adjustable sway bar links from 949 racing.

Let us know how you go on the track.

That looks really good, although I prefer the 15x8's without the centre caps on.

Where did you get the front spoiler from?

Thanks everyone, front spoiler is just the Mazda add on that I picked up from the states - Theres also a splitter to add once it arrives.

My Schroth 6 point harness was also delivered first thing this morning too :D

Wasn't happy with the amount of roll on the track so have gone up to 800/500 from 700/450. although wouldn't mind trying a slightly thicker rear bar than the standard rear with say the 450 rears as a what if scenerio.

Just trying to work my way through one thing at a time now before doing anything else, found more pressure in the tyres was a good thing and want to try a few different camber settings but am having trouble with the settings slipping - have new camber bolts ordered from Mx5parts at present so hopefully that will fix things.

Picking up another engine tomorrow after what looks like stuffed bearings following the last supersprint at Eastern Creek....

Have a few things on order as the engine is coming out and their starting to drift in:-

Received this Maruha oil pan baffle in the post today, looks well made and has a couple of doors slow down oil exiting the oil pickup area but swing open to let oil in.

BTW, Awesome service from these guys in Japan, shipped the morning after ordering and was sent on the 19th and arrived today (the 22nd). Very happy!

Dodgy camera pic attached....
