Looks like you've since changed your reflectors and side signals, how much did u pay for that?

I think is $40 for the reflector and $65 for the side repeater. I bought the repeater from MX5 Mania and the reflector from mx5parts uk.

Those are factory seats. I bought this car from an old couple and they own a farm in Danmark, WA. So when I frist got this car there were red dust and animals hair stuck in the seats, so I took the seats, centre console, gear boot, and handbrake boot to retrim with leather, also I replaced the whole set of the carpet due to the wet bad smell.

Once I got back the centre console on this Friday, then I will upload the whole set of the leather combo to here:D

Visited Aone Audio a few weeks ago and saw some pics of your sound system - looks beautiful!

Honestly the sound is just so so, too hard to listen, and there are not much room left for the passager.

Hm that's a shame, went to them for a quote but for the price they wanted I could set up a better system for much cheaper. I guess our options are limited with the small space we have to work with.

Try beyound custom in Morley, they said they could do better for that, they will make a box for a 12" sub and place in the boot for $850 - (I have my own amp already)

All the parts were came in on Friday finally.

Lets put some heat shield on the aluminium and make it "cooler"

This is my stage two heat shield and it is the final stage I believe.

If you ask me is that really works and really lower the tampeture near the filter...

I would say maybe...

Honestly I have never test the tampeture before install or after install, but one thing for sure is the sound actually louder than without the heat shield. So, this could be a good thing for some people.

F'ing the rain...I think it is because of the broke rain rail...all the water ran all over my interior and boot.

Well, perhaps it is time to do a simple restoration. As I remember, when I first got this car, there were red dust all over the car in and out, and of course including human saliva and animals hair. It was because the previous owner is a farm owner in Danmark, WA.

Therefore, while I took out all the parts and dry the car, I also clean out the red dust as much as possible, and the animals hair too.

I found quite a few place turned rust, but I am not really familiar to how to deal with the rust, so just let it be, anyway it will cover by carpets.

So here a few pictures of how I do my little restoration.

Uhh...the Damp Rid wouldn't have done anything with the car open like that. You would have been just as well off just leaving it open for a couple of days like you did.

Trust me, water underneath the carpet will not go away if you don't take out everything.

Did you buy the $70 OEM Fixed antenna base as well?

You're not the first to have a wet carpet! I was just saying that Damp Rid was a bit pointless.

Yes, I had bad experience with the hanger outside of my garage

I am back with my new custom subwoofer, no more silly small sub in the passenger side.

The new one is a 12" pioneer subwoofer, built by Beyond Custom in Morley, and they did an excellent work, check this out guys, they even help me to "hide" the battery
