A little update

I didnt spend all the money i though i would in Bali over the last week, so looking through the new Miata Journal 1st issue online magazine i came across this site:

http://www.slickauto.net/

so had a look through, bit the bullet and bought some Craftsquare type (similar shape) Carbon Fibre mirrors. Direct bolt on :)

Image

so put my order in and they will be shipped first thing Monday morning from America. They are about half the price of the craft square ones. Shall look the goods when the turn up

I signed up to the Miata Journal and its a great magazine with over 100pages and heaps of feature cars

http://miatajournal.com/

free to subscribe and i guess there is a isssue each month coming. Do it if you want a good read :)

more money gone now.
After looking at Sliq's car on Friday i liked his little stubby aerial.

then i remember when im cruising down the freeway with the radio on there is a rather loud wind noise coming from the 2m electric pole at the back of my car

so off to MX5parts uk for this.

Ordered and payed for this and the bottom bracket, just got to wait for it to come in stock

Im thinking about ordering a new aluminium radiator, the original one is looking a little cracked where the top hose connects. Also might as well get some new swaybars :)
