Hey newbie here

this is my girlfriends mx5.
so far we've added a strut brace a rollbar and some speedy lite 5's in a 17 with
dunlop sportmax 205/40's just today we finished the custom door cards will posts pics later.
for now we got photos from a photoshoot.
also have an amp installed and clarion pro splits up front!
also we have fitted one of those mk3 style vinyl tops.

Nice! Though greenmac80, you can admit its your car you know. Its not embarrasing to admit you own an MX-5.

NO!! i love it but no this is my car. old photo. undergoin round2 of restoration into a daily/showcar.



the mx is the missus she needs to be taught how to use forums first.

Welcome to both of you I guess then

That's a beautiful NA, your girlfriend is very lucky ! Great photos too, can't wait to see some more !

How bizzare,

I have a Red NA6 and a green KE30 too...

And I live near you....

ok over the last two days this has been the project.
custom door trims. once the speakers had been amped i was finding that the cone was hitting the stock
cover so i went about redoing the trims from scratch.
i used the old one as a template and modded it from there.

so first pic.


then this


then this


and finished!

DUJ that is just weird man!!

actually funny you said that!!! she is an apprentice hairdresser!!! but a fully qualified beautician as well.!!

DUJ that sounds nuts 20"? your pullinf my leg yeah?
can't say i've ever seen a green ke with 20's in adelaide.

I'm sure bruce is busting your balls, as he usually does

FYI Simmons dont come in 20's.

Looks like a clean example.

ha lol
i do like simmons but i didn't know that.

well the paint is faded on the rear bar and the rest of the paint needs a lot of up keep to keep it looking nice.
gf wants the same colour again...... for ease of painting but some gold fleck will be added to the basecoat for some extra bling.
i painted my corolla and it turned out fairly well. and the mx is only half a car so should be fairly easy!

its been lowered with some pedders springs but is in need of new shocks.

urethane bushes all round is planned along with the shockers.

two 8 inch subwoofers are getting installed on the back shelf as soon as they arrive.
also to match the door cards a boot covering is getting made to cover the skeleton bracing also with a pair of downlights to illuminate the boot at night.

Now we have been travelling a lot this week went on holiday to vic. i decided to try and change the plugs only to find that cylinder 2 &3 spark tubes are full of oil.
now with these engine do i just need a cam cover gasket? or do i need a spark plug tube seal as well?
