Good choice of brake pad, a little dusty but stops very well on both track and street, lasts a while too. I highly recommend getting the rears to match, the mx5 has an already heavily front biased brake. I'm trying to get the brake bias adjustor from FM to play with it and try and improve braking, the fronts lock up way before the rears (I don't have hp+ in the rear either).

How's the track days going, I haven't been to any for ages, have you been back to wakefield?

Nah I haven't been since I saw you last. Haven't had the money to spare getting the car ready for track/servicing it like it should be before/after.
I really want to get out to one again, but yeah, doesn't look like it'll happen right now.

I've seen your car around Eastwood a few times, that Domokun thing gives it away everytime, =P

I drive a swift atm. I will be looking at some in a few weeks and hopefully if everything works out have one by then as well. Theres quite a lot of 1.6's and not enough 1.8s . =(

Old swift??? I had a 94 Swift Gti as my first car. Great fun little cars. I loved the exhaust note mine had and the lumpiness from the cams.

Well, I've had another scuff incident where someone brushed the front bumper and the edge of the driver's fender near the wheel arch while parked at uni. Not too bad, but still annoying. This happened about 2 weeks ago.

On the bright side, I've installed the brass gear bush and am happy with it. Also installed a Polished Voodoo Gearknob. I love how the shifting feels, and the size is just right. I'm thinking of chasing down a brushed version so that it matches my vent rings, but I'm not that fussed.
Also getting some new RE001s on tomorrow.

Saw your car parked outside the Wentworth building at sydney uni on saturday morning, you smartly had a towel over the voodoo, but its looking good

I drive a black NB8B, you'll probably see it around the campus every now and then when I miss the train

Yeah, I had an exam on a Saturday

The towel is a must...the gearknob heats up like crazy. Driving home when I was just going in 5th gear I didn't shift for a while and when I went to shift it was much hotter than before.

There's quite a few Mx5s around Usyd that I spot. A couple of NCs running around as well.

Hey mate, the interior shots look awesome, the voodoos are great aren't they! I got the handbrake on Friday, yet to get around to installing it though.

The car's looking great!

Ben,
