Look for an interior photo of one of the first NC LEs. Replacement sections are available from the UK:

Thanks JBT.

Probably going to do four mods to the new car ;4.1 lsd,windblocker, new storage tray and the dash.
Has anyone actually used this dash kit or any of the other multiple piece kits available on Ebay?

Windblocker? The NC already has one

The Aust market manual cars have an LSD too but 3.727 diff ratio. The auto was 4.1 but no LSD. Is there a 4.1 LSD readily available for the NC?

4.1 LSD available from Mx5 plus;I am looking for a taller more effective windblocker having had that arrangement in my NA and feel that the standard NC is no were near as good, others must think so too as there are aftermarket versions out there that attach to the standard blockers mounting points.

Will post here results if I go ahead.

Josh,Since about 16 days ago- thats why the LE is for sale!A bit discouraging though when the service manager of the local Mazda dealer and Johnd who have dríven both cars on the GOR say that keys on the table they would take the LE!!!

But Peter, you have only had the NC for 16 days.

My thought exactly, besides it's the heavier hard top version so no wonder he wants the 4.1 diff, bigger wind blocker to keep the hair in place.

On a more relevant matter, I drove some untimed laps in Chris Gough's track NC with the 4.1 diff around Wakefield and to be honest, besides having to be in a higher gear through some of the corners, I didn't notice any increase in acceleration compared to mine. What did stand out was the brakes. They were awesome, he’s running the Hawk Blues but you throw the rotors away after 6,000 klms.

I luv my piano black dash but I can see why some don’t. You can get them colour matched to the cars paint if that’s your preference. Watch out for the ebay stuff as most of it is for LHD cars.
