NFS13B - Pro drag MX5

If you're keen on a chook cooker, pop past Bridgestone Bentley and see if Shane has his MX-5 there. He owns Ghan's old 13bt MX-5, it's a pretty good example of what can be done.

ok people I need some advise now..... I have the power steering rack but no power steering.... Can I just block up the lines and it will all be good or do I need to try to do this to depower it...

Remembering its a drag car now a circuit car, is depowering it really essential?

Thanks

Just block up the rack and you'll be good to go!

Front end is looking great! Is X customs painting it for you?

You can just loop the power steering hose. Or ebay america sells a bung set to block off all the lines for $60.00. I like the front, reminds me of the hadfield car.

thanks guys for the confirmation on the steering rack.

Yes X customs is painting the car.

here are another 2 pictures.... the air brushing is done, just needs a clear coat and the car is done....

IL Motorsports and MX5 Parts UK work out to be around $60 from memory. Including postage.

if not, NA, NB and NC use the same indicators (I presume you mean the circular ones) so see what Mazda parts want for them (pretty sure Current model NC has clear ones)
