You really need an MX Plus number plate bracket: http://www.mx5plus.com.au/part_display. ... t=18&cat=5
- your number plate is blocking way too much air

Number plates come off during track/skidpan days. And I do like a cleaner nose. :D

Very cool car.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Wild wheels but someone's sucked the saturation out of your photos!

Whoa, that rears so rad - wonder what that camber does to the handling. There's a bit of vaseline on the camera lense too.

Recent additions include fitting my front tow hook ring and a resonator-less midpipe which sounds absolutely porn at WOT. :mrgreen:

Photos after work.

So, barrels and my SE lip are gone. :(

In their place is a GV lip and a new set of 6ULs. Just got delivery of the 6ULs so they should be mounted in a week or 2.

Also headed out to a SOTS day a few weeks back and somehow managed a freaky one off 1:16.1 timed with the CMSLapTimer on the iPhone. But was consistently in the low 18's. I want to get into the 14's with this car so hopefully the 6UL + KU36 combo will do the trick as well as some better driving.

I spent about an hour the other night trying to work out if silver or black 6ULs would look best on a black SE, can't wait to see how those look.

Because I like photos. And because I haven't edited them yet...
