This needs to be updated.
In the past 7 months, i have changed quite a few things.
First of all, i replaced the Genie exhaust system with something much nicer and something that i had been desiring ever since i got into modifying my MX5.
A Fujitsubo Legalis R Catback System. I picked this up in very good used condition from a forum member.
Installed thanks to the help of Gareth (RedMX)
In the mean time, i made the odd delivery for work
Next was the roll bar. I had never been a big fan of the alloy bar the car came with, it was a little too bling for my taste. I ended up selling this to Matt (empty) who is very happy with it.
A few days later, i collected this. It surprised my how it tied together the middle of the car a little more. The difference was not massive, but enough to feel.
So far, the car now sounds as it should and has a much nicer (and more rigid) roll bar. The next thing to replace were those knocking end links. I spent some time researching this time. I ended up with Racing Beat and am very happy with them. Best of all, no more knocking!!!
Next, this happened.
Followed by this.
Then this.
And this.
Which resulted in this.
I also managed to find one of these.
And one of these.
That's it for now.
Thanks

Looking great Cheyne.
Every time I spot it out the front of your place it still catches my eye.
Quality, well chosen, parts that all work together.

Oo, nice lip. I like that.
Good to see the whole sordid story of MX5 ownership and modification coming out.
I say, that's a mighty nice white one parked behind you. Whose is that?

Were you going to order a lip too Nick? I hear your white one has progressed quite a way. I also heard it met Sandown in person
Also guys, here is a quick video of how the Fujitsubo Sounds.
