I joined the MX5OC on a drive Sunday across the Suffolk Country Roads,and its the best day of driving i've ever had! The car performed extremely well and even had the company of my mapper Lawrence in the convoy in his boosted MX5!

I've got a couple of videos from the drive,but due to the length/size of the videos they take forever to upload

Here are some photos from the day. The rest of the photos can be found on my Photography page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 756&type=1

Took the car to H&S Performance today to get a few bits fitted.

Underseals and my P5 Frame Rails fitted

O/S Rear Inner Arch hole

Repaired/Welded

Mocal 13 Row Oil Cooler w/ Thermostatic Sandwich Plate

Wrinkle Black Inlet Manifold fitted

Apologies for the photo quality,had to use my phone.

Heres another test video of the External Mic on the GoPro. This time its on the rear bumper next to the exhaust

Another nice video mate. What external mic do you use? Im looking at getting one for my Go Pro.
Also was that a big rust hole in the arch?

Yeah that was a hole in the inner arch

The mic i'm using is this one:

Thanks mate, Ill check it out. You seem to get really good sound quality in your videos. The internal microphone in the go pro is quit poor, only picks up wind noise.

I tried a video with the Mic on the rear wide arch and there was abit of wind noise. I clipped it onto the bottom of the bumper at the back right next to the back box and suprisingly didnt get any

The best quality seems to be in the Engine Bay on the inlet side. Hardly any heat and away from the Turbo

Last sunday I headed over to a local Classic Car show

Left the show and thought i'd make these:

Bought a Greddy Type S BOV

Excuse the blue Vacuum pipe,it was all I had laying about. Will get it changed to black at some point

Heres a test video of the new BOV

Today me and a couple of mates started to wire tuck the engine bay. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos as we went along.

All the wires passenger side (MAF loom,Horn,Headlight loom) got relocated to the inner wing. The diagnostic port and relays were tucked inside behind the dashboard. Also removed the washer bottle (Rain-X FTW!)

Drivers side was a little bit more tricky. We managed to put the Headlight loom and the sensors on the Thermostat housing through the inner wing. The Ignition Module was moved behind the fuse box. Was hoping to relocate the fuse box etc to inside the car,but it seems the main loom for that weaves behind the engine,which would mean engine out to do it properly. So we half tucked that side,doesnt look much,but looks a lot better.

We also fed all the vacuum hoses and wires underneath the inlet manifold. Also tucked the Injector wires too so it looks abit neater.

Apologies for the photos,first time using Adobe Lightroom and still getting used to it.

The next step for the MX5 was to have the spare turbo rebuild. A week or so prior to me sending my spare T25 away,this lil gem popped up.

A Brand New Garrett T25g from a HKS Turbo kit for the NA6CE

Only problem is,the exhaust flange is 4 bolt while my current T25 is a 5 bolt. Im in no hurry to get this fitted,so got plenty of time to source a flange & gasket
