Like my wind blocker in my NA so much, I modified the brackets and fitted it back in after installing my BD Roll Bar :D

Having dríven an NB8B with wind blocker (first experience with MX5) and then driving the NA with lid down for the first time, I can honestly say that a wind blocker is the most comfortable way to drive an MX5!

Well it's been busy. I finished off redoing my interior, put my soft top back in because I'm a massive pussy. Finished connecting 'all the bits' and ready to start the car for the first time on megasquirt to calibrate the lc-1.
If goes well, tomorrow I'll have a supercharged car 8)

... still waiting to see side skirts Scott :P


On home front, been enjoying driving Mexie as my daily for last few days. Great weather in Adelaide today, so thought I'd spoil her with a good clean. Half way through and my back goes on me big time :cry:

So, wife gets home, son tells her I've done my back working on the 5 ... you can take it from there ... :roll:

new cd player and some carbon bling. Want to try find a nice leather gearknob though to match. I left the original cd player in to fill the space.

Oil and filter change. Installed stainless hex head cam cover bolts. They look great on the black cam cover.

Another SP for sale soon.

Where is jackmack? He was telling me that he likes the silver colored MX5. Well this is his opportunity to secure a silver turbo MX5.
