Thanks Tim!?!?

Always need a brew at the end of a project. Be it getting out of bed or pulling a motor. Nothing's changed!

Fair enough mate, but WTF's happened to your hair!

pick these up next Saturday - I believe original tyres

Once the engines in and running and if it's not too cold, she'll be off to the body shop for full respray in original colour and all rubber trims will be replaced. Interior is good enough to leave alone.

All that extra power and old tyres, they should spin up good. :twisted:

Nice find on the wheels.

$475 for the lot.

Gonna swap the tyres from the ENKEI onto these and possibly sell the ENKEI or become a wheel whore. themissus may have something to say about that though :cry:

sooper hard bro! They're going in the bin if I sell the ENKEI.

Actually negotiating with the dude that bought my 6spd gearbox. I was under the impression it was killed but apparently it was sold in perfect working order. He wants 1K but trying to get down him down to ~$650. I'll be a happy man if I can get that on board to.

Block and head should be ready for pick up this coming weekend. Remembered that there was stuff I still had to do so I thought I'd make a start on the CF guards. They weren't looking to flash so gave 'em a polish. The pics don't show just how much difference there is;

Before;

After;

Done and not done;

100% sure I'm the only MX-5 in the US sporting this bad boy. I must like you guys because I hate stickers on my cars

And I just got back with the wheels. Can confirm near new OEM tyres! Rims are borderline perfect except the actual finish is a lil' iffy up close. Going to look into refinishing them myself.

The pics show a huge difference. They look great.

Thanks MEANMX, only spent ~ 1.5hrs on that guard. Gotta say, the manufacturers quality control must be on par par with mine after a few brews!?!?!, grass seeds in the gel coat????;
