Time for a quick wash. Just my luck, in the middle of a heatwave, and no rain in the last several weeks, just as i put my yummy speed racer deck lid on for a bit of a scoot... it starts to drizzle!

It does look great!
The colour, wheels, ride height and deck lid. The black mirrors work well with it too.
Today is the first non rainy day that we've had in sydney for a week.
I'm so keen to wash mine tomorrow and take her for a spin

You're welcome Billy.
The nasho is a southern sydney thing. Audley national park. It's a twisty road that runs through a huge national park.
Parts of it are dense forrest and other parts are pure scenic.
It's the most fun you can have at the speed limit

I went into see Bruce at Leda Suspension in Brendale for a much over due alignment. Car is feeling nice and planted now. Bruce is the man to see on the North side of Brisbane :mrgreen:

So what'll be your first modz? (no-one leaves their MX5 stock for long)

It's raining in Brisbane, and my driver's side drain was clogged with leaves and grit. By the time I got to work there was a nice pool of water sitting behind me. I grabbed a stick off a near by tree and managed to unclog it for now.

Doing a proper job has moved up my priority list - but for now that stick lives in the boot :mrgreen:

Haha. Well I removed most of the stickers off one.
Tyres must be old stock as they are hard as. Suspension appears non existent. Also have problems with bonnet, doors and bootlid. They are all jammed shut.
Once i sort out those issues I'll be on the lookout for a suitable turbo kit
