Those seats look great. Do they need adapters or different rails to mount?

Factory Recaro’s bolt straight in and include the airbags.
Ideal replacements but very hard to acquire.

Yes, great shot.

Is that a vortex coming off the notch in the endplate? Might be interesting to see what is visible in a high res image ...

I’ll ask for the high res.

dummy assembled an empty cylinderblock & head to start designing the drysump pump mount & how much the exhaust manifold needs adjusting (it was made for a Vauxhall engine)

obviously it would have been rude to not fit the gsxr1300 hayabusa itb's:thumbs:

After a high speed off on a muddy Wakefield infield recently, took it to the high pressure carwash, mainly for the underbody blast.
Poor decision.

I have lost count of the number of times a little bit of low strength masking tape (securing competition numbers) has ripped the paint off the doors of my 90 NA. Early MX5s seem to just have crap paint quality. Cheap and light I suppose.
