Next up I played with my go pro:

And then I decided to take the headlight washer jets off, these haven't worked since I bought the car but I've been too lazy to do anything about them.
Anyway bumper off, washers off and I also removed the fog lights to...
A bit of a random section now because I'll compress parts of my old thread where I started to chat rubbish.
Went back to Oulton Park and took some pretty pictures:

Then the car got cleaned again and went to the 3 Sisters...
Next up was brakes, I got them off the legend of a man that is George, as usual he smashed it.
I got brembo hc disks, mintex pads and superblue fluid, all delivered quickly and with no issues.
Queue the phonecall to my friend to pop round, 'I'll make us some tea and we'll get it done in no...
Next up a few more mods that would increase my cliosport cool points, getting there now!
New number plate bulb case and some led bulbs:
I think that was well overdue:
Yes that plate is manky and don't worry it does get replaced!
Also popped in some new led interior lights, I also have...
I am close friends with two people who are big into their mini's, they actually have 5 between them, anyway we always go on trips out and shows together and I play backup car/ just generally crash the party, here's a few pictures from a run up to the lakes, Dent to be exact to visit a friend for...
It got a bit mucky whilst and oulton so I thought I would treat it to its first decent clean:

Next up I went on a trip down to Oulton Park.
My car sat looking like:

It was good to have a catch up with the other guys I have met over...
So the first few things to do were the usual mods to make me cool among forum users.
Osram diadems and a civic type R aerial

The car then got straight in to daily duties, all was going...
Hi all,
I did have a progress thread going on here but I gave up on it back in august 2015, after reading through a few peoples threads on here recently I noticed they were done in quite a personal style and not all about the car so I thought I would give it a shot and redo mine.
So anyway my...
This was a good little read, nice to see you enjoying it.
I've heard a fair bit about your mx5 too, I'm good friends with Iain Brooke, it sounds like it must be geat fun :)
Hi Guys,
Just thought I would ask who I'm best off popping to for aux belt and a general look over the car as I'm pretty out of the loop these days.
I usually pop over to clio turbo but from what I have read it doesn't look like he is operating now.
I don't mind if it is a specialist or a...
That's cheap! I could be interested date dependant.
It may be worth posting it in the north west area page here too: http://cliosport.net/forums/north-west.124/
Thanks for the comments everyone :)
It is a stunning place, so much to do as well, we are very lucky with having friends living there that we got to see things outside of the usual tourist spots, I can't wait for the next visit over there.
One thing I loved was the fact it was a massive city...
I recently spent some time visiting a friend over in Chicago, thought I would share a few pictures I got whilst over there :)
Nothing amazing picture wise but thought they were worth a share, I didn't have a tripod with me which I will be correcting for the next trip over.

Greenlight are well worth a call.
They mirrored my no claims between my clio and MX5 and sorted out top prices for me, you can pm them on here and they will phone you back too :smile:.
In terms of mpg on a run, I've seen 40+ sat at 70 without even trying, 3 up full of luggage and tools still...
As said that's quite a healthy budget these days to pick up something nice and looked after.
Would you believe you're also in a very good place for help with your mx5, they seem to come attached to clios these days :).
have a nice browse through the classified section and that will give you a...
That's what the wheels are! Buddy club not Enkeis, I remember him telling me that now.
I've never really been that taken with S13's but his has changed my mind.
It may well be known in the 'scene'. I remember you having a background in jap stuff? It has a good history too, first owner had it almost 20 years I think he said!
For anyone liking the MX5 it's currently for sale at £1200, I can put you in touch if interested :).
A quick google says they are based in Chieveley, Berkshire. They seem well rated among the S body guys, Mariners blue is my favourite colour on the mx5's :)
Thought I would share a few pictures of my friends new S13.
It has a couple of mods:
HSD coilovers
Enkei wheels (I can't remember the model for the life of me)
An aftermarket exhaust which will be either changed or have a silencer added as he isn't too keen on how loud it is.
Horsham...
That's handy information to have thanks @harvsurrey.
When a friend of mine (adey on here that had a turbo 182) had his gearbox go on track we pushed it about quarter of a mile and then phoned the AA, the guy knew exactly what we had done but was great with us and recovered him no issues.
