Next up a little last minute preparation, for me this meant sitting watching the others do whatever they needed to do. My friend with the abarth punto stripped all his interior out, my friend with the panda was working on mounting his go pro, the cycle mount was just slightly too large to go...

Now this one may be a long read because I love the Nurburgring, you love the Nurburgring, we all the love the Nurburgring. Right then you have probably guessed the destination for this trip so I won't type it again. My friends and I try to do a trip to the ring every year/every other year...

Right next up a few of you might have noticed the Mk1 MX5 sneaking into some of the photos, this was an accidental purchase of mine, well when I say accidental I wanted another project anyway but I went out to get some chips one dinner, saw it and ended up coming back to work with a deposit...

@a17vts It was the stuff I linked above. And some better pictures of the colour for you: A word of warning, it wasn't the best of paint for spraying with so I would suggest light coats until you see how it comes out, I went in a bit ham fisted and it took me by surprise :).

I think it was this stuff: Paint I'm pretty sure I still have the can at home so I'll double check after work for you as I'm not 100% sure it was the above stuff, It does look good but I would have liked it to be a bit more of a metallic look, I'll get a better picture for you as well :).

Looks brilliant, I'm not really a massive fan of the wheels but with that bumper it looks angry! I'll keep an eye on this for your updates :).

Brace yourselves for a mega multi quote! I'll hunt it down if that's what it takes for you to like me haha! Yes had the two 1.6's and a black 1.2 which I had when I was a lost child and it ended up with an orange front diamond and orange dash strips etc, luckily I shook that phase off...

Cheers Dan! Loads to come still and I'll try and keep on top of this thread!

Then I started my prep for the upcoming Nurburgring trip. But first I decided I would do some more pimping in the engine bay, I sprayed the inlet/fuel rail guard in anthracite. IMG_6596 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr The rear brakes were also way past it so I have replaced those, I sprayed all...

Next up Cliosport Saturday 2016. I wanted to book track time, I didn't book track time, I stood on the banking taking pictures of the people enjoying their track time, I won't make this mistake next time. My day started well, my arch liner fell out on the M62 which lead to me running half of...

Next up I thought I would have a bit of arts and crafts time and tart up the interior a bit. I decided to go with a dark anthracite with red detailing. I haven't sprayed anything in a long time but I used to do it quite often so I was hoping I could still manage to get a good finish...

Next up I played with my go pro: G0020903 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr 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: IMG_3661 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_3658 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr 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: IMG_2515 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_2520 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr Untitled by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_2514 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr If you haven't already shut the thread then stick...

Next up I went on a trip down to Oulton Park. My car sat looking like: IMG_3085 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr While I took pictures of cars looking like: IMG_3065 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_3006 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr 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 Untitled by theycallmepaul, on Flickr Bosch aero wipers: Untitled by theycallmepaul, on Flickr 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 :)

Thanks @JamesBryan ! I'll fire you a message now Carl :)

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/

I did the exact same thing haha! It's on my phone though :)

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. IMG_7738 by Paul...

I've parked outside of that garage so many times, a friend is a regular there, it's not mine though :).

I might pop down for this myself, I'm well overdue a trip down to Oulton :)
