New wheel fitted, thanks again to Andy snappy for the workmanship, superb as ever.
Battery cover also fitted. Next engine bay tasks are powder powdercoat some brackets, swap header tank and coolant when belts done and get spare inlets/fuel guard vapour blasted. Getting there!
Done random...
decent, the billies are very good all rounders and even on the woeful roads on the hills around Derbyshire she copes pretty well. its a little bouncy compared to the daily 182 on H&R springs/cup dampers but its lower so to be expected.
and pic of it looking all shiny under the petrol station forecourt has made me look over the paint and decide....its not that shiny up close so think once I sort new front wings and get the side skirts off, painted and cleaned behind i'll treat the car to a proper buff to really bring her up...
My Andy of the Snap has refurbished two wheels for me too, although I am currently running the Sabelt wheel I think i'll chop and change as I please with them. As ever Snappy's work is second to none and proper chuffed to have the wheel part of the puzzle all squared off now :)
had one done...
cheers chap, Bilstein B14's are great for this as you just set the rear without the adjuster part of the platform in there and then match the front and its pretty much bang on everytime. although i think the front needs to come down another 5-10mm to be perfect
Hoovered, new mats fitted, engine cover back on and new bumper with new fabia splitter all fitted and good to go.
Just a wash and some fuel and she's ready, oh and refit front plate when some velcro coins show up this week!
Cheers
Ben
As above, the ad08's are more road orientated. Get some Dunlop direzza or original version r888's for a more dedicated track car. Or cage it and get some full slicks for extra points
Right, decided about time dug this out for a spin soon. Since the mx5 sold last month the car is insured again, so mot booked for next weekend.
Today decided to rip the old bumper off to fit newly painted one and at same time clear the usual crap out the arches behind the liners etc.
So up in...
Just before lunch at Mallory, whilst negotiating the hairpin, I heard a metallic clunk and ping, but it down to tyre pickup as when I checked the car over nothing obviously amiss.
Drove to welwyn garden for work and back Monday/Tuesday and tonight just had time to swap back off the track pads...
So did Mallory Park on Saturday, car didn't skip a beat all day again and despite the age of the tyres managed to get some grip. Weather was kind aswell, lovely all day.
Mates k20 converted mk1 dropped a pulley on the aux system when I was in the car and spun us out when it overheated and spat...
