Well my avid viewers (are there any?) project mx5 is a go go.
The racing engine mounts, magnecor leads and black grille turned up earlier in the week. The leads have been fitted the others remain for me to attempt on sunday.
then on thursday on my day off I drove upto hagley to see Mark AKA jibberingloon and what a legend this man is, I can see me spending a fair whack with this man. Whilst there i spent a small chunk on 5 Ultra racing braces.
I bought: Front upper
Front lower
middle lower
rear lower
rear torsion
So far ive fitted teh front upper, front lower and rear torsion, then it got too cold and too dark so the remainder will be looked at on sunday along withhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
a set of pornographic HSD coilovers, what can i say other then wow they look good. Cant wait to have um on
quick pic of the upper brace
then today i got home at 7 and was greeted by a box on the hallway, now my dad sells screws, nails etc, so at first I thought it was related to that, then I got nosey and rolled the box over to see my name on the side and it was quite light and big, so excitedly but yet unaware of the contents i opened it and was greeted with......
oh ye forgot id ordered that
at first i was going to leave it to sunday, but meh screw it may aswell go out in the dark/cold
the contents goes as such
a very concise kit, i only expected the carbon fibre airbox, but the kit includes the induction pipe, which is pretty cool.
an hour later
So i started the car and closed the bonnet, straight away i could hear it drawing in air, even on idle, then i took it for a spin and wow the noise above 4k is insane, and it may be the placebo effect but it even feels like it pulls harder. FUN!!!!!
Anyway, sunday is going to be a big day, coilovers literally made my clio what it was so the excitement of what they'l do to the 5 with the topmounts and everything should be pretty epic, bought a can of shock and lock in preperation and another jack to help me do the engine mounts. I literally cant wait.
