Thanks for the tip - taken a look at the BBR stuff - looks like they have the BBR 175 for the 1.8. tempted but got my mind on a next project car so may be selling Foxy soon to fund that. Nice at the BBR sounds, i wouldn't make the money back - we'll see though - been dailying Foxy for a bit now and getting quite fond of her. 40 more bhp would definitely be nice :)
Glad to see the boys back! soon as I saw the rear shield I knew where that was going, hub off always means a new bearing. As long as the sensor is in the right position and the clearance is ok that would have been fine. May I suggest getting the 4 wheel alignment done by a MX5 specialist, no more expensive than the usual places no names mentioned but these are not the run of the mill when it comes to alignment, the usual mobs messed mine up twice before I went to a specialist and perfect since. don't go for a track set up if offered (unless you intend to track it) Nice to see it on the road finally. Yes go for the paint its a shame not to!
Hi Malcolm! Thanks for your comment and advice as always. Really sorry for delay replying... I was thinking of you as i destroyed that hub lol... i would have asked for comments on it but was pushed for time but was all useful learning again :) I've got an MX5 specialist arranged for the alignment - hoping to get done next this Friday. Andy's used the guy before for his ND, he specialises in and races MX5s so we should be in good hands there. Will try to get some footage if they're agreeable. Definitely going to get her painted but still pondering on whether to go for painting ourselves - tempted to take the plunge and learn another skill... or mess it up lol. Will be good content either way.
Just take it to the body shop if you care about the colour match between the bumper and wings. If not give the spray gun a go, you only live once. good video btw.
I'm on the fence about painting ourselves or getting someone to do it. Fair point on the colour matching - do fancy getting stuck in and learning to spray - what's the worst that can happen? Glad you liked the vid - still got to get my volume levels right but pleased people enjoy them!
Gotta love chaps keeping these old girls running!!!
I would love to see you put the BBR 200 kit on it after all the love you've given to Foxy.
