Looks dope man. Might have a Miata by this week, but I'm still waiting for the owner to email me back, lol.

How much power gains did you get with the Megasquirt?

Thanks mate. Awesome, you won't regret it, fantastic cars. :D

Uhm, I reckon about 10 - 15% in all honesty, but cannot be sure until dyno'd. But, it's all preparation for the supercharger. :D
 
The other thing is, I do quite like the shorty console but aesthetically having the fuel and boot releases sticking out like that would drive me mental...

This really made me question whether I liked it or not.

Anyway, it lead to this happening...

Something will be made up Friday. I am keeping quiet until then, however.
 
Heh. Bit of re-working then! One thing I've always liked is the quilted centre console, something to match the doorcards perhaps. You'd need to find space for the electric window switches elsewhere and it wouldn't really fix the fuel and boot release thing, but it'd have the right vibe.

It's bloody expensive too. I am going for something similar though. All will become clear next week. :P

How much mileage you got on it?

Around 100,000.

Runs like a dream though.
 
Those really are not the best air intakes, considering it's taking hot air from right next to the exhaust. Honestly the best setup is the stock airbox with a high flow filter and one of these.
I'd never seen those before, looks like a good product. Though it also specifically states that it doesn't fit RHD cars, which is a bummer.
 
Trailer photos are an endless supply of joy for me, freaking love how tiny MX5s are.. even if it means my lanky ass has difficulty fitting at 5'10

Does 4 inches make that big of a difference? I'm 5'6 and it fit me perfectly.

Leaving the really easy joke aside, yes.

Perhaps with the "Tall people mods" I'd be okay but my friend has an MX5 and when I was detailing the interior I felt really uncomfortable - most of my height is in my legs so I had to bend them in an awkward way to safely operate the pedals and I had minimal room between me and the steering wheel and I couldn't see much through the front shield due to the visors..

Awesome car but unfortunately I just can't fit in them :(

I am 6 foot 4 and I fit in mine with out too much hassle. My cousin is 6 foot 5 and he does too, although he has a deep dish 330mm wheel, which gives him infinite more leg room, and I will get round to getting something similar.
 
I suspect it comes down to what sort of driving position you like, more than overall height. I'm only two inches shorter than Urie yet MX-5s fit me like a glove.
 
I think above a certain height you gonna get unconfortable in those car. But I think S2k are even worse. I fit in both, but I have friends, they barely fit in it, and if you barely fit in it, you never want to have a crash in those cars (not that someone would want that, but... )

Nice mods you made
 
Don't get me wrong, the driving position (right now) is far from perfect for me. When I have my Sparco Sprint bucket seats and a 330 mm deep dish, however, I will be sitting lower and laying back more just how I like it. :)
 
Black with gold wheels really does work well. Proper John Player Special look to it. In fact, I'd seriously consider some very subtle gold pinstriping...

Not that obvious perhaps - maybe just along the swage line and around the front and rear bumpers.

I'll say one thing, it's certainly making me reconsider black MX-5s - I've always preferred lighter shades, but with the right touches black can really work.

6'2", seat all the way back and the top of the windshield is at eye level.
 
So, I got my interior back together for JapFest with my new carpetted center console and my smoothed tombstone and then decided at the show that I didn't like it. This got me depressed.



Then I won a set of BC coilovers at JapFest for having the fastest lap. This made me happy again.



Anyway, last night I stripped my seats out and removed the carpet, and tomorrow I am going to test fit a pair of bucket seats that my mate is selling. Because racecar.



Coilovers arrived yesterday, as did some awesome bullet wing mirrors (that might as well be non existent for all you can see out of them) so busy weekend.





Pics to follow. (My computers CPU decided to fail on me so I am computerless at the minute)
 
Nice one on the fastest lap, was that among MX-5s or other stuff?

Good call on the bullet mirrors too. I was considering some for mine before it was removed from my possession, they can look great on a car with the right sort of style.
 
Thats dope man, congrats on setting the fastest lap, feels good eh? I did something like that at car show, and won a PS3. Can't wait to see the seats.

You should buy a rollbar too, for safety, and because racecar.
 
Roll bar is on the 'near future mods'.

Got so much swimming around in my head haha.

The fastest lap was out of everyone at JapFest on the F1 simulator. :)
