Not a big fan of Rotas but love the style and it suits the car brilliantly !!

Be it genuine or Rotas, I think it looks much better Chris. Well played.

Rewind back to last Sunday,i headed down Santa Pod for Japshow.

I was with Jap Car Enthusiasts for the show,and they kindly awarded me with a Trophey! Most Unique Mod (turbo conversion). I know it may not be unique in the MX5 community,but I think I was one of few Turbo'd 5s at the show.

Purchased a new gear knob at the show,fits quite nicely with the theme of the car

Sent my 1.8 flywheel away to get skimmed. The Stage 3 clutch will be fitted along with the flywheel this coming Wednesday.

Some rubber U channel to help neaten the heat shields up

Today I travelled North to Donington for Japfest 2.

My JapFest 2 Photos are now online,please take a look over at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... uploaded=6

Update!
Last Wednesday I got my Stage 3 Clutch and flywheel fitted

It was about time I sorted out my interior,so I removed everything and work begun!
The centre bar needed grinding down and painting

I then masked up all the loom and everything else that didn't need to be painted,and then painted the floor

superb job - how does that work with regards an MOT i.e. an open dash?
