Hoodedreeper's MX5 The Purple Monster

[RX7]

I loved the old wheels you are selling as they matched the graphic on the side.

But new ones do a good job.

The side graphics will be removed,i may get some graphite grey ones made at a later date

You are a fickle bugger - lol

So it seems i have a little scrubbing issue on the passenger rear tyre at the moment



Took the car to STS Tyre Pros last Wednesday to have the front coilovers lowered and also a full alignment. Now running 5* rear camber and 3* front camber. Also set the rear shocks to the hardest setting to try and stop it scrubbing.





Fitted some new wheel nuts



Today i noticed a collection of rubber on the arch,so its still scubbing. The only thing i can do is change the rear tyres to a 195/45 It seems this side wasnt flared enough when it was in the body shop last year



Yesterday i headed to Snetterton Circuit for Modified Live. It rained all day with the odd dry/sunny period. The show itself was very quiet,despite it being local to me,i dont think i'll be going again.

I entered the car into the Show & Shine sponsored by Kleers,managed to get a good spot too













Ended up winning Best JDM!

This update will be abit of a photo overload,what can i say? I like taking photos :P

A week or so ago i got the P5 Frame Rails fitted and undersealed. We left the rear wheel arches as the cage will be coming out to be painted at some point









Finally got round to tiger sealing the Stainless Jass surrounds to the trims





Friday just gone me and a few friends took a coastal drive and managed to catch the sunset







I took another visit to the local Graffiti Wall this afternoon

I also took a visit back to the old car show room,where i took the first set of photos when i bought the car. Heres a little comparison of the transformation in the 10 months of ownership

[Ben]

Quite a change - still loving the interior
