Hey guys, not on for a while have to say been lurking around driftworks soaking up the scene.

My other half is taking up drifiting so we have been sorting out a new lil project to get her on the way. A big thanks to Declan Hicks (EDC drift driver to those not in the know) for sorting out a good base model to start with and for all the lessons coming up! :D

Car is a Mazda Eunos 1.6 S special import.

Ok so we got the car like this, already with Bilstien shocks, Roll bar. It needs a fair few things to get it setup right. Rear diff, Suspenion, buckets harnesses, Hyraulic handbrake, and then it will be turbo'd :)

We replaced the BBS with something a little more to our liking, nice dished wheels will go on at somepoint!

Well it wasnt going to stay plain long with me in the fold so i was already designing something up before it arrived :roll:

Ok few pics with the graphics on

Got some side skirts and did a little test fit, still undecided on front and rear bumper.

We sort out a some simple induction off of ebay, nice roar at 5k also i spotted a full apexi N1 exhaust on ebay and won it at a awesome price!

Exhaust was fitted to day and its a very nice bit of kit sounds rather sweet too 8)

Latest update is again another ebay find brand new buckets still in wrapper red and black Corbeau Clubmans as per pic

Well thats we we are up to at the mo. Next we are hunting for springs/Torsen diff and harnesses.

My view of MX5's has really changed after flinging this about! lol :grin:

Cheers
