I want your car! On a serious note exactly the styling I like. Always looks good.

Re-tensioning my fanbelt in a dark garage by torchlight at 6:30am on a freezing cold morning is not how I wanted to start my day #Mx5life

Oops. Just discovered I've been driving with the coil pack not attached to the cam cover or block since I stripped the front down and fixed the short nose crank failure. No bolts at all! No idea where I've put them either.
Intercooler install has, erm. . . Stalled as well. Need to sort dual throttle body setup (forgot about that - luckily I have a spare throttle body to go in place of the dummy), so need to order cables and find the bracket I removed. Also need to order a slimline rad fan so I can drop and move the rad back to make room for the 63mm intercooler pipes.
1 step forward and all that. . .

Getting impatient. Just realised I miscounted the number of Mikalor clamps I ordered. Need 2 more! I'll use the 45° pipe to angle the intake pipe to the charger outlet.  |

Cold start tuning this morning and an attempt to sort out the idle droop. Oh joy. I'm crap at this!

Sorted my starting after some quality advice from members of 'another' un-named 5 community. . . . and gave Ronin a clean! Good to wash all that salt, mud and oil off. Refilled the power steering fluid and added some Wynns leak stop (it was nearly completely empty). Put some leak stop in the engine oil as well as I have a slight seep coming from somewhere.   Happy days |

Just use jubilee clips - much more reliable. I've had three Mikalors fail on me now. Good luck with the IC install, I found it quite awkward as you basically just make it up as you go!  |

Nice indeed, I think I got the exact same pair (but in black) from my good wife.

Wearing driving gloves has now turned every trip in my car into a 1960s adventure where I am a: Spy/hit man/getaway driver/cad/off duty Grand-prix driver.
