From the ashes... What did you do to your roadster today?

Yeah your probably right too, I love the look of them tagged up with the track dog splitter, they look sick. I need to get one for mine eventually...

BRM · Post by **BRM** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 4:01 pm

Yeah, I've been thinking of making a Bunnings splitter....
Just a small one.

REDBEN · Post by **REDBEN** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 4:06 pm

Definetly makes a good finishing touch I think

Had been holding off on putting my new wheels on until I'd done something about the suspension, but had to get a wof as it was about to expire and the old tyres didn't have enough tread left. So, behold - new wheels on feat. tractor mode:

Also swapped out my side markers/fender indicators for something less...orange

I brought a genuine Mazda one from eBay (cost about $60 NZD including shipping) and put that in place of the pointless box-y thing between the seats - just slots straight in! it's fantastic! As everyone will learn I have really no DIY ability - lol - so it's source source source, when I have a good internet connection at work!

Pretty excited to see what it looks like with the side-skirts back on and sitting at a decent height when I get some time/dry weather!

Doesnt look half bad at that height on those wheels, what size are they?

Those dark side markers look Sweet As especially on the darker coloured fenders... Welcome to the converted crew.

thx all.

Yeah the dark colour actually hides the fender gap pretty well from a lot of angles. Wheels are 16x7 +30 SSR type C's

Thanks - I actually got them from broomfish after seeing your posts about them. They're the same ones with the chrome surround, but I painted the surround black to blend in better.

I also wetsanded down the raised lettering on them then re-polished them. I wasn't quite sure if they had a coating I was going to damage or if they'd be fine like most plastic car lenses, turns out I didn't need to worry, they came up perfect.

Money well spent.... Now all you have to do is get rid of those ridiculous headlights and Retro Fit some Pop Ups....

Any chance you can take a nice close up of the side markers now that you have modified them.... Its got me thinking. Ypur car looks nice.

Have a couple of pics from before I put them on, but they're all from my phone so the quality is pretty average. This one is prob the most detailed:

how they came out of the box for comparison:

CHEERS Junkwhale.... I feel the mod coming on. Thats a really good improvement to them. Luckily they come off quick for a rainy night project.

New Haartz soft top arrived today, will be installing it over the weekend and observe how it holds up. Looks and feels nice though

Noticed driving blu car wasn't as fun, mostly due to seating, we tried to fit a bucket laying around but it was a bit big so 2low2c ripped apart the stock seat & about 30mins later I was rolling foamectomied, apart from a broadway mirror I would say to a stock MX5 this is the best mod I've done, gave probably 2" more leg room & the same improvement in headroom plus far increased hold... he left the front edge / bolster full n fat to lift the knees/legs up for even more room/comfort.

Blu car is now completely different, feel part of it & not bending at the neck like I think I was, waaay more comfy & way better hold.

Mod Factor: 9.9/10 (only a Broadway gets 10/10)
