Dragged it out of the garage this morning went to work and pulled a wheel off to send pic's to More-Japan for correct Hubcentic rings and maybe Centre caps to suit my SSR type C's
Fingers crossed they will be able to help,SSR's need specific rings,Plastic one won't do the job.Not too badly priced either $20.00us a pair.
Taken them a week for them to reply to me though.

Got some money in Paypal account burning a hole

,Must Be Spent on something oversea's for the car

.
Wife or the kids will get it otherwise.

haha! That isnt to bad price wise! And that sounds fair.. money is to be spent on a car, not silly things like food ;D

Prices overseas seem much better than nz!

Sold my St Mays exhaust to Aussie,so have some "Non House-hold money".
Always work on Money for the car is from "Wheeling and Dealing" and not from day to day living.

Picked up some Mobil 1 5W-50 and a Ryco oil filter. Haven't done the oil change yet however, as I'm waiting on picking up a new sump plug and washer on Monday. ANZAC Day shouldn't be a bad day to get it done.

Can we go easy on size of images posted too? Scrolling sideways to read posts is a pain in the behind

pulled my dash apart to work out why passenger side indicators werent working.

Turns out its a dicky flasher unit.... anyone got one of these spare for a 1990 NA? Repco want $75 for the little grey box...!!!

Also removed my electric aerial (was bent so i snapped it off in rage, and never removed it alll) and replaced with a bung. Nicely filled the hole.

Mr Shine - Probably from the same guy!

Bwarp - Have a look on ebay, trademe etc, amazing the deals you can find!

Yup, he's got some nice panels available. I'm considering going after the doors he has for sale, though I'm not sure I'm that keen with having to repaint them... a bootlid is probably easy enough, though.

MRSHINE it was you who beat me on that! I was gonna make a spoiler Haha

Haha, sorry dude. I'd argue I need it more - my current bootlid has a actory spoiler held on by SCREWS, and I don't want a spoiler anyway!

If you're after a bootlid to play around with, you're welcome to mine free if you want to remove the spoiler and play around with the bare lid? I think it may originally have been a non-spoiler bootlid. It'll have possibly rusty screw holes on the sides, though :S

He did, not sure if those auctions finished last night or will finish later this week though. Give it a search!

chris · Post by **chris** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 11:09 am

I think he was completely stripping the car to make it a track car? Not sure but Ill ask him when I pick up my new bumper tonight :3

And hopefully I can pick up my coilovers tonight too!!

sounds like a trade me bidding war is on....just got the bonnet and want the doors and gaurds too....

Let the games commence...

Work done on car...

Fine tuning the Link fuelling trying to get rid of slight hesitation at idle.

Touched up damaged mags sourced from MX5 Mart and put on car, quite nice, bronze Weds 15 x 7's. about 5kg per wheel so not light light but not too heavy either...

Pics to follow...
