May as well update with some vids from DECA at the end of Feb, I had a ball:

(slow because it was my first time out).

http://decafeb09.racemeets.net/external/Sk...%20n15%20x2.wmv (9.28mb)

(again slow because I'm new at it. It's still not as slow as it looks on video.)

(faster)

http://decafeb09.racemeets.net/external/Sk...15%20pulsar.wmv (10.7mb)

(lots of flutters, this was my favourite course.)

All of the videos are viewable here: http://decafeb09.racemeets.net

There were more runs but they weren't all video'ed. Enjoy.

New mods purchased for the Poosar:

N15 S2 SSS Steering Wheel (leather goodness)

I couldn't keep my hands still and the interior hasn't been cleaned for two years, but you get the idea;

From this:

To this:

Size comparison :D

And still to install:

2x N15 S2 SSS Front Seatbelts (to replace my seatbelts that stopped retracting years ago)

2x N15 S2 SSS Sun Visors (passenger side has a mirror which was the reason I grabbed them)

2x N15 S2 SSS front indicators (to replace the dodgy de-Orange job I did on my current indicators a few years back that have now started leaking in water.)

Thanks for the kind words mate. But to to tell you the truth, I've spent nothing on it except for maintenance and making it a little more stock. It's really only got a couple of minor mods.

As a lot of Melbourne members know, I crashed my car at the last SAU VIC DECA. If anyones curious I'll post pics, it's been undergoing a facial reconstruction at the hands of my very capable panelbeater. In the meantime I'm collecting some upgrades for her:

N15 SSS 28mm front swaybar, Whiteline end-link bushes, D-bushes and steering rack mount bushes.

Some progress pics of the repairs:

A little bent but still usable:

Both the air-con condenser and radiator are a bit U-Shaped but I think I'll leave them as is, they're not leaking.

New rad support in:

Starting to get a face again:

She should be painted and back in my hands later this week.

Tow truck...what a completely familiar home:

Driving it home from the panelbeater wasn't to be. That little drip from the radiator turned into a torrent. Thank god for accurate gauges though, no damage done as I managed to pull over as soon I saw the temperature gauge shoot up 30'C in a matter of seconds. Didn't get to use any of the three bottles of water I brought with me. I made the towies journey a whole 2km shorter because that's as far as I managed to drive it :lol:

So while she was bleeding her fluids and I waited for the tow truck I got some quick snaps with my phone. She's absolutely filthy, so ignore that.

A few little changes - black eyelids, black number plates and removed the JDM number plate tabs from the boot and welded the holes up. On Monday she'll get a new radiator then I'll be focusing my attention on the brakes. There are a couple of small issues, the bumper I had reconditioned is warped on one side so it sags under the headlight. I'll probably replace it in future but for the moment it'll do. My air-con condenser is still a bit bent and a thermo fan has chunks missing from the blades but both work so I may just leave them for the moment.

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
