yeh, ive got the same problem...

i have a crack in my 400r style front bar (next to left head light) and also little chips on the bottom due to some scraping...

i need to save some money, stop being lazy and fix this but dont no where to go.

i went to a fibreglass repairer that does insurance work, and they said im better off getting a new front bar istead of repair :(

so yeh i would be interested in where ppl recomend..

i would recommend Mak - Speed near Highpoint,Maribyrnong.

Dunno what their 'off-the-shelf' kits are like, but i got them to make me a custom moulded vertex rear bar for my car and it came out absolutely perfect. Their fibreglass guy knows what he's doing - give them a shot and see how you go.

Haven't been down there for a couple of years so dunno how thing are now, but they got good workmanship and decent prices.

Without slandering, i've had pretty bad experiences with Aero Image in the Westside (last known location Sunshine Rd, Sunshine/Tottenham) - the guy treated me like shit and returned my car covered in fibreglass dust and refused to clean it for me. On top of that the workmanship was piss-poor too

i tried GALS smash repairs.... another member recomended it and it was ideal for me because i am a suburb away from tullamarine...

but when i told the bloke there and showed him what the problem was he said ur better off getting a new front bar :s

personally i dont think the front bar is bad enough to need replacing so i didnt do anything about fixing the bar...

now its just the same as it was and its pissing me off so i think its time to do something about it

p.s ive been waiting for someone to reverse into me for 6 months..... any takers? :)

      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

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
