Two blokes, workin 9-5:30pm doing a full paint correction. APC, foam lanced, ironX, clay bar, polished for 4 hrs with ROs, sealant, wax. Knackered.

Not leaving the garage with it before the stagea cruise!

Who did it Alex?

A workmate of mine.

He does a bit on the side for some cash. Very professional and very OCD. Would recommend. However if it catches the nail, it isn't coming out, so if your thinking those key marks, they could be reduced I guess, but not removed.

He's in the bexley area. Have a look at his handy work on Sunday :)

Nah, I'm not worried about the key marks right now; no amount of buffing will get clear back on the exposed black base. The damaged panels will have to be sprayed which is on the list currently. I hate vandals...

Looking forward to seeing the results mate!

Took my car to barbagello, first time on a proper track to open her up. On the last run got my courage up and pushed it harded and passed a s13 easy and reeled in on a 345hp chaser. Hit speed cut on the back straight :( and got plenty of fade from the brembos !!

Next up is install sld dyno and dyno run..

Very happy with the car atm!!

Took mine got its first proper drive since the build: absolutely fantastic! Only downer was the plague of Lycra lovers, and the rubber messing up my front and rear guards ;) .

Almost crossbreed it with a Toyota 86 today when some complete muppet in a white Toyota 86 decided to speed up and try to turn right from the left lane of the roundabout I was going straight through. Really clever: was within 2 inches of having his car as a bonnet ornament...

very nice suction pipe!

P.S. Without the fan shroud I suggest you do some shielding in front of the pod to get rid of the hot air.....remember the heat sensor is in our AFM and it will affect your power through traffic.

Qfm hpx. I think my next upgrade is slotted rotors maybe some better street pads and some new fluid :)

Remsa or ar1m might help you out, hpx are pretty tame

A1RM's still fade. Better off keeping the HPX for road duty and running some race pads for the track.

I got project mu track pads with the brembos but didnt put them on obviously.

Whats the view on skimming the rotor if i change from the track to street pad and vice versa?

Replaced shocks all round, and bled the callipers since i was there.

Also - HPX are hopeless for track work. I know two people who tried tand both were miserable failures.... A1RMs are a whole different story, but i would expect they would be tough on rotors if you used them for street. Cold bite is not great either, so agree that pads are the #1 thing to swap in and out for track days (or maybe #2 after tyres).

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
