So to bring the thread back to life, i sent the car down to speedfab.com.au in smithfield for some custom fabrication work.

The rear diffuser is about 80% complete with the transmission cooler mounted :

Thats great!

Did they make up templates so they can fab up a few more of those diffusers?

I've been considering something like this to allow a second rear mount radiator to be run, so I can keep engine temps at 80 degrees regardless of how exuberant I might be driving...

yea they had templates but only rough ones. most of it was custom made as they went. but u can send them an email and they'll hook u up.

how much does it weigh compared to a factory carbon one?

it weighs about 2kg's heavier than the factory carbon one

=)

Rob and Anthony do top work, had my car there when your car was there.

I had to stay for an extra 5 mins while Rob was moving your car outside, sounds mental as always ;)

your car was the white r33? if it is, it looks very clean.

=)

Wow, that's incredibly impressive work.

This thread is never a dull read :thumbsup:

=)

use to see this around my area all the time, it sounds even more angry in person lol

=)

looking choice as anthony.

what did u do with the oem diffuser?

i'm putting it away in storage

=)

Will you be at powercruise coming up 3rd march ! ?

I hope you are again , this car MADE powercruise last year.

Was there reasoning behind why they didnt run the diffuser all the way to the side, rear spats that are beind the wheels. Amazing fabrication...some goods craftsman out there!

to use the factory mounting points

    • 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!
