not sure if i have posted this but picked up a brand new genuine N1 front bar as well as some new n1 vents, also scored bonnet, front guards, grille and indicators. all paid for by insurance.
so the front end is sorted.
rear end will get another skim to get those ripples out. as well as a full respray in PPG.
looooooong nights at the panel shop again.
love it

i like the flap more, but ill eventually go the rocket bunny lip too
as for the RB26
things change and stuff.
have other commitments so i cant go as hard as i had wanted so we are going to settle for a refresh, new bearings, seals, machine crank, block, new rings, clean up the head etc.
hoping for some nice modest power and reliability and of course, cam baffles, sump baffle etc to control the oiling.

late night struggles have begun!

Pretty much unrolled them and cut off the excess, wil roll out and reweld and then bond them again with glass

If yours is like mine there is not a lot of cutting you can do under there before running out do steel.

    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
