Heres a Random photo from the other night

Today me and a friend started to fit the rear wide arches

This photo is the opposite side but you get the idea

The paint needs re-doing around the arch as the heat from the welder blistered it and it started to chip off pretty bad. I've also got a set of Avon 205/50/15 Tyres ordered in through work,those should be fitted in the next week or so.

Quick wash before a meet last weekend

A photos from the meet

Went to get my new 225/50/15 tyres fitted today,but there seemed to have been an issue. The front wheels didnt want to turn. The rears would have gone on if the coilovers were raised abit but the camber would have to stay at 5 degrees to stop them hitting the arch

Because Drag Car.

I could have gone for 205 or 215 but they'd have to order them in,and time isnt on my side so had to play it safe and go with 195/50/15s. Raised the rear up abit to level it out and also got the camber adjusted. Front 1.5* and Rear 3*. The camber wouldnt go any lower as its maxed :/

Still low,but now practical enough for the roads around here Smile

Back when if first got the car in August 2011 i had then missed the summer. I missed the summer last year as the car was off the road having the turbo conversion done. I sure as hell wasnt going to miss it this year!

Sourced a good condition second hand roof locally and they helped me fit it. Its amazing how the driving experience changes with the roof off. Least i wont have the hassle of removing the Hard Top,then having the rush back home if the weather suddenly turned

Photo at a local meet

Also did a trial fit of some Yellow Vinyl on the headlights.

Also bought an External Mic for the GoPro Hero 3 and did a test video

Dark Samurai Stav, when you own an MX5, it's the law you don't smooth them in! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mx5+wide+arches&aq=f&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=HYtmUYnPJcHBPLDfgagF&biw=1280&bih=603&sei=HotmUculL8KkO7j4gKAD

Looking good, Chris!

I just clicked the link and was slightly suppressed to find that as I looked through the pictures, one car kept popping up......... My old MX5 !
It was the green Mk1 with black "Bubble" arches (Or in some shots, Green with white gel coat arches).

........... God I miss that car.

(PS. One thing I think might look good done to your white MX5 though....... Black windscreen hoop !)

I keep getting told to paint the windscreen surround black,guess its one of those things on my ever growing to-do list Smile

Gave the car a wash today ready for the MX5OC meet tomorrow
