Picture

When I bought this MX-5, the paintwork was very flat and on the near side rear quarter had been polished through to the undercoat, so she was in need of paint but being red she is not the best colour to try and match, after thinking long and hard I have now wrapped this car in orange vinyl with the satin black detailing.

Since owning this now stunning car the following work has been done:

Full vinyl wrap,
With satin black detailing,
Cam-belt and tensioners replaced,
Aux belts replaced,
Full service,
Removed 'cat' from pipe,
The stainless exhaust with 4" outlet is 'heat' wrapped from cat back,
Fitted a coil over plug mod, (Super rare in the UK)
Fitted Mk2.5 injectors with adjustable fuel pressure regulato

Satin black composite slam panel,
Black emanelled rocker cover,
Cam-angle seal replaced,
Timing set at 14 deg tdc,
Orange silicone hoses,
Fitted short shifter plus new seals and gaiters,
Full custom interior to match the orange/black theme,
Ali air vent balls, with carbon fiber wrapped rings,
Up-rated door, headrest speakers plus 6*9's in the rear deck,
Fitted brand new hood with heated glass rear screen on a MK2 frame,
The brakes are dimpled/grooved front & drilled/grooved rear discs with EBC pads detailed
in black and orange,
Anti-roll bars & drop links poly brushed,
Rear suspension poly brushed,
Shark tooth grill plus stainless perforated grill to stop the stones,
Quad headlights with wrapped frames,
Completely undersealed with waxoyl.

I know that I've missed loads off this list!

Import in 1998                    1600cc


The mileage is now 162,550 km
The cam-belt, tensioners etc were replaced at 150,000 km

So runs like a dream, turns heads everywhere she goes but for all the right reasons,
the only way to get a true view of all the work done you really must see,
will be very very sad to see her go!
