I second this notion.

Oh I hope it is sorted, would love a ride in this. So would the missus, she needs further convincing.
Hah fair point Mark, gotta agree with Jonny though, horses for courses i guess.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - lewisdmz - 14-03-2012
I enjoy driving too much to ever go that low.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - THE_Liam - 14-03-2012
Fozzy, are you on classic insurance for this mate? I'm thinking about getting one for a second car in September, just had a quote from Footman James of £282 for the year when I'm paying £145 a month for the Octavia!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 14-03-2012
No problem alex if its at camping i will take you our for a ride, will try not to offend people like i did last time in the rallye.
Liam - I looked into classic insurance briefly to see what it would be like, but not properly yet but got a silly quote of about 3grand with all the mods from one place. i will most likely be going with brentacre. I currently just changed cars over on my existing policy, and haven't had to renew yet.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - THE_Liam - 14-03-2012
Try Footman James dude, I got sent there by a guy on the MX5 forum, couldn't believe that price!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 14-03-2012
Will give them a ring when im looking for a renewal then, hopefully the mods wont make it rocket up.
Did your quote have any mods?
No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - THE_Liam - 14-03-2012
I just said aftermarket wheels, exhaust and filter, they were fine with those
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Poodle - 14-03-2012
Awesome!
Ha yeah, that guy was a douche.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 15-03-2012
Liam - I think they may have a problem with the amount of mods i have planned, they always seem to hate roll bars
Alex - the Rallye is quiet compared to the Eunos as well, To the point i need some of eds ear plugs haha

Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 17-03-2012
looking good! always quite liked these after i drove one up to scotland for my sister
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 18-03-2012
They are good fun to drive but really impractical for anything else.
managed to fit the dice to the wheels today.
![[Image: Photo0773.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/Photo0773.jpg)
Even if i did get one stuck on the valve. sorted now thankfully.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Poodle - 18-03-2012
Hahha amazing! Hmmm that splitter does look a teensy bit impractical, you'll be reversing into Curt's then...?
And practical is what the HDi is for, surely.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - 4WayDiablo - 18-03-2012
Dice looks good man :-) as said on fb that splitter looks awesome and much better than lavuna one

Who care about impractical? I like that a lot and it will look fecking sweet when its lowered!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Kezzieboy - 18-03-2012
Splitter looks lush!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 18-03-2012
Thanks for the comments, i really can't wait to get this lowered, but i don't have the time at the moment. And also when i get the wider wheels on the arch's wont look so big.

Well get on with it and sort it out, make some time
It will look awesome on wide wheels sitting low!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 18-03-2012
haha, i wish i had more time i just have so much else that needs doing so cant spend a decent amount of time on it.
Forgot i took this photo earlier, shows the new bwarp cone and also the revised location of the header tank in the slam panel

Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 18-03-2012
looking clean in that bay dude!
isnt that cone right next to the exhaust fannymold and therefore gunna get loads of heatsoak?
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 18-03-2012
Thanks, still not as clean as i want it to be, far too many wires scattered about.
Yeah, its a major problem, i am hoping to make a heat shield or get some piping and reroute it to either the back right hand side or the front right behind the light, but for now i just want some induction noise.
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - samass - 18-03-2012
ah yeah i see what you mean, does make it look kinda cluttered. atleast its not grimey tho!
yeah fair nuff man! i want some noise too, even tho i know ill lose (a tiny bit of) power thanks to the hot air itll be sucking in!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 20-03-2012
Today i decided it was time to take the plunge and see how bad the rust was behind the wings, common with mx5's
I was quite nervous but i knew it had to be done
![[Image: Photo0785.jpg]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c12/fozzy_255/MX5/Photo0785.jpg)
As you can see theres quite a bit, but the metal is still solid, so big sigh of relief.
Out somes the trusty wire brush drill bit, back to bare metal and waxol'd the hell out of it.

Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - 4WayDiablo - 20-03-2012
Hehe looks good but i dont spy any dice on there!
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 20-03-2012
Dice are for the dished wheels, would look a bit strange sticking out on the bbs wheels, although saying that i haven't actually tried on the bbs
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - 4WayDiablo - 20-03-2012
To be fair its not like you dont have enough
Re: No hairdressing equipment left in this vehicle overnight - Fozzy - 20-03-2012
hehe, i think 20 is a good amount means i have plenty in supply for when some low life decides they will look better on there car
