I just sold a 2012 "sensible car" (Hyundai Elite i30 wagon) it was so BORING! I won't be buying another "sensible" car for quite some time!

It was good meeting you buddy, will chat more on the 22nd! Glad to hear the run went well, there were shit loads of bikes!

35 here and bar one young asian guy was absolutely the youngest person at the MX5 club rally yesterday! lol

I've had similar experiences GRUVBB!

Hi mate, yup and he's just recently started a hot rod project!

Lol hilarious - butthurt!! I have to remember that! I have to admit that I've only been to one club run since buying this car, but i was a member when I had my first one - the club was a lot "younger" then (about 6 years ago) people like Gazza (poison) etc were members. I'm definitely keen to join t...

Hi Warrior,
The one I mean is the Nikau Caves Run on the 25th May.
Details : Meeting at the BP going south on the southern M/way, Drury , at 10.30am. about a 1hour run ending at the Nikau Cafe at Waikaretu

just in time for the run this weekend, got back from Rapid Radio with boot popper install and final stereo install - speakers in the seats & powered iphone 5 cradle. Also got the plates. Thanks for the offers of help all, with the shit weather I just thought it was easier to get them to do everythin...

so what about something like this? still out of a Mazda so surely shouldn't have any problems .... just a though ..

Thanks Mate! I'll be in touch when I get back!

thanks guys! Unfortunately I don't have a garage to do it either, so that's problem one! the seats have the cavities in to fit the speakers, they were just never put in! I'll definitely ask questions prior to doing shit in future lol - I brought the speakers before re-joining the club, didn't even t...

that was exactly the first word that I said when I opened that email! lol

Morning all, My 1997 NZ new didn't come with headrest speakers, so I have managed to buy speakers and the boxes from ebay and wanted to get them installed. Rapid Radio (Auckland CBD) have quoted $276 plus cable of approx $40 (4 hours work) this seems a lot! I'm really not wanting to do it myself, so...

who are you using for your roof install? do they do upholstery for seats as well?? I'm checking out bodyworks when I get home for a quote but can't hurt to get some others too!

I'd definitely go for black unless you have a tan interior - and only then on a BRG car just my 2 cents ...

Can't wait to get back home and get this all fitted onto the car! then it's off to the upholsterers I'm not totally 100% on the style bar but will see what it looks like on the car.

I'm keen

like this one you mean? ... you're welcome

Personally I'd go for black, however I did have to look at that silver one twice ... I'm not convinced it's horrible!

thanks mate can't wait to get it to the upholsterers when I get home!! I'll post pics (obviously )

note to self: delete pictures folder on work pc, it's FULL of mx5 seat pictures ha ha

lol disturbing! :) I think I'll go with the fabric front, spent a bit of time checking out other forums and it appears that a number of people in the UK have gone back to fabric from leather :) I assume it'd be a good idea to have the vinyl back to prevent excessive fading on the rear of the headrest?

so this is what I am thinking - but vinyl in the back and fabric on the front - original look but modernised ..

Thanks MrGrey yup, exactly my thoughts!

hi everyone, so poison suggested I get your opinions. I am going to have the seats in my 1997 mx5 recovered and am getting conflicting arguments on leather vs. fabric. my understanding of leather in the mx5 is that it gets unbelievable hot in summer and hard to sit on (since I have the roof down mos...

damn! looks like a great day! can't wait until I get back in NZ to join in! very very jealous!
