Oops - I really should have put more information in the email (sorry
all)

It fits a NA, I have never tried it on a NB, but if anyone wants to
offer their car for a fitting I am happy to help out.

Hi Chris,
hows the turbo kit going??
Did you manage to sort out the turbo?

My car is just about done. I just have to finish off
some little bits and pieces, drill the sump, then get
it down to the exhaust shop.
I managed to get some heat wrap for the heater hoses,
so all that will be going on this week also.
Not long now... may even be able to give it a shake
down on Waitangi weekend! :)

Tonneau cover for when your roof is down

Post by Grant » Mon Jan 23, 2006 10:30 am

It won't fit an NB. The fittings used are quite different. I have both an NA
and NB here.
The NA one is better quality as well!

Hey Glenn,

Glad to see that its coming on.

I got the final bits and pieces the other day (a beautiful HKS Super
Dragger muffler from Ross at MX5Mart) - just leaving me with the fabbing
to complete. I was booked in Monday week - then two things happened:

1) I test drove the Targa MX5 that is for sale on trademe - the car was
too rough condition for my liking, but I loved the additional stiffness
from the rollcage.

2) I had a scare where I dodged a rock and almost ended up in a ditch
(right on the edge of the road) - and no - I wasn't speeding or driving
like an idiot.

So - I have moved the fabrication budget to a rollbar in the first
instance, as I think that safety first is a good idea when adding over
100% more power to my wee car.

I still have all the bits, and as soon as the wife allows me some more
$$$ I will get them added.

For those in the know - I do believe that this does not need a LVC - is
this correct?
