Not a Roadster, though a roadster... picked up some new wheels today

And the whole wheel looks like?

OMG - Harlan Smart plus ones that, pretty packed indeed... you are NUTZ!!! Rob, I repeat, NUTZ - I actually do not think you're buying enough parts, 'step it up'

I know... So much to do, so little motivation (too much beer) and probably need a bit more knowledge to install it :p Ah well, it'll get there

Surely he's going to run out of room on/in his car to attach everything to

You'd expect that but strangely there's always something else you can jam into the car... Just got a bracket to put the fire extinguisher onto the passenger floor rather than the boot since I figure if there actually was a fire, it would take waaaay too long to remember to open the boot

That's the bit I didn't take a photo of

They look like this, though:

Looks good reminds me of buddyclubs!

Mr. Shine · Post by **Mr. Shine** » Thu Jan 17, 2013 12:13 pm

Yeah they do have a bit of a P1 look to them! If I were going aftermarket I'd be looking at Enkei RPF1 or Advan RG, and considered some Buddy Club P1s, so a similar look for all three!

Hopefully can get tyres swapped and wheels fitted this Saturday

How about some Mugen MF-10s and a big GT wing

Mr. Shine · Post by **Mr. Shine** » Thu Jan 17, 2013 3:27 pm

I am considering a GT wing in future, but think I'll stick with my BBS for now

Me too going to see if I can get it done before a car meet on wednesday!

Cost way too much, but only one in the country

Sway bar end links and exhaust hangers.

I get really annoyed at US suppliers who seem to forget that our cars ar metric and continue to manufacture parts for them using imperial hardware. The endlinks are a case in point. Supplied by Moss, the threads are all imperial.

I ordered a fibreglass hardtop spoiler from carbonmiata which arrived today.
heh, I was too tight to get the carbonfibre version =P

it arrived painted black with (just being honest) a crap paint job (runs bubbles etc) so i have sanded it back with 320 grit then 600 grit sandpaper ready for painting.

I can't complain really, because I was honestly expecting something like a bare fibreglass wing with little more than a gelcoat ...... I had even been sourcing decent highbuild urethane or resin based filler primer and all the guff that goes along with fibreglass painting.

I'm not expecting the quality of the sistean chapel in my work but it should turn out ok for a noob job.

awww im not the only one with one now.

Chuck up some pics when its fitted

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 6:57 pm

will do, I'm just a little dissapointed I didn't have the foresight to order the hardtop rainrails and the puuurty vented headlight covers they also have at the same time as I ordered the spoiler.

awww im not the only one with one now.

don't feel bad, yours is sexy carbonfibre whilst mine is merely plain old fibreglass.

My Cusco 'Powerball' headers arrived while I was at basic. Can't wait to chuck them in
