Idea for the air intake to replace the tin foil tube... silicone elbow, two top hats back to back sandwiching the box, air filter fitted to box? Hm not sure I explained that too well...

I've admired this on forums for a while now, way before i bought a 5, it's still up there with my favourites, I love the insane aero mods it has now as much as the subtle feel it had at the start! Top notch work, seriously! Also love that livery to pieces |

Me and the other half took a driving holiday to Wales last week. I've tried to condense the photos down,there was quite alot to choose from  Started off by visiting the Evo Triangle   Travelled south west and stopped off at the Mach Loop Cad West to watch some RAF training. We had a couple of fighter jets come over as we got out of the car. We climbed about half way but sadly only saw 2 other air craft. I have zero knowledge on aircraft so couldn't tell you the names sorry   Getting lost was the best part  We were staying with some family south of Merthyr Tydfil,so majority of our visits were in the south region Went to the Henrhyd Water Falls  To the fast west of the Brecon National Park is the A4069 also known as the Black Mountain Pass. Give it a search in Youtube to see what the roads are like,theres one particular hairpin which is very popular for car enthusiasts   |

Not much to update car wise. The silver daily had its yearly inspection,all was well except it needed a steering rack gaitor and the handbrake adjusting. The bodywork was advised too which i knew about. Both rear arches need replacing along with the front wings/fenders. Bumper may aswell be replaced as thats got some bad paint cracks. I got messed around with a part that was for sale so put the money towards a hard top for the daily. Paint isn't in great condition,but the whole car will be painted eventually.   I removed the stickers today,to find how poorly the hard top spoiler had been fitted. They've bonded on 3 brackets to the glass,one side was taped on...so that needs looking at  Also noticed some scratches on the glass just below these spoiler brackets,looks like either sanding or grinding marks?  Over the past few months i've been collecting and building up a small video games collection. Today i moved into my fiance's place. I had already sorted out the man cave ready for the move in    Yes that is my Mazdaspeed boot spoiler hanging from the ceiling,storage space is limited lol |

I am hugely envious of your Man Cave! We have the opposite in our place. The Mrs has her room with all her horror movie stuff and make up etc, (I'm trying not to call it a Lady Cave, it sounds weird). I need a workshop...
The Wales trip looks great dude! Makes me want to take the trip myself, not sure my car in it's current state would make it haha great pictures though!

The plane is a BAC Strikemaster. Great pictures as ever, I really do love how simple the silver car looks. It just looks right |

The 1st September marked 4 years since my previous MX5 caught fire. On the 10th Sept it'll also be 4 years since i got the Purple MX,wow how time flies! The weekend just gone saw the return of JAE (Japanese Auto Extravaganza), the UK's only 4 day jap show. It was also a year ago i had the running/ECU problems coming back from the same show. You'll be glad to hear i made it there and back with no issues We went up with the club we always attend with,although attendance was very low this year,but we still had an awesome weekend. The week before the show i had one of the organizers ask for my car to be inside the hall for their Show & Shine    We stuck around till the end and watched the awards (couldnt get the car out any sooner). And to a huge surprise I ended up winning Best Mazda! Its great to finally see a reward for the work. A mag feature and trophey in one month is pretty awesome!  Monday just gone and me and the other half started to strip the daily MX. The MOT (annual inspection for those overseas) had an advisory of the passenger wing/fender due to corrosion. Managed to source a replacement along with another front bumper for a very good price. (bumper had severe paint cracking,so it made sense to change that too)  The bottom didn't look great...  Gave the inner wing and bumper fixing areas a coating of underseal before refitting  All back together along with an import plate surround and some 6mm front and 10mm rear spacers.  We also picked up a twin exhaust and silenced de-cat. The initial plan was to cut the existing bumper and eventually fit an R-Package rear lip. Then this Auto Joy/VIS Racing fibreglass bumper came up for sale locally so went with that instead  Found out the rear lights were siliconed in,which resulted in 2 snapped studs on the driver side light,luckily i had a spare pair of lights. Also swapped the broken number plate panel for my painted carbon fibre one i had on the other MX  So yeah.... we've done more to the daily MX in the last 2 weeks than we have all year lol |
