All my parts arrived this morning from MX5part.co.uk, awesome guys, fantastic service and very phone friendly. Delivery meets my stringent packing quality approval too

The parts ordered from the garage havnt arrived though. I rang them and they are more than happy to do all the work as one, with cam belt, oil change, alignment, etc using my supplied parts  

Love my local garage. Im just a bit gutted it will have to wait until after the weekend now.

Got some Silkolene Silktran Syn 5 coming in for the gearbox and diff, should make 1st/2nd much smoother. Already got some Mobil 1 0w40 for the engine.

Damn. Im jealous! Havent had a manual shift car in years. :cry: Sold the motorbike last spring. I have clutch withdrawal. :cry:

Still no pics dude  :?

Is it barbie pink with teddy bear alloys or something?

Its probably red, which is the most common MX5 color, AFAIK, and the least attractive. Not that Id say no to a red one at the right price.

There are scads of them in this neighborhood in various colors. Im rather partial to the gen. II in soft white. Very understated.

Ive literally not had time this week, I was going to take some down at the garage and forgot, Ive been far too busy in the day to take any.

Ill have some next week when the car is scrubbed up a bit. Promise

Should be Monday/Tuesday when its fresh out of the garage.

Its silver, guys.

Silver is perfect for a custom pinstriping pattern - if you can afford it.

Speed Racer Mach 5 door decals, tbqph.

Doesnt stop you doing both does it?  :mrgreen:

If Clockd decides he wants to go cheap there are ready made pinstriping decals too, the problem is doing it nicely rather than making it a chavmobile

The sky blue sorta colour is the nicest on the mx5 imo, or white.

Shouldnt that be Maxi racing though?

Red requires too much buffing to look anything but shabby. Grey and cream can take some dirt and still look good. Never liked blue on MX5s--if it were an OS it would be XP running the stock theme.

I love red cars (my lude is red). But youre right, its a bitch to keep the colour good :/
