RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 14-01-2013

From the very slight incline haha
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 14-01-2013
Haha, awesome.
When I hit the deck on that speedbump it didn't feel like it would come off
I actually remember reversing and then realising you'd stopped, turning to Katie and saying "what's he doing?" "yep, the bastards taking pictures"
RE: Project Babyliss - Matt - 15-01-2013
Ahaha I think it's funny you even scraped on the little raised bit. You stood no chance against thoose speed bumps haha
RE: Project Babyliss - Ed Doe - 15-01-2013
Even I have to admit.... that car is seriously win now.
Impractical car ftw
RE: Project Babyliss - C.A.R. - 15-01-2013
Tis looking good mate. Height is not to my taste but I appreciate that it looks good.
Your headlight covers are in the wrong place, what happens is when you work under the bonnet you tend to lean on them, which is why you have a gap behind the headlight covers and the bonnet. If you open the bonnet and give the headlights a little tug from the back (pulling upwards) you should get them flush with the bonnet again.

I didn't realise what was taking you so long on that first bit of what i thought was flat concrete, didnt realize there was a slight 30mm dip haha, When you get the chance get a measurement from the centra rails to the floor im curious what clearance you have, i have 80mm so im guessing yours is about 50mm
RE: Project Babyliss - puglove - 15-01-2013

Cheers Chris, I knew it wouldn't be to be honest

Haha, yeah, what you on about... it was massive!
. Okay will do tomorrow when it's back on the deck, it's up on stands to fit the exhaust at the moment... Oh, and it does have a cat! Damn. Will also measure that tomorrow and get one ordered at some point.

RE: Project Babyliss - puglove - 15-01-2013
What's insurence like on a 1.6 version? i may sell the dt and acedently buy one in the summer, need to have a drive in one 1st may have to have a drive around the 2nd hand dealers at the weekend
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 15-01-2013
I'm paying 800 TPF&F, it's an Eunos though not an MX-5. If you do, pick one up before summer (now would be ideal) otherwise when the sun comes out prices will shoot up...
Guarantee if you drive one, you'll want one... They're so much fun, it's the instant turn-in I think I noticed first.

Isnt the eunos the 1.8 sporty spec? there fore moe moneys for insurence?
And yeah i know what the price range change is like on drop tops lol
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 15-01-2013
No, Eunos is the JDM version of the MX-5, but Brentacre didn't care that it's an import. Mine's a 1.6, UK and JDM versions come with different engines and spec
RE: Project Babyliss - C.A.R. - 16-01-2013
Imports are infinitely better, but some insurance companies can sting you more for an import model.
JDM models typically have more options and better specs.
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 16-01-2013
Yeah Brentacre didn't care mine was an import, same price. But a lot do... I'm happy with the spec of mine, only thing I'm missing really is the boot release (won both cables and bracket with pulls for £1.04 just got to fit it...) and central locking, which I keep forgetting.
So got the exhaust fitted today, bit of a pain as the cat wouldn't separate from the centre section... So instead of inevitably snapping the studs on the cat, I removed it whole and went to MX5 Parts andd bought this:
As I was going to fit one anyway figured I'd just get it done now.
All fitted:
Sounds awesome, hopefully get better when it beds in too.
Took a a few pics of their demo car running 230bhp when I picked up the decat too:
RE: Project Babyliss - Fozzy - 16-01-2013
Same decat as mine, its not really silenced enough though. i spent ages in mx5parts when i bought mine the show car is so clean i really want the leather seats.
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 16-01-2013
Really? Mine seem fine, but then I like loud... and this isn't really. Nor is it raspy, it's deep and aggressive. Yeah I could spend all day in there... it's all far too tempting. I was on lunch though so couldn't hang around. Yeah it's spotless isn't it! Turbo kit looks good, but you'd hope so for £1800...
RE: Project Babyliss - Fozzy - 16-01-2013
Im sure mine didn't really quieten it down due to the dual exhaust and only a back box and straight centre pipe. I also had the same problem with the cat bolts had to take it all off in one then cut them off (i think i need my cat for MOT)
For 1800 i would expect the pipe work to be a bit neater, what always annoys me is how everyone routes the turbo outlet up rather than down, seems far too messy.
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 17-01-2013
I would like to hear yours in person as I've heard good things about the MX5 Parts exhausts. Ah right must be common for them to seize then... What year's yours again? I'm lucky in that deportment as mine's ancient
.Yeah it is a lot of money and for that you'd want to be 100% happy, i know what you mean.
Couple more deliveries today, first up:

Momo Prototipo 20mm dish, another bargain eBay item.
It was pretty grubby though...

So gave it a going over with some compound, leather cleaner and leather conditioner:

Also, here you are Chris... I pulled the lids up so they sit a bit more flush:

Second arrival was a bootlid, so I can smooth a ducktail in as it'll need spraying anyway. Just got to get one now...
RE: Project Babyliss - samass - 17-01-2013
what are those silver droopy nipple looking things in the last pic?
RE: Project Babyliss - Scott - 17-01-2013
Winnnn. Much better with the aligned headlights. You'll have to take me out in this next time I'm down, can't wait to see it!
Actually maybe I shouldn't, I'll want one even more at that point.

RE: Project Babyliss - samass - 17-01-2013
that's what i thought, but they look more chromey than glass?
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 17-01-2013
They are very chromey... They will be coming off as soon as I can be bothered, can;t find the switch for them anyway

Yeah it is much better, small things eh. Yeah sure man. Well, have a drive, then you'll really want one
RE: Project Babyliss - Matt - 17-01-2013
I want a go!!! Me me me!!!
Looking like some awesome parts have turned up
Oh and I may have a very cheap ducktail spoiler for you
but I'll message you once I know for definatle
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 17-01-2013
Haha go for it
As I found today though, new exhaust doesn't like cambered roads. Or small stones. Or bumps.
Yeah man, love the new wheel. Only issue is it doesn't fit the boss
so new one ordered.Oh really? That'd be awesome
cheers!
RE: Project Babyliss - C.A.R. - 18-01-2013
Headlights look proper now
My work here is done, lol.
Any plans for the front number plate? Either stick-on or import / offset style?
RE: Project Babyliss - Curt - 18-01-2013
Glad you're happy
Yeah, most likely going for an offset plate
