My Mazda MX5 S-Special Type II
Discussion
Decided to try to make my centre console a little more interesting, brought these, a leather armrest cover from Top gaitors and a chrome gear surround
Before -
Gear surround wasnt a great fit but got it to fit in the end, stitching on the armrest and gearstick now match the Sparco's which looks better.
How it looks now and pic of it fitted

Havnt updated this in a while now, only done a couple small bits to it.
Brought a different gear surround and gearknob from Jass Performance, gearknob is a great weight and feels great to drive with -
Fitted some smoked and shaved rear lights -
Have a rear lip on order to finish off the rear.
Big update next week tho

Big Update!
I brought a Black Supercharged car but ended up needing quiet a bit of work to get it up to scratch so decided to take the Charger set up off it and put it on this and sell it on.
Took it to Skuzzle Motorsport to swap the bits over from one car to the other and get it running ok and change the clutches.
Picked it up last week and goes well for a basic setup, the extra power is definately what the car needed
So Part that have been Fitted are:
Jackson Racing Supercharger Kit with standard pulley
Jackson Racing Powercard
Bipes
Intercooler
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch
CAS O'ring and Cam Gasket changed
Probably other bits i've missed out, now a couple pics
Received my Rear Lip too so when I get a min i'll get it fitted

She's a beaut!
What's with the gawdy steering wheel though buddy? Shouldn't yours have had a Nardi on it from the factory?
Its the standard Momo Airbag wheel that came on this model, cant be assed with taking the airbag out TBH so probably just keep this one. What's with the gawdy steering wheel though buddy? Shouldn't yours have had a Nardi on it from the factory?
Would love a Momo Prototipo wheel tho
I had the same model...Had a Nardi-Torino non-airbag wheel (not the wooden rim but the plastic 3-spoke) and a Nardi-Torino gearknob too. Was it a factory extra do you think (the airbag)?
Also, in something as old as this the airbag probably isn't up to much and it would really benefit the look of the cockpit IMO just to swap out the big OEM plastic wheel

I thought the Airbag was a standard item on the later Mk1's, this ones a 98' might be wrong, might change it one day Also, in something as old as this the airbag probably isn't up to much and it would really benefit the look of the cockpit IMO just to swap out the big OEM plastic wheel

I had an airbag in my 1994 model. Took it off and replaced it with the three spoke OEM Momo wheel which looks much better.
Th airbag removal looks complicated but it's actually very easy, if you're interested drop me an email and I'll show you how to do it.
Thanks for the offer, going to stick with this one for now, if I change it in the Future may need the info Th airbag removal looks complicated but it's actually very easy, if you're interested drop me an email and I'll show you how to do it.
Brought some new ARB links and new bolts as old ones looked a bit knackered, also brought some Black Hammerite to have a go at painting the Suspension Arms and ARB's while I was at it.
Been off last couple days so cracked on with the rear, what it looked like before I started -
and all done on the rears now, also repainted the brake Calipers -
Think they look alot better now painted and hopefully protect them from rust a bit more too.
Just got the front to do now
