So what have you treated your MX5/Eunos to recently?
Discussion
Nothing fancy, some new floor mats as the underside of the drivers one disintegrated and it ended up folding itself under the pedals, which wasn't fun
Also, a while back, I replaced the battery with a non-standard one which is more powerful but a little taller, so I cut and re-welded the battery bracket bar to make it fit.

Just got my Eunos back after getting it fully undersealed at the same place as akaRob up above.
Really chuffed with the finish, fully cavity waxed as well so should hopefully keep the tinworm at bay for a couple of years.
I have ordered some retro switch hazard and light switches from Revlimiter which should arrive in the next week or so.
I also got a set of tuner wheelnuts from Driftworks to go with my new alloys - need to get the wheels sealed with GTechniq C5 and then get some tyres fitted - no great rush as the car won't be doing many miles over the winter.

Brilliant, Daz. Gave the Caterfields a run for their money even straight out of the pits then?
Amazing what a Sunday morning run over Harting Down can lead to isn't it?
Cheers, Pewe
cheers Pete,
to be fair, between me and my Lad taking turns at the wheel the tyres didnt have time to cool down during pit stops straight out on sticky Yokos chasing down whatever we could. The car was exceptional, the first time ive really pushed it to the limits on the track and it felt really good, progressive slide and excellent turn in, Lezbo still wont get in it though, reckons its gonna kill me one day

New sills, a rear arch and a front wing. All done by those lovely chaps at The MX5 Restorer.
Few other little bits too.
Have to say, their work is absolutely first class, needs a full machine polish and gtechniq application now. Also a wheel refurb to bring them back up to standard.
They're having mine in soon for some fettling.Few other little bits too.

I haven't taken any pics yet, but I fitted some mk2.5 black leather "surfboards". Massive difference in comfort. They're slightly too high, but a smaller wheel should sort that.
Literally four bolts to refit, but a word of caution - if your Eunos has a seatbelt buzzer, you'll need to swap the belt buckles from the old onto the new seats. The mk2.5 ones go to a different connector.
