Finally some pictures of my 5

few different mods on there so will start with latest and work backwards, still a few more to do though.

Like that. Get a proper import number plate on the offset though and front lip.

i have a laguna front lip but it needs fitting and trimming and im waiting till pay day before i get the import plate

Cool. I chopped a laguna splitter up for mine but went with body coloured OEM one in the end, looked much better.

not as good as if it were a black oem one tho

i was hoping to bring my car to the meet thursday but unfortunately she is poorly and i dont know whats wrong with her so im hopefully going to be in my girlfriends dads mx5 or my crummy little peugeot

there should be some people there with a decent bit of knowledge so you may be able to get some advice on how to fix it. What are the issues you've got???

overheating, iv taken out the thermostat, been advised that its more than likely not the water pump (have to take the timing belt off to change the waterpump so i wont be doing that) the rad is coming off tomorrow and being tested in grantham or peterborough and maybe a new one if thats the problem. apart from that im stumped.

did it have water in it?? (ie. no leaks)

If the engine is hot, does the rad feel hot??

ye when its overheating all the water from the rad is going to the overflow tank, the rad is out and being tested in a little bit and hopefully they will say just needs cleaning or a new rad. and there is one little part of the rad that i could put my hand on, was just luke warm.

fitted the new rad today and all seems to be ok so far so hopefully thats it sorted now, i am really gutted i couldnt make it last night as im not going to be able to come to a meet now until january

well bit of an update, she is all running sweet now, she does need a really good clean though but due to the hose pipe ban im unable to wash her. hopefully she will be shiny again soon and then hopefully i will be able to bring her along some time, will get some pictures this week to post up

if you have a pressure washer, just use it from a big bucket/wheely bin etc. as they will pull the water from it.

you can still use a hose pipe, just as long as its not connected to the mains ;-)

job done.

ive got a set of 30mm lowering springs for one of these if you want them

hmmm very tempting, was hoping for coilovers but not to sure if i can afford that yet

so very very tempting. let me know when you are selling them please

jack i hate you

sorry oli, will stop doing this now

still got my springs mate if you want them
