Such a beautiful roadster. Sorry I haven't kept up with this thread earlier.

Had a tiny parcel arrive from Rev9 a few weeks ago with some Zeromotive needle caps, and they have been fitted, very cute little things and match the Retro Modern dial and the Rev Limiter trim ring and panel nicely.



I also spent last week at Le Mans for the 5th year in a row, what a week! Got to meet Kamui and the number 6 Toyota too. It was such a shame that the number 5 stopped on the last lap, heart breaking. They deserved the win.

Jealous you were there for the Le Mans 24 for a week.But curious why you have Adam's rings and not the hazard flippy switches? Just nosy. And love the build!

I do like Adam's switches, for the windows and the hazards, but a little too retro for me. I like the simplicity of the stock ones, I changed the hazard switch to the early black version over the red one too. I also like the 'auto-up' feature of the stock window switches.

Did the 2 hour round trip to see my family yesterday

Curious, which exhaust is this? Fits perfectly with the OEM rear bumper and rear R-pkg lip.

Its a Moss Cobalt one, I would prefer something Japanese made, but this one fits nicely and sounds just right.

Love everything about this car Ben!

You wouldn't happen to have a video clip of your exhaust now would you? I'm looking at catbacks and have narrowed it down to Car Make Corns and Fujitsubo RM01A/Legalis R but honestly, I love all of them and having a hard time deciding but those two are on my shortlist.

[benpopham]

Thank you

Unfortunately I dont have a clip, there should be come on youtube though, they are quite a common exhaust.

I have a HKS super header with it, the tone is deep with no rasp at all. Very quiet at idle, pretty much stock noise level up to 4k rpm, and then it kicks in. I still have the OEM cat which helps to keep the noise down, and the Moss item comes with a secondary silencer too.

Damnit...I love my NB... but it's threads like these (among many others) that make me miss my NA - and want to get an NA...gah.

Got sent some pictures of my car a few days ago, looks neat under the trees.







I also had a parcel arrive from Car Make Corn's with some Garage Vary and Mazdaspeed goodies

The headlamp lid is being painted today.

Well it has been a bit of a quiet few months for me and the Eunos, I have spent most of the summer cycling to work and all my spare money has been spent on my wedding this November. I have been saving hard for my honeymoon to Japan though, and scheduled in lots of visits to the best shops the land of the rising sun has to offer.

I hadn't driven the Eunos for a few weeks, so I took her out for a good drive, oh how I had missed it.

Hey Ben

Do you have a night shot of the HVAC panel lit up when the headlights are on?
