    My Roadster Build

    Hey everyone! Been a member here for a few months and decided it was time to make a build thread. I've never posted my car here before as I generally use Instagram (@ADLMX5) but I figured why not start.

    The car is a 1990 MX5 (saying miata is shunned in Australia) which I bought 6 months ago from an elderly woman. I've spent the first few months of ownership tidying the car up and making sure it's maintenance was up to date as well as collecting a few parts to slowly start modifying it.

    When I purchased the car it was completely stock other than some lowering springs and disgusting wheels. The plans for this car are to make it into a hills/touge car but (try) keep it daily driveable in the process.

    The modifications I've done so far are as follows:

    Interior:

    Reverse base of ashtray
    Sunvisor Delete Plug / Gopro mount
    Momo Prototipo - to be installed
    Interior LED footwell lights plus flipped factory housings
    Broadview Flat 300mm Rearview Mirror

    Exterior:

    Garage Star Number Plate Side Mount Bracket
    Garage Vary front lip
    OMP Green Tow Strap
    Stubby Aerial
    Rear Bumper Cut

    Tyres/Brakes:

    13x6 +13 BBS Mahles planning on either selling these once I get 15x10s or keep as daily wheels
    949 Racing 7075 Forged Alloy Wheel Nuts
    949 Racing Anodized Aluminum Valves
    ARP extended wheel studs - to be installed

    Handling:

    AT Performance Delrin Door Bushings
    Mazdaspeed B Pillar Braces
    Mazdaspeed Harness Bar
    Brown Davis Rollbar

    Cooling:
    NIL

    Engine / Transmission:

    Manifold heat shield painted
    Valve cover painted

    Sound System:
    Kenwood Headunit
    Kenwood Speakers
    3rd Gen iPod Touch AKA TougePod

    Deletes:
    Baby Teeth Delete
    Sunvisor Delete
    Soft top Delete
    Power Steering Delete
    AC Delete
    Washer Bottle
    Carbon Cannister Delete
    Trunk spare tyre / Jack Delete

    As you can see the car still has a long way to go but hopefully you guys will enjoy the slow and steady progress
