Madaboutmx5s Garage (bit of a thing for all things JDM when it comes to roadsters)

[— Madaboutmx5s —]

Hi Andy,

Hope your keeping well. I had been thinking of buying the moss part or the Beatrush part for a while. As mentioned what tempted me was the recent moss sale which knocked another 20% off. As I only use the car on good days I'm happy enough to run with this part. If it was a daily and used in winter I'd stick with the normal tray.

Surprised about the shocks? Have you tried speaking with Phil as imagine as they are his design he maybe able to help if spares are available, etc.

Cheers

James

James what front end does this Roadster have?? Pitcrew...........

[— Madaboutmx5s —]

Hi Anthony, this is a full pitcrew conversion so has the pitcrew front too. It's owned by a mate of mine. Needs a lot of money spent as is in roadworthy right now.

Some more work today on the roadsters. Got the Corns out of the garage and used some spare satin black hammerite to repaint the floors. It is a good few years since I had last repainted the floors and seeing as I had some spare hammerite round the house from another project used this to tidy up the floors.

who makes this rollcage?

[— Madaboutmx5s —]

Cage is by Saito roll cage. The car came from Japan with it.

Not a lot to report which is surprising for me but the black roadster is part way through some work so thought I would show an update.






So one the paintwork is done I have some custom order parts on the way for the interior and that will probably be it for a while.

Likewise the red pitcrew above owned by my mate is also being restored which is good news too as was looking rather sad for itself.

All of your Facebook posts about Pitcrew conversions are contributing to me starting to fall in love with them. And I really mean LOVING it. Also, I still envy you because of your rs limited kevlar seats..

Since you're in possession of those, I'm 90% sure we won't ever be able to become friends..

Haha. I don't think we could have been friends a few years ago when I was rs recaro city. I had around 4 separate sets. Now I only have the 2. I did have the Holy Grail of recaro seats a few years ago, the red versions from a rx7 spirit type r. Wish I had kept them.

On pitcrews when I first saw them I wasn't sure but got smitten looking at photos of cars like the blue potato in the US, the creme pitcrew in Japan, etc.

Have a good weekend.

James.

fine work as usual

God damn, everything works really well together, while each part individually can make our cars look awkward. Nice work!

[— Madaboutmx5s —]

Work done was the full respray and whilst that was done the side markers relocated, rear fog light removed and pitcrew panel blended, front bonnet area tidied up, rear bumper exhaust hold filled, radio aerial removed and blended plus some new parts like the red tonneau cover and the pitcrew racing single wiper.

I have to quote this so the pictures continue on this page! She looks AWESOME! The black really sets her off too. Have you thought about moving the mirrors to the fenders? Not now, of course, but have you ever?
