That hard top always throws me for a loop. Never sure if I like it or not.
That is the only car that hardtop looks good on, to me. It really gives the car a proper sinister look.
I have also had a Kanspo hardtop on my old red Pitcrew back in the day whilst also had a Kanspo hardtop on the corns roadster when I owned it.
I think it has worked best on this car. Against my old red Pitcrew I think the colour of the car, the arches and stance help.
The Kanspo hardtop needs the right car to work. On a stock (ish) car they don’t work IMO. There is one for sale here in the UK and I’ve thought for the GReddy Roadster but don’t think it would work.
Brief video of the Pitcrew Roadster at the MOT station.

It was a good day to be out in it mate.
The stalks are by a chap who used to be on mx5nutz back in the day when it was busy. He was a jeweller or watchmaker if memory serves me right and did these as a bit of fun on the side. When I put them in the Pitcrew I also bought and put a set in the Corns. I think the chaps name on Mx5nutz was FreakyRoadster.
They do irregularly come up for sale and I put a set in the GReddy a few months ago.
Played with the roadsters today and took a video of my silver roadster.

Thanks to @yellowgloves.na8 on Instagram I now have some ‘animated’ versions of 3 of my roadsters. I had seen Pete do something cool whilst the chap who owns my old Corns Roadster had the Corns Roadster done by @yellowgloves.na8.
My next step is to find someone who can do a custom vinyl sticker of each so I can put a copy in each car (under the trunk lid, etc. for example or inside the glove box).

A little UKDM. I have a JDM key barrel cover in the Tuckin99 Roadster but had this done in the UK and customised for the GReddy demo roadster.

I also have a similar one for the Pitcrew Roadster that says S-Limited. Both have been done in a ‘Eunos’ font type. Not bad for around US$10 each.
Few updates.
The MK1 RS-Limited passed its national inspection test (MOT). Next month all being well it hopefully goes in for a makeover, which will be good.

For some reason this RS-Limited seems so much quicker then other MK1s I’ve had which are standard. It’s very responsive and pulls well. Not sure why as same mechanics as R-Limited and I’ve had other RS-Limited and never thought the same.
Likewise I’ve sold the black hardtop on the GReddy and bought a replacement white hardtop. It meant a drive round the M25 (London orbital motorway) and the longest journey I’d done in the car.

Finally a few shots of the RevLimiter gauges, AWD needle covers and GReddy dial surround.

Thanks for reading.
Nice, I´m looking forward to the RS-limited makeover.
I know an unregistered RS-limited in Germany but sadly some things need to be done and the seats are missing.
For me the seats are key and a big price to get hold (if you can separately). Rightly or wrongly I was responsible for a few RS-Limiteds losing seats and wheels back in the day as I never thought they would command a premium so where they were rough sold the bits off. Interestingly one has been restored and the original bits put back and think that’s now in Italy.
In other news I trimmed some Nakamae red leather I had on the a-pillars and interior windscreen surround. I’d done this before on the Pitcrew so the GReddy now has something similar.

Thanks for looking.
Ordered a little while ago from Japan. Zoom Engineering centre console. Custom order as they don’t normally do this make-up of colours.

This part provides the full Zoom Engineering parts like I have in the silver car and in the black roadster (although that could be RS Products).
