    Thanks both of you, Felix certainly does take up all of my share time these days.

    Yes I have been working on some new parts for Roadsters, not a lot for NB's at the moment, mainly because I don't own one to make moulds from! I have been asked a few times about VVT pulley covers, so might look into it, just tricky with the CAS mount.

    I don't have any more pictures of the NB coupe, it was beautiful though. I think Pete has some more in his thread -

    Enjoy all the time you can have with him; he will be 18 in no time and he will have his own priorities/schedule before you know it. And thanks for the pointer on Pete's thread, I have already downloaded most of the material on my "inspiration" folder

    Regarding NB parts to take molds from, let me know what you need. We are at least at the same continent so I may be able to help ;)

    Well, not much to report... its been cleaned?

    Also I found myself a Mazdaspeed NA6 specific LSD on Yahoo auctions and had it sent over via Tomio san at Corn's giving it a once over. I can't find much information on them or how aggressive they are but thought it would be worth a try. They are designed to be fitted in the NA6 open diff casing (as I have now found out) so need to source one of those and swap it over. That will likely be a winter project for me.



    But if anyone has any more information about these, anything would be interesting.

    Very nice find! I have a B-Spec Eunos that has an interesting history, I was able to track down the original owner who was a Mazda tech while owning the car, he said my car in particular has a very special and rare diff that has a 4.88 gearing but it locks so easily under hard slow turning so if it is anything like mine it will be a lot of fun.

    Had a major update to my interior, all be it only temporary. I have had a set of Corn’s circuit type seats for a little while now tucked away for my Classic Mini project. This past weekend there was a show local to me at Beaulieu Motor Museum, and I would be taking my car to have on my trade stand. I fitted the seats a few days before, so that people could see what they are like and have a sit in them.

    I knew I would love them in the Eunos, and for ages I had held back on test fitting them in it because they aren’t destined for this car. As soon as I put the first one in… ‘Well damn, that looks annoyingly cool in there’, I think I need another set for the Mini!







    I got an opportunity to take some pictures in the lovely setting of the Beaulieu grounds after the show too.

    Sorry for the lack of updates.

    The Eunos has been a little neglected this year, mostly because I have been focusing on getting my Classic Mini dry built which has taken an enormous amount of time and effort. I have however been trying to pick up parts where I can for the Eunos, and I am collecting quite a stash, a stash that needs to be shared…

    Here we have a Jenvey NA6 ITB set up, I made the ram pipes myself and they are 70mm long. A NOS HKS NA6 flywheel, a pair of NA6 HKS 256 cams, and a pair of Mazdaspeed adjustable cam pulleys.

    Bring the noise







    Also if any of you were interested in the Mini, here’s a few pictures. Its taken me many many years to get to this stage

    Agree with Peter! Also, I know you are busy, but can we please have a build thread/presentation for the Mini as well?

    Interesting thought about posting about the Mini build on here, I may well do that.

    I had an excellent parcel arrive this week from Tomoyo san at Car Make Corn's. A Mazdaspeed A spec type 1 wing, found on yahoo auctions and I paid too much for it, but I wanted it. It came with a boot lid, and we quickly worked out why. The bolts were rusted solid and it wasn't coming off that boot lid. Dai san at Corn's kindly cut the wing off of it for me so that I didn't have to pay to ship it across the world and then remove it. Half an hour with an impact driver and I had the remains of the boot lid removed and other than that its in perfect condition.

    I have never been sure about a wing on my car, but this one just has something about it. Its been dropped off at my painter today to be painted PZ black, and then we will see. I am quietly confident.



    Also, I found a set of 4x100 15 inch Equip 02's a while ago. I have been stashing them whilst deciding when to do with them. Do I really need a 3rd set of wheels?

    I'm looking forward to seeing the Work Equip 02's as you know! Only other set I've seen in the UK were on Tom's Civic!
