    Work Meister CR01 15x8 -3ET 4x100 fitted to the work in progress Pitcrew Roadster. It came with SSR Formula Mesh but 15x7 (I think) ET25(ish) but with 30mm spacers including a 4x114.3 to 4x100 adaptor. I wanted something wider. These have 205/50/15 tyres so the feel the arch better too.

    Haha. Thanks. I looked at lots of options including getting custom made SSR wheels done and Watanabes but the price for them wasn’t far off what I paid for the car originally. These came up for a good price and with be size and tyres nicely fill the Tuckin99 arches. Highlights the rest of the poor paint work but do sit on the car better the the SSR Mesh which now look a bit small in comparison.

    Cleaned the Green Pitcrew today and the new wheels. Also the Active ‘bachelor’ style bar had stickers removed. Went for a drive to see what the wheel fitment was like.

    Since getting the Green Pitcrew I had wanted some different seats. Ideally something retro. Came across these Cobra Classics which fitted the bill and luckily were on Mx5 runners (think from Japan) so sit you low and were an easy fit.

    Finally with the yellow J-Limited fitted new silicone black hoses and fresh coolant. The car is low mileage but hasn’t seen much use in years before I got it so wanted to make sure it was good.

    The seats are a fantastic addition to the PitCrew and will probably look clean a lot longer than the cream ones. How is the fit vs the Type R’s?

    Thanks Pete. The Nakamae still win but these work well. I bought unseen and expected to be Mx5 runners underneath with adaptor plates. However they came on custom runners so sit you lower the the UK cobra supplier offerings more like the Nakamae. They also hug you tight. I think these may have come from Japan in an import as a mates old red Pitcrew had the exact same seat set-up and runners.

    I am pleased as I wanted something else in the car as didn’t think the cream leather seats suited it and these are more in-keeping.

    Few small updates. I like the ‘Eunos’ alloy gear gaiter surround. I have this part in my Mica Satellite Blue R-Limited and my Yellow J-Limited. Last few weeks I ended up buying 2 more. It’s surprising as they are difficult to get hold of and it took me a year or so to find the first one I got. They came as standard in the Japanese VR-Limited special edition and recently found out they were also a Japanese factory dealer option.

    Here it is in my Chaste White R-Limited:






    and Green Pitcrew







    Got to fix my V6 MR2 but hopefully some further plans for my MX5s soon.

    Thanks. Only forum I use is this one even though most members are a good distance from me. I like it as suits my interest in Roadsters. I’ve got my MR2 fixed as new alternator and belt fitted and all being well some other updates end of this week.

    Update and another roadster. This one is a MK1 Eunos Roadster RS-Limited. Importantly it is complete with the Recaro seats and all the RS bits bar the BBS wheels (which I have hopefully found) whilst the suspension has been changed to Tein Flex since being in the UK. History of the car was it was imported in 2006 to the UK from Japan and has had 2 owners before me. It’s not mint but not a dog either and importantly seems solid on he whole and over the years previous owners have done lots of mechanical and service work (last owner 12 years enthusiast). Likewise whilst it has been enthusiast owned in the last 12 years it has been stored for around 5 or 6 of these years which I think helps explain the fact the car seems quite solid.

    Also so if anyone knows the wheels on it that would be cool. They are 15’ and looks like Watanabes but don’t have the Watanabe logo. Likewise they don’t have the Black racing logo so I’m a bit stuck on brand.

    Congrats mate - perfect addition to the fleet. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

    It looks like it has the side skirts but can't tell 100%? If so, are they black like the front/ rear R lip or color matched?

    Haha ��. This is my 5th RS-Limited so that’s 1% of all built owned by me! Of those the first was broke for parts as was a rust bucket (seats are in my silver car), 2nd was without the seats and is still around today to the best of my knowledge, 3rd is owned now by a MX5 specialist and will be for sale shortly I believe while the fourth still lives but I removed the seats as they were trimmed in LE red leather so I used in my Pitcrew till I got Nakamae seats for it.

    This one was a built of an impulse buy. I woke up early Tuesday morning and everyone else alseep, has a coffee and looked on the UK MX5 Owners Club for first time in ages and saw it for sale. It was up for £3k, which was very cheap and other members had highlighted this so the seller had revised what he wanted. We spoke, I took a look and figured it was a solid enough car, mostly complete for a RS Limited so took a punt.

    it means I probably need to sell something. I’ve hopefully found some 15’ Mazda BBS wheels for it whilst rest will wait. It doesn’t have the factory side skirts but does look like it in the photos.
