1993 NA6 From Europe

I don’t know which use you intend for your car. But for Trackdays (30 min sessions) I would choose another maker. Booth in Medium compound the 888 start to overheat after 15 min in a 3 mile track, where the Yokohama A048 keeps griping. And when overheated the 888 stars do wear really quick . If you use the car for the occasional blast around mountain roads and a few auto-x and the lot I think they are really good. Grippy from cold, hard tyre wall (not as good as the Yokohama) and in general a good feeling.

Thank you! Usage is winding roads and the Nordschleife (Nuerburgring). I will try them next spring. Season is over...

Nitto NT 01 are supposed to be the best all around track day tire. 205 50 15 is a good choice.

Thank you but I want to keep the stock 14" wheels. ;)

Welcome, and big ups on the clean mx-5. Where did you source the carbon hardtop?

Hello Vergard, thanks for the kind words. The Hardtop was bought from a friend of mine who entered a Group Buy made a Couple of Years Ago. The Hardtop was bought from the Japan If I remember correct. It´s super light I can tell you that. One person picks it up pretty easily.

Really? I Went over there 2 years ago. Already missing it badly. My plan is in 2014 go over there in my Mx-5. Well, it seams that I have someone to contact and arrange things now.

The 888 Seems to me a very good choise for the Ring. The A048 takes a time to heat up and may be dangerous in the first part of the track. Going down Hatzenbach in cold tyres is not my ideia of fun

Thanks again! Please just send me a quick message and I will sort out something. I am living just 140 km away from the Nordschleife.

Very Clean Roadster!!

[Filipe Dias]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Meanwhile I managed to score a few parts for the BP4W build.

Kn Typhoon :



And this Manifold


The Typhoon will be wrapped in heat reflective tape like Emilio says to. The Manifold I have no clue what is it. I find odd to have 3 holes for O2 sensor? Maybe was on a supercharged car one was the stock, the 2nd for the Wideband and the 3rd maybe for EGT?!

I really don´t know.

Que xaruto mais feio. e não há suporte para ninguem.

Vegard: That HT was mine and as you outbig me on a runabout fuel lid some years ago i wont tell were i got....
OK. I will, This HT are from a 5 one off carbon HT custom made that weight around 11kg complete with latches and rear plexiglass. There was a GB around 5 years and I enter it and got one for me.

As i´m getting my car back to near stock, Filipe got my HT

That's a really clean car, I'm jealous of your garage!

[theothersawyer]

Very clean car! Nothing is better than a nice clean simple NA!!!! Love it!

[Filipe Dias]

Finally on it´s way!







Harddog Rollbar

Well, in the meantime. Since I have the Racing Beat front hollow and run R Compound Tires I thinkg is better to be safe than sorry.

Heavy Duty Stuff

Well, the new sway mounts are installed but I can´t say how much it was a pain to install them. I discovered that you have to "arrange" a new way for the steering cooler lines, and also remove the old sways mounts, but they are spot welded, so this is a non reversal mod. Just to warn you guys.

Anyway, after the works the car was full off dirt, so i decided to take care off it.






After some poorboys and mother stuff is now ready to be on the garage for a few days.

So shiny!

[Filipe Dias]

In the meantime I sent the car to the Mechanic to install some stuff I bought:

- 949 Racing BBK 10.75
- ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid
- 60 MM Radiator
- Gaz Gold Pro Coilovers (400lb/300lb) with NB TopHats
- Frame Rails
- Install HardDog RollBar
- Install Walbro 255
- Install Longer Wheel Studs
- Install new aligment Bolts
- Hawk DTC 70 Pads
Some pictures:

And finally a picture of the instalation going on




Soon to be ready for colection I hope
