Anniversary Photoshoot
It was a great day for a photoshoot today (albeit the temperature being in the mid to high 30's. Sydney summer is in full swing). Always good to meet up with Daniel and Joseph to take a few photos and as a novice photographer, always willing to learn from experienced guys like these two.
Exactly one year ago to the day is when I met up with Joe and we did a photoshoot of my then bone stock NA8. I had owned the MX-5 for a total of sixteen days when we met up. It just so happened that he and I were both free and when I told him I had bought an MX-5, he was keen to see it and take some photos of it. Not only that, he had purchased a new lens earlier that week, so it was the perfect opportunity to test it out.
One year on and approximately 10,000kms later, the car is still going stronger than ever and it still gives me a smile ear to ear whenever I drive it. There are still a lot of things I'd like to do with this car but for the immediate short term, it'll just be top down driving until the end of summer.
2017 will see a couple more additions to my NA8. In order, here's what is planned :
* Maxim Works headers.
* Fujitsubo Legalis R catback exhaust.
* 4.1 Torsen LSD.
* Samco silicone cooling hose replacements.
* Nakamichi CD400 Headunit.
* Retrofit JDM Eunos Roadster fog lights.
* Refreshing all OEM suspension components and control arms.
* Mazdaspeed suspension bushings replacements.
* Mazdaspeed differential mount bushings replacements.
* Retrofit OEM NA8 A/C unit with all component parts.
* CocoMats Sisal custom floor mats.
* Maruha faster power window regulators.
* Nakamae tan plain doorcards with tan door pull straps.
* Nakamae tan quilted seats with the seats re-foamed and re-upholstered.
* Robbins cloth soft top with glass rear window, no demister lines.
* Wilwood 4 pot front brake calipers.
* BBS Mahle 14x6 +13 wheels in silver (second set of wheels).
The photo set includes photos of Joe's limited edition Lexus IS200 as well as Daniel's Jackson Racing supercharged NA6CE MX-5.
Happy new year everybody! Wishing everyone a prosperous 2017 with nothing but happiness and success!
