Hi from Holland

[MLZ]

Hi guys,

I've been lurking Clubroadster for a while and I've had a good time over there.
Untill it got too crowdy and I really, really hate commercails and ads that have nothing to do with our beloved automobiles! So it was time to check out this funky fresh forum

Some stuff about myself and my red raptor.

My name's Michael and I was born in Australia @ March 29th 1986 blablabla and ended up in the cold and small country of the Netherlands!
I'm like you guys, a car lover, enthusiastic and passionate and I enjoy getting greasy fingernails from my EU MX-5.
Recently I had my first trackday experience in my lovely, little, red, riding roadster and it was bloody great! I'll be at every monthly trackday @ Circuit Park Zandvoort.
My way of working is function over form so you'll never catch me doing a wire-tuck or with powdercoated wishbones. I rather keep the mechanical part up and running.
And if it takes two days longer to finish the job and get it done good, I'm finished two days later.

Enough about me, here's my car:

Thanks guys
I've been working om my MX-5 for about a year now after I had an accident and totalled my Miata, after having that one for almost three years.

Here's a little update.
I've installed my T.R. Lane harness warp-around bar and smaller windshield fluid reservoir so I can put my shock tower brace back.

Pics or it didn't happen:

We finally had a bit of sun today! That ment it was time to install my I.L. Motorsport 40% short shifter.








The aluminium bush makes it all more rigid and less shift stick sway in corners. Perfect in combination with my GarageStar 4" (10 cm) shift extender.
