15x7 et28? Interested to learn if you need any arch pull for them.
I’m currently running 15x7 et35, but looking for replacements.

They are ET40
The original mirror in our 1992 Eunos was a bit corroded, so we have replaced it with a more modern looking one from an Audi TT. It’s a bit more in leeping with the modern interior of our MX-5e.
I’ve updated my 3D printed design a bit for the wireless phone charger. This uses the metal part of the ash tray but turns it into something useful 
They look great, where did you order them from?

A trial fit showed that they fit perfectly and are going to look fantastic too 
Just need to sort out the CAN Bus compatible TPMS, then we can fit the Yokohama AD08RS rubber.

We have purchased a Tesla iBooster (2nd gen) to provide electrical assistance to the MX-5e braking system. This is being written up as a project in its own right on the OSSEV website.

I’m taking delivery of a new Suzuki Swift Turbo “Soft Hybrid” on Thursday.
I’ve no idea exactly how charge harvesting actually works…but as in turbocharging it’s close to additional “extra 13 BHP” for nowt. I know it’s about fuel saving & legislation etc…
Really odd…but one Swift Sport Forum…supposed to be the best with real adults in it…have been reporting for a couple of years re rolling roads at properly set up preformance tuners these wee beasts are actujally churning out not the "“factory” 139 bhp but some are easily popping out 150 + odd bhp thanks to these lovely naughty people in Japan. The Sports are made only by Suzuki in Japan still. With something weighing about 3 Kit Kat wrappers it should be fun. Same engine the much bigger and heavier Vitaras etc. Of the stupid £23.600 k it’s costing, it’s said 7k of it is the drivetrain. 
I’ll be taking an interest here.

This tale is getting exciting. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing photos.

Finished stripping the heater matrix, repainting the flaps + adding new foam. The two parts can now be clipped back together and a high-voltage PTC heater installed. It’s really important that you take lots of photos before you take it apart

I’m sure you’re already aware of the potential hazard, but just in case, please be aware of the melting point of the plastic…
I wasted weeks on them when the PTC elements were first commercial. We tried some in Arctic-ised equipment, but gave up because we could not arrange a satisfactory temperature limiter on all contact points for the elements retrofitted in existing gear. We chose simpler alternative solutions; low temp lubes for the moving parts, leave the gear outside to keep dry (!), and wear all battery packs inside operators clothing.

The Tesla iBooster has arrived. We can no swap out the standard brake assistance to 12V dc powered. The goal is to have programmable regenerative braking based on driving mode.

Because the MX-5e is is black and will be repainted metallic black, we have gone for a “stealth” look with most of the lighting. These are the new side repeaters and they are basically invisible until they are switched on.
We are also converting the “marker lights” (reflectors) to be additional indicators too.
This involves adding some wiring as these are not normally lit up.

Things have been moving slowly this month as my Dad has been ill, following a heart attack and stroke. I had to be there for him. He died last week 
Things should move forward much quicker next month. We have now bought the motor and inverter to go in the MX-5e.

Sorry for your loss.
Still miss my Dad…
So sorry for your loss. Sad news indeed.
Hope you’re ok.
