That level of bodgery potentially putting people’s lives at risk is bordering on criminal.
When i was in restoration/refinishing i saw loads of that type of thing, chicken wire and newspaper seemed to be very popular.

Leading to RTA.s we attended …at worst…loss of life

Did he sell it in the end? Just sold my PRHT and already searching for its replacement, despite saying I’d leave it for a year… :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Had my first service done and the work for the recall carried out today at Mazda MKG3000 Twickenham. Parking Assist Unit - Reprogramming of parking assist unit. Thought the service was fairly reasonable at £310.

I’ve put the Carbon Miata rear diffuser on.

Nice and simple.

Removed front calipers from my NC.

Pistons and seals out , fairly cruddy and rusty piston.

Made a start on buffing down / removing years of various colours of paints applied by previous owners.

After many years of using Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam, I tried Touch-Less for the first time today. Very impressive results using recommended 2% PIR vs 4% with auto-foam.
For future maintenance washes I’ll be dropping down to 1%.

It’s been a year today since I picked up the ND, so to celebrate I’ve gone crazy with some carbon ‘look’ key covers! Woop! :partying_face:

To be fair they look to be decent quality and I can’t complain at less than £3 each…

Fitted an upgrade GPS/DAB/FM powered aerial. Was nervous about the radical solution but actually really pleased with the result.

Tomorrow I am starting the audio system upgrade to plug the aerial in to!

Changed the thermostat (2hour job). Top tip, make sure you have the right tools, it’s so much easier. Now


have a working temperature gauge again. Then in further prep for the trip to France :france: this summer changed the diff oil (as I wasn’t sure of the last time it was done). Lovely clean oil drained out, which confirms what I’ve thought for a while now, that this has been a well looked after NC :+1:

Not me doing it specifically however the very nice MOT tester gave it a clean bill of health, no advisories :grin:
