jumping350 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Il try and keep this brief but a bit of a story to it so il bullet point it to make things quicker. -Snapped Achillies Tendon - havent walked/driven for 6 months will slowly be coming back but told in my physios own words ' no you cant **** around with cars or lift heavy things till sometime in 2018!!!') -Subaru has run out of tax/mot and needs a lot doing to it to get it where I want, which now I cant do until 2018!! -Lost love of Subaru now and bored of it, been there done it, tick the box and move on i think - will strip it of good parts put back to standard and then sell it cheap running as a track car or someones project -350z S/C is staying but a bit too brutal to go straight back in and learn to drive after a snapped tendon especially being my right leg -Decided to get a runabout already done/modded but still a bit unique in looks but some other mug has done the work -Also was highly unsure of what to get thats cheapish but still a good laugh but wanted to get something that will motivate my rehab and help get me focussed on training and recovering quicker -Mainly it ticked all my childhood boxes, always wanted a black car, always wanted a convertible but not a ragtop, needed to look mean Slight issue is I now have 3 cars and one leg and I cant drive any of them so my man maths hasnt quite worked out here Enter the new daily driver............... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay84 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I like. Even the wing suits it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 I like. Even the wing suits it. Yeah I was 50/50 with the wing but its actually growing on me and does suit the car,, in real life its not as big as you think which is good, but can take it off from the mounts (leaving mounts on boot) if I choose but not sure yet. Good to have the option though What do you reckon forum big wing or no big wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 given the aggressiveness of the car in general i'd say a wing suits it however, it looks a bit weird having two on there... i'd lose the factory fit low spoiler, and keep the high wing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumping350 Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Not really done much as my leg is still on the mend, but managed to drop in my carbon front upper strut bar today...found it in the boot ...result! Also removed the big spoiler today to spray it gloss black to match car as its still in a dull base colour and next on the list is to remove the 16 year old Sony stereo with 10 disc changer Edited April 29, 2017 by jumping350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) My mate took my Mazda out the other night for a spirited drive and slipped off the edge of seat and banged his head on the inside window/hardtop Enter a set of Cobra Imolas (I test fitted them and they are more comfy than I imagined, although I looked like a complete knob trying to get out of them with one busted leg)! and I said I wouldnt do any mods to this one Edited May 12, 2017 by jumping350 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 This is a safety related mod so it's fine.... Nice looking seats (and car!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) This is a safety related mod so it's fine.... Nice looking seats (and car!) Thanks bud! Thats what I keep saying with every mod I do including the roll bar im considering now. I must say though modding the Mazda is a lot cheaper affair than the Zed luckily im pretty much complete on that front with zeditis Edited May 13, 2017 by jumping350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 For safety's sake you need a more powerful engine for safer over takes, bigger brakes to help with hard braking necessities, etc etc. The list goes on I'd say. Looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Ive been wrestling with those seats to get them in but finally managed it and also decided to fit an alarm and central locking which was a nightmare but happier its got something now instead of nothing ....pics to follow..... What im really excited about is a mod that im probably the only one with (I thought the modding would stop but couldn't pass this up), I get comments about my front bumper all the time as its some JDM unicorn stuff but this will take it to the next level Let me introduce you to the only targa top for a mx5 that is known ...over here anyway, its a bit beat up paint wise and seals need replacing which I have most already but nothing I cant fix/get and bring back to life, its structurally sound, no dents and looks oem and fits perfectly so some R&D has gone into this but has been sitting in someones garage for last 2 years ready to be restored, its another JDM mystery it seems Edited June 9, 2017 by jumping350 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 That's ace. I assume room in the boot to store the lid so you don't get caught in the rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) yep fits behind seats on shelf, got the best of both worlds now Edited June 9, 2017 by jumping350 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 a few pics from recent mods some of the nightmare wiring for alarm Cobra Imolas finally in with the doors being able to shut! Never had a convertible and first time I put the roof down so thought I would throw a pic in, thought it would look odd with roof down but its ok in my eyes and the final piece of the puzzle...tagra time!

m4nn13 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This is so cool! My stepdads got an mx5 but has done nothing to it, this may inspire him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
