Interior choices

Started the hunt for some new seats and as im on a tight budget second hand will be the way to go. What ive been eyeing up however is these:

Type B Leather front seats from a Eunos 100 or BG mazda 323 Sedan. Sedan seats dont have the yellow piping but are much harder to find.

Next are the same seat design but made from Suede, very hard to find, and because of this very hard to find good pictures of. They come from a Mazda Infini, Incredably rare. I used to have a full set but i sold it many years ago, the seats are so comfortable and the Suede is nice, ladies love it too!

Otherwise if i can pick up a cheap set of Recaros from an old lancer, evo or bighorn i might go with them. Opinions?

A word of thanks

Work on the Black Beast Begins

Well work finally began on the Mx5, first things first where to remove the rusty ECU/Foot plate on the pasengers side and move the ECU under the dash then texture coat the floors to make them look a bit better and to waterproof them. Ended up installing a head deck and rewiring all the speakers so they work while i was at it. Sadly the speakers in the seats are a bit rough but im replacing the seats anyway, more on that in a future post.

And all the lovely Rusty peices i removed from the passenders side.

Got my carbon tail lights in, had these sitting for about 2 years waiting for a car to put them on, got them for free to. They are not perfect but they will do for now, Got my Mazdaspeed Exhaust Peice on too.

Also took out the bits of rust i found in the sills and painted them, and tidied up the front bumper a bit, car got extreamly dusty, joys of working in a panel shop. Fitted up a headlight cover get a bit more cold air into the intake, cover was also a freebe ive aquired.

Thats about all i recall doing, got a list of thigns to look for and do over the week so should have another update within a few days. Thanks for looking.

It all starts with V

Hey everyone who reads this, basic blog on all things automotive that happen in my life, i guess ill start with wht i currently have and let things unroll from there.

Here is my recent aquisition, 1991 Eunos Roadster (Mazda MX5 / Miata) Special edition in brilliant black with a dead roof, LSD, and half the interior missing. Drives beautifully though.

And then i have my 1989 Mazda 626 GT Sport coupe. Nz New, 2.0 DOHC FE3 Motor, Mazdaspeed Strut Brace, Vogtland lowering springs, 17x7 Nippon racing Mags.

Thats all for now really, will update later today as i spent yesterday and will be spending today tidying the MX5 so will have more pics and things to show. Ciao.
