but cant find any of them anywhere. I dont suppose you happen to have any links for them as going to need some :)

Manufacturer: Jetpress
Part# CAC446-NAT
Supplier: http://www.comdir.co.uk/

They're not listed on comdir's website, but if you give them a call they should be able to sell you some. I think you have to buy a minimum of 100 though!

Can you do me a favour now you're almost finished!:D

Can you measure from the floor to the bottom rails at the front and rear wheels and let me know the ride height please? I'll be using the same shocks and springs so it will give me an idea of ground clearance. Also does it change ride height when you get in? Ta.:)

Almost finished??? I wish!

Here's my current ride heights, just bear in mind I've only slapped the suspension on there and not set it up in any way yet:

Front: 150mm
Rear: 170mm

I can't say I notice any movement when I get in it. I suspect the ride is going to be a little on the firm side!

No progress to report, as I've had bugger all garage time for the last month due to moving house...
I did manage to take a few snaps of the build when we dragged it out to move it:









Only moved half a mile or so, so decided to enlist the help of a couple of friends and push it to it's new home.
Managed to sit in it and steer for a small downhill stretch which felt great!

Sadly my new garage is still a single (and possibly slightly smaller than the last one).
On the upside, it's now within the bounds of the property instead of en block, and has a side door leading to the garden which is a vast improvement, and makes it easier to sneak in there.

Hopefully get back on the build in a week or two once we've finished unpacking and whatnot.

I wonder what you were up to. Nice to see your car out in the daylight hey!:)

Yeah, it was great to see it blinking in the sunshine for the first time :)

Back in a dingy garage again now though!





I'm still very excited about the side door to the garden:

What's with all the new relays? If that's what they are?

I felt the MX5 wiring was a bit over complicated for my needs, and didn't like the two separate fuse boxes (particularly as I wouldn't be using most of the fuses!).
So I junked all the original fuses and relays, replaced them with some generic ones, and hopefully simplified the wiring in the process :)

I've mounted them on the scuttle bulk head behind the dash here:



Going to be a pain if I ever need to change a fuse, but they'll be tucked nicely out of the way there.

Ahh I see.:)

Here's a close up:



You can probably see why I want them hidden now :D
