Chris's new build of an MX5 based car

[norton]

Ah fantastic, thank you!

Not done much of late, had the car out a few times but have been distracted by the purchase of my holiday hire bike (cheap, comfy and fast) and the weather. Doing more miles on that than in the car, training for my first Audax event (long distance cycling).

I have been collecting parts for the 1.8 engine fitment. I currently have the new alloy 3 core rad and alloy header tank, need some waterless coolant, some plumbing bits, and a few other bits n bobs but probably going to be a winter project.

I think pictures of engine and radiator porn are required...

LOL, Voyeur like tendencies will be satisfied in due course.

Hi Chris, did you have any issues with your back wheels touching the upper arm at all?

Mmm no, unless I just didn't notice have you any pictures? My wheels are 13" but ET38 iirc. edit: make that ET15 doh! They are 20mm further out than stock mx5 wheels offset.

Ah et15! That explains it, I need some spacers as mine are et30something.
