Noob with a new mx5 Saturn build.

Chassis painted (badly) floor on and many parts cleaned via electrolysis and wire wheel.







Boxes of goodies!



I'm aiming to get the arms, uprights, calipers, discs and wheels on then finish the pedal box. I can then route the brake and fuel lines. Then it's engine and exhaust time. At least that's the order I'm aiming for.

Does anyone have a link to some 3 way brake/fuel pipe clips?

Thank you for the link.

I managed to get some 13" Team Dynamics the same as CTW's for a bargain price too. Mine are in Anthracite, I'm rather chuffed with those!

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Toyo R888's that isn't a track tyre and will come in 185/60/13 and 205/60/13?

By this I mean is cheaper but not junk.

I went with Yoko A021-R from Polley motorsports. 185/70/13. The 185/60/13s were £75+vat and the /70/ were £50+vat so worth the compromise for me.

They dont have them on their website any more but the page is still there so the may still do them.

Cheers

Thanks for the heads up stot, I'll drop them a line and see what they can do.

Does anyone know if the mx5 can be removed with the engine in situ? In the Haynes chassis not the original.

Not sure on the question, If you mean can the engine be removed with the gearbox in situ, yes with a bit of wiggling.
