Don't put wide arches on in black, it'll look awful. Plus I have an MX5 in red, with gold Minilites, with a black hardtop and getting my wide arches done in black.

Lol so it looks almost the same hmmm! I will only arch it if it needs it once dropped and spacers added (Will try and roll the arches first though) But if I do arch it it will be black arches LOL. I need to sort other things first though like the fact the idle when I have the lights on is extremely gash! and I think I may be losing oil :(
How is your 5 going anyways? turbo etc all sorted?

Do it mate, i think he said he offered £170 or something, so worth making an offer i reckon!
Apparently they have good reveiws on the mx5 forums, may be worth checking them out :D

It's going well thanks, I'm mapping it myself after I got a shit one done. Megasquirt is awesome mate. I just need to keep improving it, and get the bodywork done.

Awesome, Megasquirt looks confusing did you have to make the board your self? or you buy it complete and mapping it? still hard either way I guess! I think mines starting to burn oil.... :(

I bought the unit, modified it very very slightly to take a TPS signal, it usually ignores the standard TPS as it's an on/off switch and mine is a variable one now. That's quite easy to do though.

The mapping is really easy mate. Really worth the effort to learn as you'll save so much money.

When I've got the time and money will be hassling you for advice on how to do it so I don't blow anything up :)

Lowered it today, may raise it a little as something is hitting bumps even at 0mph.

Any advice you need just ask mate, I must have changed the majority of things most people do.

Thanks Sam! A random Q. How likely is it that the sump will hit speed bumps at the hight I have it at? Should I raise it? :)
