thanx man, its a crazy clean car for its age. the arc chamber could be for sale in a couple months so ill keep you in mind.

been having a good look around it over the weekend and have found a few nice extras on it, so far what ive found is:

arc intake chamber
apexi intake filter
nb afm/maf
field fuel controller
jasma stamped manifold
uprated plug leads
lowering springs
lots of braces
oil cool and filter relocate
hi lift cams

i also think the diff in it is far from standard, it seems alot like the cusco 2 way in my 180 so gonna open that up and investigate more.

also if any of the other mx5 heads on here can help me out, the zip out rear section of my soft top cracked on me yesterday, so if anyone has maybe a ripped or damaged soft top with a good rear window give me a shout thanx.

The standard Torsen lsd is pretty aggressive for a standard diff. But it will open up on full lock in 3rd
