My Eunos Roadster Turbo

[JasonNA]

A few bits arrived during the week. Got small bits and pieces off an MX5 breaker in Swords

Nothing major, just a pair of mirrors to get rid of the tiny F1 style ones, a seat belt clip because the one on it didn't hold properly, windscreen washer jets and a throttle position sensor from an auto MX5.

Arrived home from work to find this lot in the front hall

6 point roll cage, Cobra bucket seat, Sparco harness, two spare tyres and a touch screen laptop for the Megaquirt (I'm using it to write this too )

Cage, seat and harness


Got this on eBay

There where 2 holes on the nose where it should be.
On car


Fitted the seat today as it was a handy job seeing as the adapters where already fitted to the seats.
Old

New (needs a clean)

Also removed the stickers from the back bumper and the inside.

More to follow...

Nice work, if you ever want to change the tan interior let me know, I'm looking for a tan interior, that's my old bucket seat by the way

Have you got a black interior to exchange?

I had to take the seat out again because the steering wheel was at my chin while the pedals were miles away I just need to mod the bracket so the rear of the seat sits lower and I'm going to give it a good clean and spray up the brackets before I put it back in.

Nah the bits were part of the deal but I swapped my teg Type R for it so I couldn't fit the extras in the Mazda coming up the road Got them couriered up.

I'll see what happens, shouldn't be too difficult putting the cage in so I might as well since its there. The welded diff makes it a hard car to learn to tail out though, wouldn't mind giving someone who knows what to do with it a go to see what it should be capable of.

ah yes makes sense now!

with regards learning to drift it, a welder will be the easiest diff to learn on so to speak.once the back is out they tend to stay out when ya lift off, where as on a lsd some cars will tend to straighten easier when off the power.

this car is capable though. here it is when it was non turbo

i took mine out for my first drift day about 3 weeks ago despite blowing the turboon the 3rd lap it was a great laugh. i was shocking id say get some good steering tires before u even bother heading out, but after a while i was getting it sorta sideways haha.alot of the pro drivers were telling learning in a car like mx5 will stand to you in future.
