Finally hit a major milestone in the Roadster today. 200,000km.
Still running fantastic, no signs of any issues and has aged really well. Goes to show how little mileage actually matters.
On another note, the cleaned leather looks and feels great now too. The steering wheel is really nice to hold, and doesn’t leave my hands feeling gross after use.
So, today was both gross and great. I decided it was HUMAN FILTH removal day.
Went back into the garage this morning, and finished what I started yesterday.
I felt inspired to give the Roadster a little love today.
The MX5 came with two options of shock absorbers. The Sport model (RS) got flashy Bilsteins and all the other models got boring Mazda made shocks (US models low-end shocks were Tokico, but I can’t see anything on my JDM shocks to indicate the same). I wasn’t lucky, my car isn’t technically Sport spec, so no Bilsteins from factory. Can’t have everything eh?
I purchased some wheels the other day for the Roadster, which unfortunately turned out to have an offset that was different to what was advertised. In order to confirm this I needed to work out how to measure offset, and thought I would share.
Whilst the car was in the garage getting its stereo changed I also took the time to replace the interior bulb with an LED.
So yesterday was obviously the day of the MX5.
Getting a new car is always fun. Finding new things to do, things that need fixing and maintenance that needs… maintaining.
I hate standard amber incandescent bulbs. The look dated, and the light output for the most part is rubbish.
