I wonder if I can ask you if Peter supplied the rear muffler and cut the rear bumper as well. Looks great!!!

Was it a 2.5" system?

Should be 2.25, factory size is the best for N/A. 2.5 is too big already, you will lose back pressure, which mean lose power. Go and see him and he will explain to you. But of cause you can always do 2.5 on your car. Is a personalise thing.

Good point. With the dual muffler or dual outlet anyway you should be able to do without the central resonator too.

Has to have resonator, I think thats because of the law. Anyway, ask Peter is the best. He is an expert. :D

Hey Tesco, I remembered that you have had great success on your interior. I have changed dash light colour before on mu previous cars, but how did you do yours blue? I really like how it came out. I also want to do the other lights in the centre console blue aswell, they came from I.L motorsport yeah?
Thanks

yup, you need to get those panel from I.L motorsport. With the blue lighting in dash you just go on ebay and search MX5 blue dash LED, but you can also buy 4 T10 LED and 1 T5 LED for your dash.

Finally had a chance yesterday to really have a detailed look and even a drive of Tesco's car yesterday.
At the events I've seen him at I'm usually looking at the map trying to remember the skid-pan layouts :(

Pete did a good job with his exhaust - no drone and it sounds good. I haven't dríven a lot of MX5's with a decent suspension setup and his felt really good.
Not sure if I'm a big fan of the power steering delete but I like the feedback.

In summary, just wanted to say nice car and thanks for the drive!

Bought a oil catch can from ebay name D1, looks very nice and installed today. Very lucky that I had some left over parts from my grounding kit. No modification need and just simply bolt on. Now I just need to wait for the hoses to arrive.
