cheers bud

Is that some fiberglass cloth on your header? Is it possible to use any kind of fiberglass cloth or is there one that resist to heat better? Nice car btw I always loved Miatas!

[ziptie]

its stuff called heat wrap its hi temp fibreglass material and has some coating on it
you can usually buy it in rolls of a couple meters

[EtotheT]

Allright thks!

[davemx-5]

Yeah thats heat wrap, usually comes in 10m roles. I put it on as a mad effort to silence the exhaust as it was crazy loud and it has worked and silenced it more so than a back box would. But it is wrapped the whole way back to just behind the back bumper

Small update, brought a hardtop in from England and well the courier messed it up big time!

I done the repair myself with rattle cans and a spray can of Halfords Lacquer. Extremely happy with it as its my first time doing anything like it!
I still need to put on another coat of lacquer (waiting on the postman) and flat it and buff it, then I'll stick on my project-g rear wing!

The hardtop completely transforms the car, its much quieter inside and I can hear the stereo over the exaust now!ha But it feels even more of a go-kart now than ever!
Will have another update when I get the rear wing on!

[G535]

I hope you got a few $ at least from that courier service?

Car's looking good. Stance is dialed in nicely, im not a fan of the black wheels though...also why is the trunk flat black?

[Draggin_ma_balls]

Its a twin of mine! I too have an s-limited although it it completely stock... for now. Looking good mate, loving the wheels i think 16's sit perfectly on an MX.

[a3 german]

nice job at that hardtop

aI'm also not big fan of black wheels with polished lip, but in this car they look fine!

[unii]

needs smaller wheels,sucks about the hardtop.
