It certainly looks tougher without it, Kim said as much when she had a look this afternoon. The crash pad is growing on me though as I think it neatens it up a little. The other thing is because it is a factory MX5 wheel it is a little larger than the standard after market 370mm instead of 350mm so without the crash pad it looks a little out of proportion in the car. will leave it on for a little while and see what I think. It only takes around 30 seconds to swap it out.

Crash pad on. Looks neater....

Righto has been a while since I have done an update. I dropped the 4K engine and box just before Christmas so that Bob could add it to his growing collection of bits for his KE project. The thing sat in the shed till last week when I got back into it. Ended up pulling the whole dash and vent system out so that I could run the wiring loom through the back of the fire wall. When I did the pedal box swap I also enlarged the hole from the old clutch cable to run the wiring for the injectors, TPS, MAP and thermo fans.
I put the T28 on while I had the engine out as well at a turbo blanket and some new fitting for the inlet and outlet on the compressor. I still have a little more to do to tidy up the wiring loom before it is all mounts then I will just start working my way backwards through the car. I am going to leave the dash out until I know that all is running well.
I have a set of Shockworks stuff coming soon I hope which should pretty much see it all sorted. Being slack that I am the next update will probably be when it is finished.
Cheers

Looking great Paul, that turbo blanket somehow makes the turbo look a lot bigger

Thanks lads just trying to find the time is the hardest part. Between slight differneces between the 86 and the 70 as well as my need to try and make things as neat as possible I have really ended up doing most of it from scratch really. Will be interesting to see how I go setting g up the launch and traction control as well.
Adaptronic do youtube videos on how to setup their features. Have a look at their channel.

Matt, thanks for the heads up. I am sure if have any dramas Andy will be able to help out. I have been using Adaptronic for a while and they are pretty intuitive to use.
Cheers
