A real nice addition has been a set of Sparco Torino seats (see page 2). Minor modifications to the stock seat rails were necessary to ensure a proper fit. They are big seats and they are comfortable.
I have also mounted a MOMO Commando steering wheel, 350mm, silver/black/carbon fibre.
Overall it makes for a cool package, with the AWD Power Band gauge faces in silver/red/white along with my Sparco seats in silver/black. You may also notice the JR billet brake handle and Knobmeister "MX5 SC" gearshift knob in pearl gray.
I was asked to enter a Classic Car Show that was adding a Sport Import category for the first time. Some of the muscle car crowd weren't too happy to see these foreign machines at their event but overall we were treated well by the organisers and the crowd seemed to like our cars. I beat out a brace of Hondas/Integras/Toyotas for First Place. An Acura NSX placed second. This is a photo of the winning cars from all categories.
This is a fibreglass headlight cover air intake made by R.S.Aizawa of Japan.
Once painted it is an easy install. You have the option of either removing the black plastic wrap around piece attached to the underside of the hood or cutting a matched size hole to allow the air to flow through your new intake into the engine compartment. I used a Dremel Tool to create this opening.
Inside the engine bay I used some ABS 2" pipe and elbows to manufacture an intake which channels this new air flow directly onto my JRSC air filter.
Here is the finished product...
I've now had a chance to drive my car with this mod. The butt dyno registers thumbs up and as eye candy it gets plenty of attention.
