So what have you treated your MX5/Eunos to recently?
Discussion
Mrs Chimp has just sent me some pics as the postie has been.
The windblocker I won on ebay has arrived along with my new head unit I bought with vouchers from my birthday last week.
Can't wait to get into the garage and get them fitted ASAP.
So what have you been treating your wee car to recently?
The more pics the better!

Will be going to my brother's tomorrow to pick up a second set of blingy 10AE wheels and a set of new tyres (he's storing them for me). I'll be giving them a clean and taking them to be fitted with the new tyres. The 17"s will be removed (tread getting borderline) to make way for them, ready for the MOT next Saturday.
May will see the rectification of some minor damage caused by an altercation with a pheasant at a decent clip and the June should be a front to back suspension refurb with all bushes, shocks and springs changed - all Mazda OEM as I fancied getting a feel of what one on factory-fresh suspension would be like
Well after selling, then cancelling the sale of my Mk2 Turbo Ive been hitting the internet to buy the bits needed to get it on the road!
So in the last week I have ordered;
4 spark plugs
a set of plug leads
4 tyres
a dipstick
a replacement aeriel
a set of wiper blades
and a personalised MX5 mug!

Been doing a bit of work on a gauge panel and custom audio install. Offered up the panel today, looking at ways of making it fit nicely in the hole left by the 2 DIN stereo, and it's starting to come together.
By cutting out the bottom frame where the stereo fits, and cutting a couple of notches in the top part of the frame, it sits in rather nicely. I need to make a surround (or perhaps modify the one that came with the old stereo) to finish off where there's a couple of gaps, but other than that I'm happy how it's turning out.
I've got some decals to print up too, which will label the switches. The two on the right I think are obvious. On the far left is bluetooth or USB audio select, and second to the left is audio power on/off. The middle knob is volume control.
Tomorrow, I'll finish soldering up the circuits for the start button lighting and then it just needs a good clean and wired in.
Hopefully get it finished this weekend if it all goes according to plan.

That looks awesome. Nice work.
ThanksI got it all installed and working today. The circuit to pulse the start engine light seems to be faulty, so I'll get in and take a look at a later date, but it's a minor thing.
Still need to sort out a fascia surround to hide the gaps at the sides where it's mounted.
However, I'm particularly pleased with how the back-lighting works on the volume knob. (simple things and all that)
