Thanks Dave. I havn't done the starter yet, but you know since seafoaming the journey home she ran as sweet as a nut and I haven't had any problems with starting either hot or cold so I'm not in any rush I think i'll just see how it goes for a month or two.
Hope to see you & the others again at another meet sometime soon. Great photos & vid BTW

I know the springs are eibachs, but don't know about the rest Phil.
The set up is as when I bought the car last year.
And yes, it does sit really low.

Cheers Ian
I'll get those rear plastics sorted & attempt to polish up the Toyosport tips when I get chance
Personally I'd love an R3 - Superb looking machines
I reckon White R3 wheels would really suit my car

Re: COME ON THE STRATOS & STORMYS!
Top work Mark, Strato Blue is a stunning colour, and in your car you've enhanced it most tastefully (just as Ian said, in fact!).
I was waxing my patrner's MX5 today and just seeing that sparkle in the paintwork on a sunny day made me wish, not for the first time, mine was in one of the dark blues too.
(Sorry, I always get confused between Stormy and Strato ... Both stunning colours)

Looks great. I always find Blues are the best colours on cars. Its the depths, the way the flake can shimmer, the various tones it can give off under different light intensities,
