That's right, the fascia is an Aerpro part, but it's actually an imported product from a brand called Metra and packaged in an Aerpro box. :dunno: CDs are the worst. Back when I drove my Corolla, instead of CDs, I used one of those MP3 players that takes a USB, plugs into the cigiarette lighter...

I completed the installation of the MX-5's new stereo head unit. It's a big upgrade over the stone age one it had to begin with. The hardest part, of course, was running all the wires for the peripherals, namely the reverse camera, microphone, digital radio antenna and GPS antenna. I also ran...

Good to see the plane in action. :thumbup:

On Saturday, Ashleigh and I went on a drive with the MX-5 Club of NSW. We both quite enjoyed ourselves. The route was well chosen and the drive was lively. I only took one photo. For some distance, coincidentally, the five cars were were travelling in order of build date, which is how they...

The Bungarby trip began in an interesting manner. I had replaced the clutch master cylinder in the SSV myself in the hope that doing so would fix my problems. We rendezvoused at Bargo before beginning the trip to Bungarby. Ashleigh was coming on her own after finishing work. On the way out of...

Looks good mate. It looks as though you didn't have many tricky bits, from the photos, so hopefully a pretty cruisy task.

In the first week of ownership, I put 2000km on the MX-5. :lol_hitti That included a trip to Canberra and back, but still! :3gears: The same friend who gave me the pallet rack shelves and the workbench with the cupboard underneath it has been helping his Mum clean out his Dad's stuff from their...

On Saturday, I picked up an MX-5. :bounce: It is one of the limited edition launch models for the NC. This means that it is a 2006 model but was built in 2005. The launch edition got some worthwhile factory options. This one has a limited slip diff, upgraded springs and shock absorbers, a...

They're going to have to update their conditions of entry: "Customers must provide own scuba equipment." That is indeed a shame, though. Hopefully it doesn't mean the business has to close down.

Ashleigh took me out on a Saturday morning without telling me where we were going. I was ready for anything, I'd packed my swimmers and just about everything else too. She took me to the Londonderry Junkyard, which was a radical outing. I only bought one thing though, which was a well made...

I went to my mate's house with the CNC router again and made more stuff. Some coasters with Viking "Gripping Beasts" on them, one with an inbuilt bottle opener, and another "He Who Dies With the Most Tools Wins" sign. Because they have rearranged their house a bit, I couldn's sleep in the...

Lately, vehicle news is as follows: I'm still on the hunt for another car. I was about to buy an MX-5 but the guy sold it to someone else while waiting for the professional inspection I'd booked for it. :( I used my ladder racks on the SSV for the first time, bringing home mismatched timber...

I'd recommend looking here too: https://dashcamtalk.com/best-dash-cams-of-2021/

I have had a Viofo A119 and now have a Viofo A129 dual camera and I found both to be feature-rich and perform well. They review online better than more expensive dashcams. Whichever camera you choose, I would say it's best to get one from an Australian seller because it makes it easier to claim...

By far the most important development in my life lately has been that there is a young lady in it, which has not been the case since before I started this thread. :D Her name is Ashleigh and she's on her way to becoming a horticulturalist. She's pretty rad. :bounce: We went on a three day...

Recently, I've been doing some little projects on the Commodore. Owners widely agree the sound system in this generation is better off without the speaker in the centre of the dashboard, so I finally got around to removing mine. It took about ten minutes. I picked up a pair of covers that go...

Looking good mate. The only thing I have to add, is that I understand it's the done thing to round the corners of the blade a tiny bit.

Hey mate. This is a thread that I really quite enjoy following. Good work on the latest updates. "Excuse the third leg." Do you say that often? :lol_hitti I'm particularly a fan of the mods to the tray of the Amarok. Well done. :thumbup:

Looks good, man. The majority of the lever caps I've seen here in Australia are chrome plated and I notice the lever caps on both planes you have pictured are not. Is that the norm, or an exception in your area?

Hey mate. My understanding is that your choice of whether to use a lubricant mainly depends on the paper choice. The blue paper that I was told is best is used without lubricant, but using a stiff bristled brush to brush the swarf off frequently. The job of the lubricant, when used, is to carry...
