Default Latest Aero mod - Wee1.

After 5+ years of trying, we are finally in the club.

Next on the list is a more suitable, 2d wing.

Thanks.

Not sure yet, we rushed to get it ready for this 30th anniversary MX5 Club show.

Hoping to have it on track in 2-3 weeks.

What's your hinge setup for the trunk/boot? I also have a lightyear fastback that I need to replace the external hinges it came with..

Its 99% a race car so we opted out of hinges. So it slips in against the body and then drops down at the back on to the fasteners.

Aluminium guides against the body and push button releases at the back edge. We tried push buttons at the front edge (the black circles) but angle, length etc. didn't work out.

We modified a variation of one of these.

Printed the brake duct inlets and fibreglassed the rest.




Sorry, this is the only front facing picture I can find for reference.

"Fast back" with removable roof is the only hard top I'd ever consider. A 150zx if you will...
Looks great.

Pos-cat added - Fastback+wing look like factory options.
