Hi all, I'm new around here so thought I'd get a build log going before I forget what I've done!
Purchased my 2008 FN2 in late Oct 2015 as a replacement for my MX5 that was written off by someone who would attempted to drive through my car on a mini roundabout. To say I was gutted was an understatement. I've put a lot of time, money, and effort into making it the car I wanted and I wasn't finished with it. Still, it was a second car to my yellow Nissan 350Z GT4 so not the end of the world. Once the insurance part was sorted it was time for me to get something new. And here she is:
So far I'm loving it. I used to drive my 350 to work and back one week and the MX5 the next. Well that's changed (sorry 350) and I'll almost always choose the FN2 over the 350 purely because as a day to day car its easier to live with.
Plans for the car was to modify and do a few track days (as well as a daily) but there doesn't seem like there's an awful lot I would actually change at the moment!
So far:

So far:
- Dec 15 - Nokian WRA3 winter tyres fitted, oil change (Motul 8100X 5w-40), Skunk2 magnetic oil drain plug, HAMP oil filter, Goodridge Phantom braided brake lines, Motul RBF600 brake fluid, EBC Yellow Stuff pads all round and Honda OEM discs all round.
To fit:
- J's Racing tow hooks
- J's Racing sun strip
- Skunk2 magnetic gearbox drain plug
- Drivers side wing mirror indicator
Plans:
- Yokohama AD08R or Michelin Pilot Cup 2's (on stock 18"s).
- May look to change alloys to Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's with fitment as close to stock as possible -1" diameter (17x7.5 ET53) to preserve scrub radius but reduce weight.
