Same here...if you told me what it looked like I'd have laughed....but to see it I really like it, looks very purposeful.

[Another Fluffer]

Love that!

Sure I've seen this before, are you on MX5 nutz?

[anonymous-user]

engine bay looks clean.

[lindrup119]

Looks awesome actually! First picture I was a bit worried but is nice and different. Like the splitter especially.

Just one question though, where are all the lights now and doesn't the vent on the pop up compromise the lights?

[edpurnell]

This looks great and sounded great today. Nice....

[rb5er]

That does look like fun. Cool car, love the wheels and headlight vent etc.

[Disco You]

I won't comment on what i think of how it looks, other than to say that your tastes and mine clearly differ!

I bet it is great to drive though with that nice bit of power

[wackojacko]

Nice. Love the graphic.

[5paul5]

Nice. Hate the graphic tho.

[JezF]

Nice car and I loved my Mk1, hate the exterior but it would be a dull world if we all liked the same things!

+1.

[Pierscoe1]

Welded diff!?!? On a road car!?!? That must be.... entertaining!

[hoodedreeper]

Yes i am on MX5Nutz

The headlights still pop up. With the Lo-Pro headlights,they're now rectangle instead of the OEM round



The headlight lid gives better air flow with the lights down,and the vent underneath (Turn Signal Intake or TSI) gives the flow when they're up (no brainer really)

I appreciate the graphics and paint job isnt to everyone's tastes,but she gets abused at Norfolk Arena for drifting. The matte Military paint is just for easy if i scrape/dent a panel. Get the roller out and its repainted.

The welded diff isnt too bad to be fair. I've killed 3x 1.6 welded diffs in the past year,so it was time to upgrade to the 1.8. Roundabouts at any speed higher than 20mph can be sketchy,but thats all part of the fun

[Amirhussain]

Haha nice, very clean engine bay too.

[Chunkychucky]

Looks awesome that OP, really like the paint/graphic and the stance aswell. Any photos of it drifting?

[hoodedreeper]

I've only got a few old photos i'm afraid,also when it had the Digital Camo graphics on

[a1burns]

This certainly caught my eye at Clive Atthowe yesterday!
Not to everyones taste but certainly looks the part in the flesh.
Will keep an eye out for you around Norwich!

[RobCrezz]

Looks like a great fun motor, bet its a blast!

Who mapped that? Got some pretty nasty flat spots in that torque curve, I would say that your ignition timing map could do with some smoothing IMO.
