I was going to post a photo of mine, but how do I follow that, like going on stage after Elvis!

Here we go, 2003 Nevada, photo taken last weekend as I'd just made an 80 mile trip to collect the boot rack. I'm the second owner of the car with it having belonged to my mum from new.

I've found it okay on the road so far, it's obviously very front biased so it could be worth looking into some sort of proportioning valve if you're often on track etc. I'll be taking it out on track for the first time with the Wilwoods fitted (previously used stock callipers with axis pads) in November so can't really comment how they are under extreme punishment yet - but on the road they seem fine to me. The fronts will lock up long before the rears in the wet though obviously!

Thank you for the kind words, I've had the car for 6yrs and its still a work in progress, but aren't they always?

Snotrag is on the money, they are indeed 949 racings, gen II, 6UL's in 15" x 8" Et36.

In my opinion the nicest wheel for a na/nb, well maybe the Enkei RPF01 in a 8", et20 could give them a run for their money.

no photos, but I'll be at the Little Gransden Airshow on Sunday with my MX5, on the MX5OC stand if anyone's around and wants to say 'hi'

Yes and yes!
They're 15x7, fairly sure they're ET23, but I've got 13mm spacers on the front to clear the Wilwoods. Tyres are 195/50/15 Nangkang (i know) NS2-R's - actually a very good alternative to Federal 595 RS-R's etc. Arches will need rolling for sure, having spacers mean the fronts do still catch every now and then on full lock and uneven surfaces, rears are fine but they do need rolling for clearance

My new old mk1. Ive had a mk2 and mk3 so thought id give the mk1 a go! Love it! Could do with some decent tyres and alignment i think as its a little hairy but that can wait as its not going to be used that much...

Best check em for cracks, this picture turned up on the Nutz page on Facebook. Apparently there's been reports of cracking over in 'Murica.
