Here is my mx-5, which has been "lightly" modified

Very nice, love the subtle mods and colour, good combo!

[SD1992]

Never thought I would ever say this... But the red leather looks really nice!

Great choice of mods you have made there! I will get myself one of these one day as a second car, when I can afford it :P

[pops and bangs]

Cheers guys, I like subtle mods, over in your face mods.

Although the girlfriend says I'm a boy racer

I've told myself that the next car I get I will not modifiy at all though.

Would have loved a Honda S2000 but the insurance would have been ridiculous for me.

[SD1992]

My girlfriend hasn't seen my new motor yet... But she did say that spoilers and loud exhausts were for boy racers

I am amazed at how cheap insurance is on MX5's, but I would imagine an S2000 would be killer.

Enjoy that car, looks really nice

i found insurance on my euphonic wasnt brill really my vx220 was less and fuel economy on my euphonic was terrible for what it gave back

[pops and bangs]

Yeah my insurance isn't cheap, and the petrol consumption is absolutely shocking for the power it has or rather doesn't have

I wouldn't mind getting 20ish mpg if the car actually went somewhere, I'm always shocked when I hear people getting 40mpg they must drive ridiculously slow and change gears at 2000rpm.

[SD1992]

Really? What sort of prices are you guys getting?

Admiral quoted me £700 a year - 19 year old male, licence for 2 years, 1 year NCD.

[pops and bangs]

With modifications I'm paying near 1200.

And I crashed the car a few months ago, so not looking forward to renewal next year

[Trustmeimadoctor]

i would average about 28 just going back and forward to work then swapped it for a 328 sport and got the same mpg lol

did like it though

[Trustmeimadoctor]

i was paying about 500 iirc at 30

That's a nice car, love those wheels!

[seany87]

Yours is the same colour as mine, Titanium Grey. Yours also looks far cleaner than mine. I need to get mine detailed.

Im not a fan of the wheels tbh, but its your car not mine!

Any mods under the bonnet??

[Disco You]

You should be banged up for taking off the gorgeous original Euphonic wheels

The pictures were taken once I collected it from the bodyshop, and they had cleaned it so it was a rare occasion when my car was washed lol

No mods under the bonnet yet, my insurance company said I needed to own the car for at least one year.

I can do things like an induction kit, but it would likely make no difference apart from noise, which I'm not overly bothered about.

I do regret it, what's worse is I sold the set of wheels and tyres for just over £100

It was purely to cut costs with regards to tyres.

I do find the car is a better drive on 15s though if I'm honest.

The seats will be going aswell to make way for lotus elise seats...

£100? You're mad. Let me know when you're selling the seats, they'll be a tenner right?

I just wanted rid of them, as my girlfriend was moaning about the space they were taking.

Apparently it doesn't look good having a set of wheels in the spare room of the flat lol

"The seats will be going aswell to make way for lotus elise seats..."

Nice car. Can I join the queue for the seats too.

[pops and bangs]

Well the seats are now ready to go, but am after swapping them.
