My Mazda MX5 S-Special Type II

[Neil G60]

What an cracking example, love the OE wheels too.

You'll notice an improvement when you come to replace those Pirelli P6000s too...(when they wear out in about 50,000 miles)

Cracking example. Exhaust is perhaps a little too loud for my taste but we are all different. Are your BBS wheels 14"? They are the best wheels for an MX-5 there is in my opinion.

Thanks for the comments

BBS's are 15's and agree they really suit the car, still need to get them refurbed at some point.

Exhaust is probably too loud but i'll live with it for a while, might get a silencer welded in if it gets on my nerves, do love the popping it makes on decelaration tho

I get plenty of popping with this:

Not too bad for 'drone' either.

Have heard good things about that exhaust, was tempted to get one last week as had them on offer at £150 but thought I'll stick with the one I've got for a while

Just ordered myself a TR Lane GPV Rol bar,

booked in next month to get it fitted and have front bumper smoothed and resprayed, should be looking good after that

[tim0854]

Gave my wheels a clean today

Quiet a bit of brake dust on them lol



after a clean








Still need to get them refurbed at some point, hopefully later in the year.

Just gotta decide what colour to do the centres?

Looks great matey. I'd be a bit worried about not running a front grille though!?

I've been thinking about de-badging mine this week, this thread has confirmed it should look good.

[tim0854]

Cheers mate

hadn't really thought about the grill, has been like it since I brought it, havnt had any trouble without it.

Do prefer it de-badged now, will look out for how yours turns out

[tim0854]

Roll Bar arrived today

[tim0854]

Had a great day yesterday at Mercedes Benz World yesterday for the Pistonheads Sunday Service, followed by some B road blasting

Fitted some clear reflectors for the front bumper




Also brought a Baffle for the exhaust as was a bit loud, really suprised how much quiter it is now with it fitted, wont have to buy a different exhaust now

[tim0854]

Sun was out today so decided to go for a blast round the Pulborough area, some great roads round there






Not the best Photos but was enjoying driving it too much to take any others

[tim0854]

Done a few small jobs today, started with fitting a grille as car hasnt had one since I brought it, sprayed the tow hooks black while I was at it to match the grille



Applied my Pistonheads Smiley



Also took out my Cabin brace and windblocker ready for my rollbar to be fitted next week, thought it would be rude not to see what it'll look like fitted




Cant wait to see it fitted properly next week

[St. Anger]

Looking great matey, nice work!

I've seen loads without the grille on the front and to be honest, I think I'd be too scared to run mines properly without one. Aside from all the stone chips my grille has accumulated, I've picked a good few plastic bags from it which would've otherwise made their way inwards.

[tim0854]

Cheers mate

Think the grille stops crap getting into the front and looks good too

[Tyrewrecker]

Looking great - where is rollbar from?
