MY MK1 Supercharged MX5 (Eunos Roadster)
Discussion
Bought this last year on a whim. 1991 car imported in 2003. It's done intergalactic mileage but is very straight and importantly already came fitted with some nice bits like the vented light lid, Larini cat back stainless exhaust and some Koni sport adjustable dampers.
Here it is shortly after I picked it up:

Since then I have lowered it 40mm on some Mazdaspeed springs, added a Garage Vary front lip and a KG works rear duck tail spoiler, had it machine polished and thrown some stickers on it.
As it currently stands:

Just need to adjust the belts today as I think I over tensioned them and they whine a bit and going to bleed the brakes to firm up the peddle.
Discovered both my rear tyres are mullered (Video might show why) so going to have to swap a pair off the golf before the trackday on friday.

I'd say it's kinda like a rwd convertable MKII Golf. Handles better out of the box than a mkII gti but my golf is far from standard so it would have the mx5 licked. Get one while they're cheap and enjoy it, I can't recommend MX5's enough. They truly live up to the hype. Huge fun at road legal speeds.
