Hello all.

To cut a long story short myself and another PHer are the new owners of Paddy the 1.6 eunos. Before you ask, Paddy is because the last three letters on the reg are PDY.

He's a complete track car although still road registered, taxed and insured and only will be driven to and from the track, although may venture out to a few meets.


Modifications so far are:

Full roll cage including door bars.

Single skin fibreglass seats which are an inch from the floor, so we sit incredibly low.

Four point Luke Harnesses

All sound-proofing removed

Pagid discs & pads all around

Rota wheels with Federal 595 RSR tyres.

Front splitter

Rear boot spoiler

Mazdaspeed flat bottom steering wheel.

And that's it from what I remember.


On our to do list is to:

Sell original BBS wheels

Sell original soft top

Machine polish bodywork

Buy either coilovers or maybe lower & stiffer spring to match up with the bilsteins already fitted.

Decat exhaust and fit a different cat-back system or maybe just rear box (far too quiet).

Good to see a thread on this thumbup

I'd say get a good set of coilovers and alignment on it first - there was a lot of body roll when I saw it at Snet!

Wheels in Motion did a great job of setting the geometry of my old MX-5.

Was like a different car afterwards.
