Second car, another mx5!

[jenmx5]

My first car, the red mx5 (http://tinyurl.com/od8fv9q) met it's end after many years of botched jobs so it just wasn't feasible to fix it and was cheaper to buy a another one.

After a few weeks of being car-less, I picked up a nice 1992 1.6 V-Spec Eunos (imported here in 2004). Rust free, low mileage and sits low, can't really ask for much more! Originally planned on ripping out all the tan & walnut interior and replacing it with the black interior but it's really grown on me now. Only thing missing is the Nardi wheel



^ The day I got it. The black stuff all over the roof makes it look pretty awful - new roof has an ETA of today if UPS hurry up!



Height difference!

















Definitely planning on keeping this one and I've got a few ideas for it too. First will be a custom exhaust after we get back from our Greek adventure.

Will try to keep this updated too!

Pretty sure I've got a Nardi tucked away somewhere if you are after one.

It looks so dinky between that Mazda 6 and BINI.

Nice car,best colour too. Similar to my v spec

Love the colour combo and the best shape MX5 IMO.

Keep us udpated

Ooh, clean. Decent.

Is it on lowered suspension, coilovers? Or is the red predecessor just really jacked up?

[decadent]

nice, like the wheels on your new one.

I need to scratch the mx5 itch.

Congrats - better colour than the red one, and being an import better looking rear and less rust! Win win. I miss my Eunos a lot.

Roof coming in the post? You do know about Jack Smith's, right? If not - return it and make a trip to him...

Me and my dad did the roof on mine, it looks great+fits well and its watertight but it was the most frustrating thing I have ever done, it took ages and was incredibly fiddly . Have promised to never do one again

It's been a while since I logged on!
Don't think too much has changed since I last posted apart from a custom backbox, front splitter, and new alloys, loved the Lorbers but they had been f*cked since I got them

A respray is on the cards next I think!
