Pistonheads faithful, my new MX-5

[j44esd]

Well, although it's almost a cliche round here, I have always fancied one of these and now have scratched the itch!







1995 Eunos Roadster, I believe an S-Special with the following:

Roll Cage
Coilovers
Modified Manifold (Don't know what kind)
Induction Kit
Various Heat Shielding
More strut braces than you can shake a stick at...

Plans are to sort one or two little jobs out for early next year and do some trackdays (So any help/advice appreciated!). Also the obligatory trip to the 'Ring!

Hope you all like!

Thankyou very much! To be honest it's a bit of a '10 yard car' (Phrase courtesy of a poster in the MX5 section :-) ) It looks much better in the photo than it does in real life! However it was the right price and mechanically it's good, plus the first gravel trap would soon put paid to a mint example!

Also it had BBS wheels, what more is required! :-)

To be honest the wheels look fantastic on it and it looks really clean, good example.

I've been thinking about something like this for a while, get rid of the Z4 and have a supercharged MX5 and a diesel hack - never got round to doing anything about it.

Enjoy mate!

No, no labeling at all! It does look like yours in your profile pic though - do you know what make it is?

[GravelBen]

No labels on mine either but from a bit of interweb research when I got it the only ones I could find which looked the same were made by Cusco (good stuff!) and an outfit called Safety 21 (iirc) which I'd never heard of.

Yeah, see what you mean it certainly does look like the Cusco one!

Simply lovely! Always had a soft spot for 1st generation MX-5!
