About time to get the MX5 on here. (Stickers)

[benji44]

Garlick loves stickers, this is a fact so he loves my cars, will be at lots of shows this year and the up coming sunday service. but first the pic history, i bought this last august 2011, loved it and told girlfriend i bought one i liked so i wouldn't need to fiddle like i did to the old mazda 2, but as you will see i played and have just ended up back at the start hahahaha.

first up, the out going 2 just for memories.

( i like horrid contrast)

on to the mx5.
when i got it home.



bought a hard top

quieter exhaust and some bucketness



green wheels back from the dead for winter


winter mode


then fiddling for a bit with wheels etc










and as she stands today although i have bits in the post so little changes will happen soon.

Not sure about the splitter but looks tidy.

Label me a chav but...

fk yes!

[Dave Hedgehog]

the phrase is

fk no

cant understand this fad for ruining a cars handling just so you cant drive over sleeping policeman??

[benji44]

handles like a beast, 8 wide wheels grip for days, springs set nice and hard, its a lover on the roads (however as stated speed bumps are a git, but do what they are meant to for me, slow me down at them)

Life would be boring if everyone had the same interests though.

Because tons of rubber and stiff springs equals good handling. You may be right about how it handles, but I can't imagine you are by looking at it!

[C.A.R.]

Looks ruined, hope you never have to sell it on.

I would wager that the handling is substantially worse than when it left the factory.

i can see your going in the Stretch and poke direction but that tyre has to much profile even for stretch mate.need to come down a peg of two tyre wise.

[Jimmy No Hands]

That's great all it needs now is the engine bay sticker bombing and a cute little Yoda or similar trinket hanging off the rear valance.

What good is having 8 inch wide wheels for grip when you only have at most 6 inches of tyre in contact with the ground?

[GC8]

Yes: Tim Lane bar.

No: fking stupid wheels.

[Stoatman]

Awesome


(Minus the wheels , sorry)

cannot say how much i agree with this point. each to their own. but must say loving the conflicting views. also few packages arrived today which i know will marmite this thread up a bit more.

Can't believe JonnyFive hasn't seen this yet!

we try to be different, but turn out to be sheep at the end of the day.

The way that it's sitting currently looks great. But this one the other hand...!

[juan king]

Mine are only 15" where as his are 16" both are ET0 offset (I think), so I don't understand why his stick out so much further than mine.

Edit: sorry, my mistake. I think that picture is of a banded g60 wheel.

although similar, not the same so nice try, at the end of the day not wandering in a showroom picking anything and thinking im flash, im putting my love into making my car me.

[benji44]

must add that i am against no type of ownership and respect alls choices, just dont get single mindedness of people that cant accept some people like to modify cars.
