Here is a few pics from recently.

So mid winter clean up..


Won some centrecaps from BBS LM's on ebay and that finished the wheels off.

Anyway, that's me out of pics for now. Hope you think I've improved it and look forward to any comments good or bad.

Future plans. Either keep it and TR Lane supercharge it seeing as they are only round the corner or sell up at some point and itch the VX220 scratch I have.

What I'll probably do in the next month or two: TR Lane roll bar, new lower ball joints and WIM geometry set up.

Not really a fan of mx-5's and from the early pictures of yours my opinion wasn't about to change, however as i scrolled down through my thoughts were, that really does look quite nice. BBS wheels have made a dramatic improvement, also the red seats really suit the colour of the car. Congratulations on turning a fairly boring and very common car into a real head turner.

Those BBS wheels make such a difference, love them. Perfect colour aswell.

[Tiger Tim]

Cheers guys for the comments, appreciated.

I saw this one in Bristol a couple of weeks ago didn't I?

Mine was the Mk 1 RS parked next to you!

[Tiger Tim]

Certainly was me! Apologies for not being able to stop and chat more, I hadn't seen the friends I was with for a while and didn't want to appear rude.
Catch you at the next one!

Lovely mk1 RS by the way!

[crocodile tears]

looks spot on, the wheels and seats really suit it

[paulm3]

Nice wheels, like the colour combo.
can I get a quick cut and style next time I see you?

Now for sale as I'm going back to the RAF and need a bigger car

Gutted, I've loved owning the car as well. Someone will get a fantastic car.
