Yet another thread about.........

An MX5 
This isn't actually my car, its owned by my parents, but i'm a cheeky son of a gun and I'm always grabbing the keys before anyone else
I've already posted my car on here, a post box red Suzuki Ignis Sport, which certainly dosen't set the world on fire, but its been faultless in the two n half years i've owned it and has recently taken me through europe and to the Nurburgring.
Completely standard apart from painting the wheels, cheap fun.
Anyway, onto the Eunos.
We actually had a green Eunos before this one, which we got spring 2010.
It was a fantastic car tbh, which we'd still have now, but it was unfortunately written off about 6 months after buying it. Mum was driving to get my brother from work and someone didn't stop at a junction, i think the picture speaks for itself...
Fortunatly mum was ok and the guy admitted fault, so we waited to get past christmas and started looking in the new year for a suitable replacement.
We looked at plenty of dogs until we settled on the current Eunos, which we've had since February 2011 and is a VR limited combination A, of which only 700 were made (another 800 were made as combination b in a dark green) and came with standard Bilsteins along with cream leather and air con.
a pic not long after we'd bought the car
Not much has changed since tbh, we've just been driving it and enjoying it, we did get rid of the 17" Team Dynamics pretty early on as the ride was horrendous, the replacements being Team Dynamics also, this time 15" Pro Race 1.2's in gold, goes well with the roof and look fantastic i think.
Car was also waxoyled a couple of years ago, we added some more auxiliary gauges to keep an eye on things and we've put some Spax shocks on too replace the Bilsteins as they were past their best (planning to get some more Bilsteins eventually mind) and hasen't needed much since tbh.
Shes still scrubs up well but showing her age, plus the sills could do with doing so we're planning on fully stripping the car in the winter and essentially going OEM+ on the car.
Last couple of days we've had a bit of a play around with her, sorted a couple of things out ready for the MOT on monday, got rid of an awful squeak, which turned out to be a loose camber bolt.
We actually had an alignment done on the car a couple of days ago as we had a knock coming from the front, turned out the front camber bolt was way out. Big shout out to Aline in Dudley for the alignment, really know their stuff, they use a Hunter system, cracking bit of kit and its transformed the car tbh, feels like it should again now, think i'll take the Ignis in a couple of weeks too, as it feels a bit off itself.
print out too show you before and after, as you can see, it really needed doing.
Thats pretty much that, some of you may recognise it as my mate has recently got one at an absolute steal and done his own post, its a bit different from his Golf R32 lol.
I hope I haven't bored anyone too much with yet another MX5 thread, but there certainly is a reason why so many PHers rate the bloody things
Annnnnnnnnd if anyone was wondering what an Eunos looked like
Cheers guys n gals.
