I've joined the PH masses and bought myself a MKI MX-5.

Originally it was only meant to be a project car to by and sell on but I've grown to love it!

Picked it up for £1500 with a few niggles


First things first replace the blowing back box with a nice shiny stainless system ( had to cut the old one off so rusty )



The new Shiny one


New Headlights and bulbs fitted ( new unit on the left )


Machine polished and looking pretty smile





PH smileys fitted ready for the MX-5




C&C welcome as always!

This biggrin

Looks good, love that massive PH Smiley!

You'll only grow to love the MX5, so many buy them to sell on and keep them and spend more than the car was worth on them.

Looks great. Horrible steering wheel though! Used to the non airbag (Momo?) ones I guess.

Yet again I'm reminded what a weird animal PH is... How many other websites would get people emblazoning a three foot wide logo over their cars smile

Lovely NA. Whites are pretty rare now, be good to it!

I can't stand the steering wheel either but didn't want to change too much on the inside, may go for a momo unit.

next on the list is coilovers

They're that design, but the VR6 would have had 5-stud wheels so they're not from one.
