Nice, is it the 1.8 or 2.0?

Just booked my 2.0 in for Intake/Exhaust Manifold/Remap at Skuzzle, hoping for 190bhp!
Will update with results.

After having a car that struggled to go up hills I went for the 2.0L. It went from being showroom polished to covered in ice and mud over the weekend too

Any one with an NC2 had the WIM springs fitted?

I'm hoping to take it in Q1 of '18 but was hoping to see the sort of drop I should expect prior to booking.

I bought this last week, stumbled across it a 10 minute walk from home. Always fancied a MX5 so decided to take the plunge for a fun car for a few road trips, these were taken the morning after i bought it.







So a week into ownership I am still delighted

Looks great! Pity we haven’t had much roof down weather but it’s still great fun.

Here’s a picture of mine.

This is my current weapon of choice, a MK3 that's been tickled to 300bhp and had a few tweaks elsewhere too









Then the old supercharged MK1 that got me hooked on MX5's in the first place





And then the one that I pulled out of a hedge and turned into a track car smile Note the actual hedge growing out the door and bonnet!






Love(d) all three of them, and all for different reasons. Currently wrestling the devil on my shoulder over a list of things to add to the current MK3 though!

A couple of pics I snapped yesterday, looks much better with the roof up in my opinion.

Hi Tybo, that's a name from the past! I remember when you had the silver Mk2, it was instrumental in me buying my first Mk1 (in 2008 I think!?).

New car looks great!

How do.

That Mk2 is the one car I regret selling. Owned it for 8 years.

What are you driving these days?

Since the Black Mk1 I've had a mk2 MX5, then an MR2, then a Mk1 MX-5 that was turbo'd, and now a Boxster! (alongside sensible cars). I still hanker after another 5 and have been tempted a few times to get a Mk3 that I can modify, make it noisy, fast and pointy. Your's looks a lot of fun
