Pretty much finished now in terms of mods, as the car is looking and going just how I want it smile

Thought I'd celebrate by cleaning it up and taking a bunch of pictures...





















Cheers for looking!

Not S/C then? If not, then you're not finished hehe Apart from that, it is perfectly modified.

Fire it up on the 'Pictures of decently modified cars' thread. Should go down pretty well there I could imagine.

I like that a lot.

Coachwork colour and wheels really suit it, superb.

Colour really suits it, is the roll bar a style-bar or functional one?

It's functional mate smile it's a custom jobbie too. Don't like the look/shape of most of the off-the-shelf rollbars really.

I'm glad you guys like the styling etc.

Supercharging is going to happen somewhere down the line eventually, but for now I'm just enjoying where it's at currently smile I guess a reliable 200bhp would be a nice benchmark to aim for in the future though.

I must get a video at somepoint because the Mazdaspeed exhaust with the 4-2-1 and decat sounds pretty crazy.

As I can tell just by looking at the photo's it has had this done to it...

Mazda Speed Stainless Exhaust
4-2-1 Manifold
Decat
Lowered 35mm Eibachi Lowering Springs
15" Alloys with new toyo's
front OMP Strut Brace
Blitz Induction kit
FSE adjustable fuel regulator
new brake pads all round
Numberplate up-front has been replaced as a stick-on and reduced in size

I can also tell by the pics that this is a 1.6 MX5 with a possible tear in the rear screen, M.O.T due in march, 4 months tax left and obviously easy to the untrained eye, that the front badge is missing!

Christ... I must be some sort of genius biggrin

One of the best MX5's I've seen. That colour really suits the black wheels. Is it a UK car or an Import?

Import according to the add.

Francis, have you had the restrictor taken off old bean?



Never seen the MX5 in this colour before - Definitely the best colour combo on a MX5 biggrin

Sorry fella hehe

After seeing how good yours is, I ended up scouring the classifieds and ended up stumbling across the add.(Still there http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1853270.htm )

To tell you the truth, I really want one now! So much car for very little money yes

How easy would it be to transplant a 20b rotory into one of these?scratchchindriving

That's ok, I'm sure the intakes won't be to everyones taste! They are purposeful though, the engine bay temps are higher with the lights down and this helps get a load more cold air circulating around the engine bay.
