Good grief.
...and to think I got offered a nice R32 for £7k back in 2005!
Yup they were ridiculous value for money a few years back, wish I bought one sooner! I got in just before the boom, the value has doubled in my short ownership already. Try not to think about that side of it though as I don’t want to sell it! ...and to think I got offered a nice R32 for £7k back in 2005!

^ NICE the 86 does look particularly good in red. Any plans to change the wheels? for me those are the only real let down.
I'd like to get a set of the matt black Team Dynamics <something> 1.2 wheels to go on it. The stud pattern on the MX5 is 114.5 vs 100 on the 86. Otherwise I could just move them over...darn!Then as it's my everyday car I'd have summer/track and winter sets.

Like that!
Have you driven it back to back with a full fat EVO?
What's the difference like?
It’s a little lighter and has a 2in shorter wheelbase, but drives pretty much the same.Have you driven it back to back with a full fat EVO?

The biggest benefit is less rust as it was under sealed from new as a UKDM car.
I just liked the idea, so I did it.
I did cut up a perfectly straight Evo 2 Gsr shell for all the AWD parts in the process, when they were still cheap. At the time it didn’t feel like a crime.
Spoiler alert!!!

I've had this a few weeks now and have spent a substantial amount of time clay baring and decontaminating the paint ready for a more thorough detail but as it was sunny I fancied a break from cleaning & went for a blast which included a quick stop for a few pictures. .

I thought that location looked familiar.
Selsley Common looking across to Stroud.

My new toy, dealer pics only at the moment as it's a bit grubby after coming down from Harrogate!
Standard other than the reverse camera and integrated screen. I'll be looking out for the GB270 alcantara seats on Ebay/breakers as I prefer the looks of them.
It needs the rear shocks sorted soonish although they're not terrible, I'll probably upgrade them and fit STI Brembo brakes when I get the suspension done, and get it aligned as well as that's a bit off.
It's great fun! Quieter and faster than my BBR'd MK4 MX5 (which will be going up for sale shortly). I love the turbo torque, wonderful on the motorway in comparison to my MX5! Confidence inspiring as well on a very wet M40.
Needed a more practical thing for bikes and gardening work...felt this would fit the bill!
