So i bought this late last year and it is my third MX5, previous being a mk2 and mk3. I couldnt really afford to buy it but it came up locally and it is REALLY solid! Had been rustproofed and no visible rust at all, it was just looking abit dull/tatty but original..

First picture i took of it when i got it home (daily behind.. Perfect duo of cars IMO)


The plan was to keep it original and not spend any money on it, that didnt last long, this is it now after nearly what i paid for it spent on it again and some elbow grease..




Non standard bits.. (excluding vinyl wrapping some bits)

- Vmaxx Coilover suspension
- Rota Grid Wheels/yokohama tyres
- Decat
- Advanced timing (getting done on tuesday)

Mostly its been alot of touch up pen painting and polishing to get it looking like someone loves it. It could really do with a body shop having it for abit and sorting dents out etc but im skint. The front bumper will be getting resprayed before summer though..

You could change the front indicators from yellow to white and remove the tie-down hooks in the grill area. Cheap/simple to tidy it up.

Personally, I like original 14" wheels. Are your new ones 15"?

The front indicators are actually orange and hidden behind the TSI along with an LED sidelight. Yeah the new ones are 15", to be honest it drove better on the smaller wheels.. I will probably swap them for something smaller maybe even go down the 13" route when ive got bored of these.

Haha! It was nice before dont get me wrong but it wasn't very me. I am planning to keep it for a good few years as im going to be saving for a house deposit soon as were renting at the moment so im not worried about if it appeals to everyone thumbup

I like it. Kind of the vision I have if I were to buy another.
