Well i've had the 5 about a month now so thought its about time to get a few pics up. The NW lot have already seen it but thought the rest may like a look.

I'm loving the car, mods on it are the wheels and a front strut brace (on it when I got the car) I've also added a K&N 57i IK to it for a bit of noise. It drives really well, unfortunately I haven't driven it in the dry yet however I think I prefer it to my ph1 172 already.

[JoeyD]

Still torn as to whether or not I should buy one...

Not at the minute, just enjoying it. I'd recommend on to anybody. They're a great drive.

Good cars.

Is it a 16 or a 18? Eunos or UK? Got a LSD?

1.8. UK. Unfortunately it has no diff. I wanted an Eunos but insurance didn't like it. I'm keeping an eye out for a Torsen diff for it when one comes up cheap second hand. I do feel it misses the diff especially at low speeds when it will spin the inside wheel up.

Looks good, much fun to be had in one of these!

 

[Dunn]

That looks ace

I really want an Mx-5 but the Girlfriend is having none of it......Yours looks nice but needs some stance imo.

Cheers Seb. It need to go low but I don't want put cheap coilies on it. It rides and handles so well as standard.

I just fitted the BC Racing coilovers and makes so much difference. Cant recommend them enough.

Nearly £600 worth of coilovers though. I don't doubt they're an improvement but its not worth the money for me when the standard setup is so good.

Nice! I've been looking for one for a while

get yourself on Nutz and you get some good discount.
