My new uber camp automobile. MX-5 Project.

[Nafoff]

really really like that

 

[Goodj]

Not a fan of the wheels but stance is looking good, purposeful without being stupid low as Gally says.

Conversely, I like the wheels but can't agree with the "stance".

 

[jesus]

I still need taking out in it.

 

[coxy777]

It must scrape like a mother. Mine had sparks coming out the back at this height. (winter mode fyi)

 

[chriscummins7]

Possibly the best 5 project i've seen. REALLY nice mate, well done!

 

[sofaboy]

Thanks for all the comments guys, for the record It really isn't all that practical, and is much lower then it seems in the pictures. Im going to spend the day with the car tomorrow hopefully then you'l see it, if not, trax, il wiggle my way onto the CS stand.

[Jason_E]

Lovely mate. Good work!

 

[sofaboy]

Just a snap of it on the drive after the headlight lid blew off on the motorway.

Then just because it got so many positive comments on facebook, this was actually intended to be a photo of the 40 year old black guy on the pink kids scooter, Ballin' hard.

Then a few photos of my mates FC

The FC is pretty standard
Kei office coilovers
R33 GTR wheels
Welded diff
NRG snap off hub attached to a red with yellow stitching personal wheel.

Either way its a proper awesome car. Oh and its for sale too.

What's your gearbox like?
I went to go try one out yesterday, and it felt like you had to proper force the gears in.. especially 5th/reverse. Would that just be down to high mileage or are they all like that?

 

[Christopher]

How much is he looking for the FC?

 

[welshname]

How much is he looking for the FC?

You are determined to get something jap arent you lol.

Would you get something as a third car or be getting rid of the 182 or 133?

 

[Christopher]

The funny thing is, we don't even need one car. lol. My 182's done 2k this year. Even less on the Twingo which is still on 11k from new.

I do love a nice FC, but I'd need it mint rather than drifted...

That said, the FC above does look awesome on the 33 rims.

It does look pretty nice tbf. And 2k this year?!?! No wonder those wheels stay nice and white! Mine does that a month near enough. Done 21k since September.

 

[mat-nos]

Thanks Matt, bought an R5 yet?

no mate looked at 6 of them and anything sub 4k needs a lot of work for it to be the way id want it, been looking into lupos and s3 engines recently, or might even put blood diamond on the road and cam about in that for a bit!!!

 

[sofaboy]

Chris he wants 2k for it

Errr update without photos, This car spent plenty of time in hey bails all weekend, and generally making a mess of mallory park... All fun though.

 

[NinjaGutz]

car looks quality mate, lovin the lowz

Mines on over 115K and the gearbox is superb. People who have driven it have said how it has a great gearbox.

Think it must just have been that car.

 

[Rob]

Get that headlight sorted then I love it again.

Brilliant looking car this.

 

[sofaboy]

TBF i think they are very very stiff, both of the ones ive driven are very stiff to change gear, but it is an awesome box.

Photo before awesomefest

A quick vid of awesomefest shot by foxy, im in it twice, and i spin once, this was my first or second session and tbf i was very nervous, and a lack of hydro made the chicane difficult.

Yeah, seemed odd that it was more noticeable on two gears... I'll bear it in mind when I view the next one

Drifting looks tricky! Do you have an LSD or just an open diff? Interested to see how much difference they make tbh

 

[MaLicE]

you need to have MASSIVE balls to attempt to drift open lol! only way you get it to slide is by chucking it in to a corner as hard and fast as u can in fact i wouldn't even attempt it lol! if you get an open diff weld it, even most lsd's are shot to f**k and won't lock that well... but if its just for occasional playing a stock lsd is fine if you want to get serious you need to look at a 2 way
