Saw a yellow one in the flesh earlier. Got to say, if it wasn't for the colour i wouldn't have noticed it was an ST! It doesn't look bad - but it's certainly not eye catching. I know that's not their priority with it but it's a bit too subtle for me.
Bodgey conversions is probably their problem then lol. I remember having a play in my VTR with another with a VTS conversion and the guy was properly annoyed i kept leaving him. Looking at his car though, it was a shed so i can only imagine what the conversion was like.
Iirc the Puma lumps are...
Yea, the wheels are always going to be a bit of an issue for some people - but i'm happy with them so i'll let people think what they like :)
And thanks!
Keep an eye out around Manchester on Monday and you might spot it, Chris.
I doubt it... There's maybe a handful of decent photographers on this forum. And not all of them will attend shows with the club. Not to mention you don't want shots from shows really as they tend to be the most boring!
Haha! The Momo button is just out the original wheel. In the Saxo i had an OMP button, but that took a bit of bodgery to make it fit. Love the feel of dished wheels though.
Keen eye there ;) It is... But it's a wheel I had in my Saxo, which then went into a friends Saxo, then went into a friends Civic, then another friends Saxo. All those years and still showing no signs of bending like a spoon. Even tried to make it bend like a spoon.
It's an RMD item :)
Not sure if the downforce question is serious? Lol. If so I think that said it all really.
As for not a shed, it's got it's faults... Few of them! But yea, it's no shed. Definitely one of the most solid ones I've seen :) Thanks for the positives folks!
I'd recommend it! I'll admit, after the first week of ownership i had the slight feeling of 'i've got rid of a really nice Clio for something so old!'... But that lasted a couple of days and ever since then i've not looked back. It really is the most fun car i've owned.
Thanks both :)...
Just thought i'd put some more recent pics on here for the fellow mx5 owners/appreciators...
Most recent addition is the splitter, which has made a ton of difference imo :)
Been for a couple of spirited drives this weekend and got to say i love this little car. Not the quickest thing by a...
Not a fan of carbon wrap but it doesn't look too bad. Got to agree with the above comment though, pointless adding fancy bit's and not having a clean interior. Just kills the whole effect you've tried to make.
Haha... Bumping that a bit! I've sold the car since then and it's now owned by another member of this forum - looking fairly similar to these shots but a few small differences.
Not sure how much it was lowered as i just wound the coilovers down 'til i was happy. The new owner has since raised...
My boss has been looking at these, i don't think he'll get one though he's too tight. Prices start around 60k iirc?
Nice cars though! I really like the look of them.
Seen shots of the blue one a few week back... Both are nice but i really like the blue one! Couldn't own anything like that, mind. Be f**king awful on our roads.
