Got the car during my lunch break today! Gave it a quick clean tonight and its made a big difference. Mechanically it seems pretty good but is a bit tatty cosmetically and will need a load of parts to do it up! Not sure what to order first! :approve:

Sounds good. Im going to fix a few of the faults with mine first before modifying it. Would love to turbo it at some point.

Good job! As long as we are both happy with our purchases that's all that matters! You done much to it? What colour is it?

Accident? How come? ;)

Not bad but the 1.8's are normally a bit more to buy. I wanted the bigger engine and I got the "is" spec I wanted with the lsd and a stiffer chassis than the 1.6. It also came with a long mot so I'm very happy! :cool:

What spec of mx5 is it? 1.6? Did it come with a hard top and new roof?

Just insured it fully comp for 250 for the year. Not bad! Get it tomorrow!

Yeah its a bit of a cheap bucket to throw some cash at and maybe take on some track days for a laugh!

Lol steven you get second prize.. Has a bit of rust on the rear arches but its a decent spec (Mk1 1.8is which is the one I wanted) and comes with a good hard top! All for less than £700! :-P

Winner...

Lol nope... Don't have the cash for an RS or a goat! ;)

Evening guys can you guess what car I've just bought? Seems to be the most popular one on Cliosport just now? lol

Thats been up for sale at that same dealer for over a year... Too much £ me thinks...

What about an mx5 then stick a turbo or supercharger on it? Cheap and quick?

Or how about a v8 powered bbq? lol :p

Leaves a bugatti standing... Must be some power to weight ratio.. http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos-12/12-05-12page-Venom-GT-gors-0-to-228mph-in-under-20-seconds.htm

Nice video. Do they fit a stronger diff and clutch as part of the cost? That turbo looks really tight in there at the back of the engine. I see its got a heat jacket round it but surely it wouldnt get any airflow for cooling back there?

Wow. They had to cut everything out. Kind of a shame theres so little of the original car left. And i prefer the looks of the bullitt mustang... But its a nice car!

Guess that old body and chassis will need some strengthening with all that power...

There must be some difference on pwr to weight.. But theres a reason why.. Its built much better...

Huge step up on build. I always liked the 987 s. What sort of mileage has it done?

I'd just watch for it burning oil now... The sump plug fell out of my 172 cup when the Renault garage didnt tighten it up.. Think it fried the piston rings at the top with the lack of oil pressure.. Turned it off straight away but it started burning a fair bit of oil and I eventually needed a...

Nice. Suits these wheels too...

Evo 6 for me...

Looks like it handles quite well. I doubt if it will be viable for renault to build though as it would prob be £50k plus quite easily...

The exhausts look like bazookas at the back but I guess thats why it sounds good! IIRC its the racing megane underneath?

I'm liking the look and sound of this.. Pity it will prob never go into production, especially the way Renault's finances are going. http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos-12/05-29-12page-Renault-Alpine-A110-50.htm

You would think there would be a way round it though...

I've actually seen quite a few of the r's, vw must be selling a fair few. I suppose it looks more understated and better built than the 1M. It would tune quite easily as well and you would get all of the power down. I don't understand why they left the sciorrico r fwd. Marketing?

Got it on my GS2 on Vodaphone. Not a huge difference.. Novelty value of face unlock wears off after a while...
