It's the Mpg to performance ratio that hurts most... I owned a Megane 225 after the 197 and it was significantly better on fuel, and a fair bit faster.

Yeah I do know someone so I might send them a message... I reckon I might re-wrap the roof as it's easier than removing the whole lot.

Luckily it's all off bar the roof and the bonnet which are changeable if need be... I'm certainly thinking of getting the bonnet repainted or even buying another.

I bought it relatively blind (it was at auction) so I'm pleased it's got some decent mods.

Cheers for the suggestion. The worst part is that the carbon wrap won't peel, it just breaks up. It'll going to take weeks unless I can find a quicker way.

As you may have seen my Mk1 up for sale on here I've been looking for something newer to replace it. The Mk1 has been faultless and loads of fun over the past 4.5 years, but I felt it was time for a change. Then last week I was offered Banzai Magazine's old Mk3 project car, so I've decided to...

...Also, where's the roll cage!?

Looks like a wheelie bin lid has been glued to the bonnet...

Colour isn't to my taste, but it's a great car... I went to the 'Ring in one and have loved them ever since.

I love weird, pointless and fun cars, so this gets a big thumbs up from me.

I wouldn't worry too much. I'd base your purchase on condition over anything else.

I disagree with the 'take your budget and double it' comments... I've been doing trackdays for years and years and I've spent next to nothing on my cars. Most of them got tracked in the same condition as I bought them.

As said budget can be as low as you want... If you're not worried about looking cool or having the best spec car you can do it really cheap. I spent £1200 on a Suzuki Ignis and used it as both track car and daily, and I didn't buy anything for it other than replacing tyres when they got low...

I was just about to say 205 GTI too, only I sold a rally car for £600 ?.

I'll never forget the moment I was putting in a decent lap at the 'Ring and one of those 250 Cup's passed me like I was standing still, chasing after a GT3.

Awesome charity run car.

Yeah I've always liked the look. They've aged well, mostly because the styling was a bit ahead of its time.

Surely some progressive springs like Eibachs will help, providing they don't lower the car any?

Possibly my next purchase once the Fiesta dies.

Everything seems big in a 1991 MX-5...

That looks good fun, and doesn't look underpowered either. Really like the Primera GT, I nearly bought one a couple of years back with the same intentions of using it as a track toy.

Just wrap some gaffa tape round it and it'll be fine...

Good to see the meets returning. I'm a maybe depending on plans.

Haven't used to MX-5 much lately due to the appalling weather, but now it's back with new brakes and tyres thanks to @George@RTR_Parts and BRSCC MX-5 driver Martin Tolley. I gave it a clean today too...

Tidy! Nearly bought a Mk3 several times in the past. I like the idea of a 'modern' MX-5 that's fine to use daily, but then I get back in my Mk1 and I'm reminded how much more fun they are. I'll still end up with a Mk3 one day... Love what you've done with yours by the way, it looks great.

You sound like me! Only problem I find with trackdays on road tyres is I round the shoulders of the tyres off way before they get low on tread.

I love my MX-5... It's officially the car I've owned the longest. They can push on quite well in the right hands but yes, you'd notice a significant lack of power coming from a Clio to a stock MX-5. I wouldn't let it put you off though, they're great fun.

Set his house on fire.

Well if there's a good reason to crack on and get my race license, this is it!

I like how he can use words like "provenance" yet his description is full of grammatical errors.
