Yeah, Just popped over for the day for my girlfriends birthday - saw Jenson Button in the centre too which was cool... I'd have said Hi if I'd know you were there!
I was the other side of the car park - it's properly loud!
Wee bit of an update:
I ordered a JDM plate recess a few weeks ago, and that came this week, along with a new set of plates and front plate holder. So I think I'm Kind of legal now... lol

To be properly legal you'd need washer jets and auto levelling too IIRC.
I didn't bother with those on mine and just bought a pair of headlamps/ballast units and they were fine - never had any trouble with police etc.
He says it's so cheap because of the paintwork. Meh who knows! But it's a decent price for even a normal MX5 tbh! Even if it was a dog, you could probably make your money back breaking it for parts...
They're perfect for a first RWD car IMO. I think if I'd have hopped straight into an S13 or a 328i I would have ventured into a hedge by now. Easily!
Awesome things.
Yeah, standard 14's. They've got Firestones all round atm which are actually not bad - predictable in the way they lose grip etc in the dry, just in the wet you've got to be dead careful as there's not much tread left! Lol. Almost understeered straight into a curb on a wet roundabout when I...
Yes, a new roof would be ideal. It gets kind of boring sitting in a puddle everytime it rains... I'm going to try and seal it for now and cover it in chemical guys vinyl stuff so it looks acceptable, but its difficult to see where the water actually gets in... its just comes from everywhere...
White is for Hero's iirc ;)
Ahh, better than having a s**t plastic one - I can't see a thing out of mine. I believe you can just buy a new zip if you're any good with a sewing machine? Lol
Completely agree about the Clio comment - I'd never dream of owning one now. That seating position is just...
Yeah, just height adjustable cheapo ones. They're So much better now I've cut like 2 inches out of the bump stops.
I don't know about 1.8's or newer 1.6's but mine emptied a tank in about 250 miles on the way back from getting it... which is not great! Lol
Saw that for sale a while back, mine will be pretty much the same as that... just not with Rota's. Love the way it looks though! Awesome.
Want to know what oil temp etc gauges he has, they look alright...
To be honest Alex, its quite rusty... up close the sills could do with a bit of attention - you can see on my first set of photos that there's filler on there etc, but I don't think it'll require work for some time. Bear in mind mines a UK car, which are supposedly the worst for rust, and its 21...
They're garbage! TA Technix ones apparently. They're exactly like ones you'd fit to the front of a Clio - I'll grab some photo's tomorrow when I chop up the bump stops.
My brown wheel fail is awesome. I think the next ones will just go satin black - can't seem to find a decent bronze colour...
