Don't waste your money, seriously, get down a breakers and get new wing and bumper in the right colour if you must, it'd be cheaper.

On mk.2 & 2.5, definately. I shall scour MX5OC and get a definative answer though, I'm doubting myself now. I was convinced no UK-spec Mk.1's got an LSD.... maybe the turbo specials did, but now I just don't know.

Bravo that man. EDIT: 14k would get me my Smartuki Roadster-Coupe. Trading off cubes for revs

Those wheels would suit a Toledo better, but maybe a different colour would make them "fit" the Bora nicer. A chrome-esque finish maybe

Some special edition mk.1s may have had LSD's, but they weren't commonplace. Even when the 1.8 came out.

Like that a lot. Exclusives need more respect, generally

Re: do you need to have your alligment looked at once you have had a track rod end fi 40 quid or a quicker change to new front tyres?

Not quite. a lot of the Eunos (mk.1 import) special editions (V-spec or something like that) came with LSD. but UK cars didn't get manufacturer-fit LSD until the Mk.2 Anniversary and beyond. Esiest way to tell on non-Eunos models (this is, of course, provided no modifications have occured) is...

The only (and I mean moderately) cost-effective of modding any car is to uprate parts you need to replace though. Exhaust dead? Time for a fancy one Busted spring? Time for lowz / coilieez Etc. Servicing on a '5 isn't tragic though, and as they run perfectly on 15's, tyres should be the same...

<3 also.

good man. even the 1.8 is hardly a y0-drifting powerhouse, the later funky-valves version was a degree better but unless you end up doing a transplant or bolting a blower to it, you've not got a slider. Still, it's spot on for nailing apexes and carrying corner speed

You should be find a specialist who can do the LSD-swap job fairly easily. Given you've got the 1.6 though, may as well just swap out to a standard diff, you wont be doing much in the way of wel sik driftage.

You should be able to get a LSD from a breakers, a lot of the Eunos Mk.1's had them and they came back on the 1.8is / sport / icon and a few other special editions.

You've got a nice Mk.2 there fella. Rear wheels look a little deep in the arches, have you added camber? I had a black mk.2 and loved it. in fact, it's over there <-- You will have trouble getting a look like the Mk.1 you've pictured, I'd suggest you look at what Mazdaspeed did in terms of...

Rob does make a convincing argument for 2-seater droptop living. Autotrader enganged - Ahead SLK32!

Standard operating procedure for BMW convertibles IIRC? :rasp:

Not really, they came with twin-pipes out of the box.

Myself, I prefer it if the c**kpit is wihtout lights when driving at night. if I could fit a SAABeqsque "Night-panel" switch to my car I'd do it in a snap. But, of course, that's just my idea. Besides, are you going to forget your gate pattern and need to stare at the shifter to remember...

Why? I see no valid reason for this. It's no better than a saxo running twin-drainpipes.

If I count slow enough, I can do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. In the old mans work van.

what's it's 1/4 mile average?

You sure can http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201215462641143/sort/default/usedcars/transmission/automatic/body-type/coupe/engine-size-cars/5lplus/seller-type/trade_adverts/model/e_class/make/mercedes-benz/postcode/w36rs/radius/1500/page/1?logcode=p...

Has OP considered a DCi instead of the 1.6? from what I understand a DCi is superior to any of the sub-2.0 clios (Mk.2 of course)

May as well deck the roof frame with fairy lights.

Those Multi-spokes are very nice indeed. Tempted to run it at lawnmower-clearance with inner-edge-melting geometry? +1 against light-up shifter.

Surely if OP is looking for an "iPad mini", isn;t that just an iPod Touch? or iPhone?

Authentic Lolz

+1 to that I'm a Sony Fanboy to the end, but I couldn't justify racking up the bill on Sony seperates, so went with the standard-issue Richer Sounds set-up http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/hifi-separate-systems/pah01233

They're better than standard flat-screen speakers, but for the money you could get a Sony mini/micro system and get better quality. Unless you're talking about the surround-sound bars, in which case definately dont bother
