This one? Looks like it's swallowing its wheel, but the rest of it is tasty. Are those F1's on it?

Better hope you dont get involved in any sort of incident then fella THe rub here is that if you can't afford them, don't have them

I hope you wont, totally. If this starts to look like the "other" MX-5 project thread then I reserve the right to... I dunno, not like? ;)

@Gally - Alternatively, just get all your wheels pointing on the p*ss and whack some "deep-dish" rims that even a Countach wouldn't justify. Oh, and dont forget the Mr. Plow splitter EDIT- @Tow B - Gloss black? Silver might look better

What a guy

specialists will do as they're told, unless they want to be part of the nationwide cull of franchises

Dude, you just need enkei wheels, in white.

nice looking Mk.2 there.

Mine is a mile down the road from work. that's that settled, sorry MWM

All works guaranteed for a year (and after that there's always the law), so red-line the sucker out of the garage and if the car pops, they can wheel it back in and fit you a new engine from their own wallets

Timing and aux belt, £399?!?!?!?!? SOLD! IS this going to be an ongoing thing, or some sort of temporary promotion? If it's only temporary it's tempting to get the belts done now at this rate

1 leg in plaster IIRC?

P5 used to bring in all the Flyin Miata kit, it may still be the same, wither way, they'll see you reet

Mace set the Castle Combe lap record on a snow-covered track, using a 1.172 on racing slicks. It did have lowz, and a bucket

Post requires photograhic proof of superb driving skillz in Clio

Any snow tyres in here yet? Or is the thread really 172 + Snow + 2mm tread on R888s = Fail

Did the Quentin Wilson adverts tip you over in the end then Dave?

I'd look up the proper MazdaSpeed set-up if you can find them. It may not leave you scraping your bumpers on the floor when you drive, but it was developed to actually help handling. A couple of places worth looking at http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/ http://www.performance5.com/

Not at all, no. If you're going to keep standard shocks, you wont want to go much lower than standard anyway. 60mm will give you grief, from what I've read on here, 40mm will be alright but you're going to be putting a lot more load on your already aged dampers. The alternative (although this...

Zero want. The Audi avant just looks like it's self-levveling rear suspension has an expensive problem, or there's a Barnsley hen night in the back.

If I get a white MX-5 I'll definately have to vinyl it up in Marlboro livery. Or, if I get the black Brabus, whack JPS all over it. May even be tempted by a blue Toeldo, then it'll be Rothmans, all day

Didn't realise it was the clip on the hard top that was the problem, it may cost more to fix than to replace, if you get it done well anyway. Enkei's work well on MX-5's, but don't demand that you adjust suspension to make it look like the chassis is about to fold in half Before you start...

Getcha. I had awful visions of volume being jacked up through city centres, with the only respite coming at traffic lights. Mind is at ease now :)

What about in between traffic lights? If I'm even remotely near people I'll have the stereo turned down, a stripey clio doesn't need any more help to be seen as a chavwagon

If that lived down my road and came back late every night with the stereo on, I'd probably reach for the paint stripper. But if your sense of social responsibiilty stops you doing this, then those who keyed your motor should be keyed in the face

Sounds like a sound move. Cheaper tyres at that size too. although, in fairness, do you really do enough to justify waxing a grand on rims and boots for the occasional day? If your occasional track day happens to bethrashing down with rain then you may be worse off than just sticking with a...

TRactor tyres have tread blocks the size of a clios wheels, hardly a fair comparison

You'll need 4 wheels ideally mate, not just 1 or 2 ;) What's the problem with your roof clip? If the hood in good order anyway, if not if may be worth tapping up stealers or a replacement hood and frame (any Mk.1/2/2.5 should go on)

As above. years can stack up without mileage. Which is quite annoying

I'm sure i'll feel the same when I ditch Stripey. which is why I need to make sure I chose well when the day comes.
