fastest the Hispania went all weekend

Exactly. Which is why I facepalm everytime I see a decent Clio Shopping that's having money poured into it by a young driver. Besides the insurance costs, they'll never shift it when they do go buying a decent motor... providing it doesn't winf up shiny-side down within 3 months of course.

Also it depends what you're after of course, as our man here points out. Since a lot of MX-5's are "fair weather" weekend toys, a lot of non-entheusiasts may not have gone near his example. THere was a MK 2.5 1.8 with a supercharger kit and various other mods that wasn't selling for 6.5k...

nothing that mesing around with the suspension settings endlessly wont fix

Yes, that will happen.

If you like it, then get it. good examples of these motors will always sell. The main thing to look out for thugh are hoods in poor condition, a fabric one will last better than vinyl and are les llikely to crack, once cracks form in vinyl hoods, it's a matter of how long you can put up...

sounds about right for a scabby but running MK.1 import. just play on autotrader, you'll soon get the idea. Truly, these are one of those cars you simply must have at some point, I miss mine everytime the sun comes out.

Surely a heavyweight clutch, huge snail of a turbo, intercooler the size of a house and a remap will give you big beans from a diesel? Otherwise, would a laguna 2.2dci fit in the nose of a Clio?

Careful with your changes, I'm sure the MX5 forums will point you in the right direction, but the american way of doing things to Miata's is....... not conducive to UK B roads, let's say.

At least get the proper V6 one! :)

nasty. straight, plain nasty. single pipe, or none at all.

Get those springs changed son.

I guess we just keep alert for anyone new posting "Hi I'm new (orange wheel content inside)"

is it worth buying for parts? Then mailing the photos of it in pieces to that mag and the bell that built it. "Finally, put out of its misery"

"it'll make poiont 5 past light speed"

Same idea as the Grand Prix. How many people rock up with 800hp single-seaters to go and spectate? Problem is that even the site looks like it was knocked together in the back of a slammed & 'kitted Saxo

No more than when Replicas get left for dead by Mini coopers or Panda 100's. Just, that in this car, you cant hear them laughing

I'd expect a 19yr-old who's only got early-90's copies of Fast Car as reference to own this. But someone in their 30's? YOu're not in line for a mid life crisis yet sir! That spoiler alone must weigh 1/2 a tonne stationary, and probably no more than that once moving. Sorry, but no, you're...

noooo, stick with the steel! :)

"The ultimate Clio"? No Turinis? No Silvervisions? Good god, it's like he's never heard of the one true forum of RS ownership.

That's pretty cool actually. But an MX-3 looks better ;)

Got braces? http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4538&parentid=0&stocknumber=13-69920%20%201990-97 http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4538&parentid=0&stocknumber=13-69000 http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4538&parentid=0&stocknumber=13-71000

It's the same for everyone who sticks a post up where they caused a crash but decide to post it up chap.

just out of interest, who made the thread name, was there some Admin amendments? Otherwise, it didn't help matters. Another lesson learnt

Ditchmaster canvas specials

chassis braces (inlcuding the butterfly brace) & A-pillar braces will cure it all, no hassles. The Mk2.5 sports had the chassis bracing as standard, but the mounting points are present on ALL MK1 & Mk2 MX-5's and eunoses

yes.

To be fair chap, just get used to it as is. Get it all serviced and aligned, see how you get along. You can do a lot to the handling without the need to made it run lower or rock solid springs & dampers. Chassis and a-pillar braces are a good call, they take out a lot of body flex.A better...
