1st impressions since picking it up at 12 today… where have you been my beauty… [:D] The springs make such a difference
Gratuitous photo shots…
Once it has had the Tim polish treatment it will gleam even more… love this car.
Nice car, great color… and also the contrast with the building…
Thanks, I love the car, the church was just the local one to where I was…
Stunning…
I like it a lot :o) scraped any speedbumps yet now you are lowered? lol
[:D] Yep, but I used to scrape the exhaust on my Mk1 so always go slowly over them…
Thanks for the kind words all… I do think it was worth the £1200 more than the 55 plate sport they also had, nice to be slightly unusual. Off to WIM next week for a full tweek… then I can’t wait to test it out…at the speed limit of course officer[;)]
Well it’s a gorgeous shade of red and I think you were right to go for a limited edition - I get BORED with how many other galaxy greys I see lol probably why i still hanker after a niseko!
Very nice, I must admit that the MK3 is starting to grow on me.[:D]
Any chance of an under bonnet shot? I’ve never seen one for a MK3.
Paul - niseko was another choice only as I had sold my Mk1 I needed a car and they are like rocking horse poo, in Ice blue - the ONLY colour to have one in.
Mx5 - I had a quick gander when I looked at the car, I’ll get a photo this week, nothing really to look at apart from plastic IIRC. I was a Mk1 only person but the refinements of the Mk3 and the lack of chassis shake makes all the difference, I have a tyre mismatch ATM as I’ve got new Toyo’s on the front and the awful Michelins on the back, just makes for more entertaining driving, a couple of months will have the rears replaced with Toyo’s then woohoo! The price of the Mk3 now is amazing as well, except for the Launch Ed which seems to hold their price.
That is very very nice<img src=“http://mx5oc.co.uk/forum/emoticons/emotion-1.gif” alt="Smile
Nice to see a Mark 3 in sexy red!
Cheers

Not much to see though…
Have to say, in between snow, the drive of the Mk3 is superb. The car is so well balanced and will be even better tomorrow as it’s off down to WIM for a full tweak on the suspension. The Racing Beat exhaust was fitted with a K&N panel filter at the weekend and a few bits of external bling that should have been on the car from new.
Oooooooooooooo! Tasty!
Hi Tim

A few weeks time as I’m working away for a month so no chance as yet. I will start a detail thread as there are a few things that need doing which people may be interested in, such as cleaning stains from Jean dye off the leather seats. cleaning and reproofing the roof and some swirl removal from the paint. Then painting the disk edges and centres and finally the calipers. I can’t wait to gey the polisher on it, it looks great now but will look stunning.

Very nice, what are the wheels?
Ian, they are the Launch Edition wheels… nice aren’t they and easy to clean.
Hmm, they are nice, will have to keep an eye out and see if they can be bought anywhere [H]
Hasn’t got the same polishing potential as a MK1/2.
Your right but it’s made for driving…[;)]
