MX-5 NC Hitchin

Hi all, had my MX-5 NC 2.0 '08 just over a year now and only just getting round to saying hello!
Bit of a project that might eventually end up with a turbo but so far:

  • bought for £4ish k
  • lowered on Tein coilovers
  • replaced standard rims with Rota grids and Michelin PS5s (old alloys were in bad condition and needed new tyres anyway)
  • new plates (stamped)
  • removed the terribly installed fog lights and put blanking plates in
  • new horn
  • fixed leak directly onto fuse box
  • new head unit
  • few other cosmetic bits like side repeaters, mats etc
  • removed the cat in the downpipe after it started disintegrating

In short this car has had a history before I got it. It’s also been hit by a pickup and an Asda van since I’ve had it. Next plan is to sort the dents, dings and paintwork and I’ve got a gravity 4-2-1 manifold to fit this week…
