So after looking at quite a few, and a lot of help from PeteD , i bagged myself a MX-5 at the weekend 23.03.13
Typically it was miles away, 90 odd. Plus we had some lovely weather… snow and sleet etc, horrid, but she looked just the ticket for me, so i drove her home, then spent the rest of the day on a train to bring my old car back…
Spec wise, shes a 1.8i Sport 2002/02 finished in Sunlight Silver with matching Mazda Hard Top. 6 Speed box, 143 bhp engine, LSD, heated leather seats, 16" alloys, 6 CD double din head unit (CD’s huh?), 52k FSH, all books and bills, 4 new Pirelli’s, and a new mid n back box exhaust.
I’ve taken a few pics today, with the hard top still on, i’ll pull that off soon, and leave it in the garage with my matching silver bike, and my silver lid… What’s happend there?
Just a few mods to do, ordered a K&N Typhoon induction kit, a few new mats, plus i had her laser tracked today. I might pop a new head unit in too with iphone link/streaming, then a service, done!
I have also insured her with the mods, and Euro cover for 30 days, as i’m going to take my daughter away in it…soon, ish…
Car is nice, a bit noisey, but I think that’s the wind on the edges of the hardtop, I’ll have that off at the weekend so I can compare. That aside, the gearbox is nice, brakes feel very powerful, not that I’ve pressed them hard yet, she grips so well!
Note to ones self: must get the top off this weekend!
enjoy
