I gave mine a bit of a wash and buff. It’s our first anniversary and I’m still besotted with the old girl. Just passed her MOT with no advisories

You’ll have to give us the verdict when fitted, very tempted myself.

Cobalt exhaust fitted, rest of system completely stock.
Initial impression is that it is a very nice tone not overly loud just a deeper note am very happy with it. Build quality is spot on, you get two stainless bolts and the crush gasket with it. Not been on a motorway with it so can’t comment on any drone but not expecting any from what I’ve read.
Here are the before and after pics

The longitudinal rails make a big difference to chassis stiffness and frog arms under the front wings sharpen the steering and prevent a lot of scuttle shake.
So this is the cars Ride Hight at the end of 550 miles all nut/bolts /fittings Rechecked wheel Alignment rechecked down 32mm front H/S setting 18
Rear down 20mm H/S setting 22 runs on rails not to hard clears the speed humps
Thanks for taking the time to look

Eeer the prices ? Must have been sniffing the modelling glue 
Yikes! I’m in the wrong job.
Do they sell many of those do you think?
You could save a pretty penny by building your own and have some fun doing it. 
$549 for an NC?They’re havin’ a giraffe!
Well… since last time
Michelin ps5 215/45/R17
Ohlins Road & Track Coilovers from Bofi
Fitted, geometry setup and weight balance by Paul Roddison
Also got a smartop because I had enough getting grief from people having to wait for me to get the roof up/down
From my calculations its not a 50% / 50% weight balance i think its 51/49 but will confirm later

What have you done to your MX-5 today?
I have put it up for sale. Owning a nice car without your own driveway in London doesn’t work for me. People have very little respect for other people belongings. Will go back to 2 wheels a Triumph 675 or 765 Street triple, maybe MT09 as I can park it in a shelter around the back.
Was a good car.

Imho the MT09 engine is an absolute peach and nicer than the triumph triples , - just invest in plenty of acf50 or similar if you do get one.

Stripped the front wings to bare metal and etch primed. Frost strip gel - it’s the good stuff as it properly burns when it brushes past your gauntlets 
.
Wings and bonnet and nosecone to body shop for proper new 2k to match the rest of it.

I had the original 675 but never tried the 2013-2017 model which had many revisions and not tried 765. MT09 i did test ride, seat was uncomfortable but otherwise seemed good but this was when it was first released, I’d go after a 2 gen mt09 which had a few style changes and suspension with more adjustment.
Got back in the Hardtop gang today. Regretted selling mine so i got another luckily. Couple of things, anyone got any side striker plates for sale and or is anyone after a trade for a black roof? Suffolk area
