Bought the car on Friday, broke down on Saturday (fanbelt snapped!), cleaned it Sunday!
Here it is at the moment I'm hoping to update this thread as I progress with the car.
It's a 1993 K Eunos Roadster 1.6i (115bhp) in Mariner Blue, I'm hoping to make it into a great trackday as well as a daily driver, think I can make the best of both worlds as I don't care for creature comforts in cars!
First of all I have a What Wheels?? Basically I would like some white ones, so please recommend away!
Also What Rollbar?? Again I would like this to be white and a proper roll bar not a style bar.

That looks an absolute cracker, very clean! I wish mine was a blue or red one.
As for wheels, just keep an eye on the forums and ebay, lots come up for sale every week. You'll be wanting 15s if its going to be a proper drivers car.

I'm not going to say it's a keeper as I don't know!! BUT if it says til the winter it's being FI'ed 
(Would love to transplant a V8 into it but can't have a car thats off the road for long 
)! 
Looks a very nice one
Wheels - well I'm biased as I have some but have a look at Enkeis, mine are the RPO1 which are available pretty cheaply second hand.
Not sure what the rollbar options are in the UK but a bit of investigating should find something - try mx5nutz and so on. Also worth getting the underbody suspension braces if the car doesn't have them already - I found they made quite a difference, especially in fast, bumpy corners.
You might be surprised how little it take for an MX5 to be great on track, mine is pretty much standard (has 15"s, rollbar, underbody braces and thats about it) and the only other things I'd really want to add are a bucket seat/maybe harness and half-decent tyres instead of the kingstar/GT radial combination that was on the 15"s when I got them

Look forward to comparing new cars at a meet sometime soon and I wouldn't mind a quick pax ride as I've always been interested in a '5
You coming to Curborough tomorrow? OR White Hart on Tuesday? It's totally standard ATM, as I can't start anything until these bloody wheel nuts turn up

Hi Matt,Matt
Thanks!! Yep still got it for time being (is on ebay lol but don't think it will meet reserve don't really care if I'm honest!)
Sprayed wing mirrors gloss black to go with the wheels and if I keep it I'm still yet to put my little front lip spoiler on.
You got a car yet?
Hope to see you at a meet soon!!!
