My MX-5

[Howard-]

Took some fancy updated pics yesterday now that I've got my new suspension sorted, thought I'd share!

Looks very tidy and shiny. Is it me or is the nosecone around the front lights a different shade of red?

[Strangely Brown]

It's red. The rest of the car has faded.

Either that or vice-versa, yes

[Evangelion]

To my eyes the nosecone, bonnet and headlamp covers all look slightly darker than the rest. (Nosecone on mine is slightly different too. Is it because of the different material?)

So what did you do with the suspension?

[Howard-]

I'm planning on having the bonnet (and lights) and both bumpers painted at some point

I have fitted Performance5 Sportdrive suspension

Nice car BUT...it's not raining in the pics so what is the roof doing up?

Actually it was raining quite a lot during my outing, you can see the clouds Sunshine one minute, rain the next

No excuse, as a member of the convertible police, the only excuse for driving with the roof up is torrential rain, or hail. Lovely car though. =D

What are the wheels, I've always admired those on MX5s but never found out what they are. Oh and please stop posting pictures, every time I see a Mk1 now I want one even more. I can't bloody afford it at the minute

They are Enkeis, off a rare JDM special edition of the mk2 1.6. Quite rare I believe, but good wheels, nice and light

They look very similar to these, only in white.

Enkeis yes, but I don't think are from a Limited edition. There was a plethora of them available a couple of years ago, mostly from eBay.

Makes the BNIB set I bought for my MR2 really rare then. Shame I sold them...

Seriously though, there were absolutely shed loads of them available. Not to say yours aren't from that LE though, of course.

Why the hell is that site hosted by my university?!?!?!

I'm sure i would have noticed a V8 MX5 cruising round campus...I know there's a TVR about, but no burbling MX5s...

Maybe as you may be conversing with people who have access to Sussex machines... We have eyes and ears everywhere.

(and that Miata was in California)
