it will suit you too

wonder if they gonna stick my question up?

RichardPON

Dan - you ever driven one?

Still, if we're sticking to the image thing, then driving a clapped out 3dr must mean you're some kind of council estate pikey

no i aint driven one, but the missus mates got one and she said i can have a go, just never took her up on the offer

lol true about the 3 door, but when it comes out from having the cage done its going straight in to get painted so will look a tad better with the 500 kit on it too

or on PONs driveway

I'd have an MX5 sure, but certainly not that one.

Since this post was to point out the folly of poor visual modification, and I certainly have no history of that, then your comments are a little off the mark.

Honestly... kids

Girlfriend has an MX5 and it drives better than any std cossie, even ones with koni`s Seriously all this car lacks is more power, spend Ł2000 on the HKS turbo kit and its bye bye cossie. Imagine 300bhp in one of those cars, no weight at all in them.

rich, you take the piss more than anyone on here,,, ok except mike, but once someone returns the favour the toy fall out the pram

anyway, yeah some of em do look ok, like the newer ones. but not driven one so cant comment on how they go etc.

RichardPON

What toys?

Get back to your "track weapon"

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

the ones on the floor

and as for "track weapon" not quite - it being built on fuck all budget and whatever i can blag

so no fancy adjustable rear beam/front end so good handling is out the question

its being built for

a. FUN
b. show car for the FF stand
c. general abuse
d. more fun

I think a proper hard topped mx5 could be pretty cool. as long as it wasnt a removable jobby.

Supposed to be one of the most well balanced cars on the market apparently.
