Hey,

Well the Dolomite went on me again a few weeks ago so it began the hunt for a new car, my milage has increased a bit too so needed something a little less thirsty (got 20mpg on vpower in the Dolly).

So here it is. :D

Tis a JDM 1.8 Eunos.

If anyones interested with the level of equipment its got, it has:

Electric windows
Electric mirrors
Air conditioning
Headrest speakers
LSD

Also its had a few modifications done to it, originally the mk1 came with 14" alloys, whereas this one has 15" Oz racing ones. Lowered too which makes it look much better, it also has rectangular headlights which I am not too keen on. I plan to change that back to standard as the amount of light they produce is useless. Not too keen on the gearknob and handbrake cover but all I need to do is goto a scrappy and get some off another Mx5 to go back to stock. Plus it has EBC greenstuff pads alround to help it stop.

Loving it so far though. :D Especially the LSD + wet wide open space.
 
Looks really good, lowering and nice wheels help these so much.

What happened to the dolly then? I thought you totally loved that thing.
 
Very nice, I like :)

Really tempted by these but it all depends on where I can get a new job and what the commute's like :( Although I suppose 20miles of a-roads wouldn't be too bad in one...
 
Lovely looking little thing.

for a gayer

:p

Nah, only joking - really nice looking bit of kit in a nice subtle colour.

Love the interior, it's like an early Viper scaled down :D

Love the simplicity of the whole thing too. Very good :)
 
tyte... yo.

nice car, not sure on the colour of the wheels though. they just look mucky.
 
If your set on being a hairdresser why are you waisting all your time coming to lectures with me? ;)

Thanks for the comments guys. :)

Yeah with the alloys, you can't see it in the pics but they need a refurb, not sure whether I will change the colour when I do.
 
The passenger door tweeter grille is missing!

Anyway, looks very nice. I haven't seen any decent, subtle-looking MX-5s for a while. Yours is a good 'un. :cool:
 
Set me back £2500 for it. Certainly is good fun to drive. :D Just need more grip now as the Pirelli P700's don't seem the best.

danza , Unfortunately so. :( Not sure what to do about this yet.

I think that's a good buy. That's a sought after colour. I saw it advertised for £3000-£3500 something like that ? last year.
