This is my third R53,my first was a JCW Cooper S which was horribly unreliable.
My first GP was brilliant, I used it everyday. This one has been fine but I’ve only had it three months and done a few hundred miles. It only comes out on sunny days.
This week it’s getting an alloy flywheel, uprated clutch, rear main oil seal, polybushes on the front lower arms, upper top mount, 15% supercharger pulley, spark plugs, uprated rear camber arms and coilovers. Ouch ha-ha!

Lol so you're on your second GP. Like me!
I can't get enough of it.
Who'll be doing the work on the car. You or an indi?
I don’t mind doing a few jobs but I would rather just trust it to someone else these days I can’t be arsed with the frustration of it all. Sussex Road and Race are doing it for me, they did all the work on my previous GP - great bunch!
I keep thinking the same. I'd also miss the luxury although do like the leather dash!
Yeah I've heard of them. Had reviewed their site over the weekend. If I still lived in London. I'd definitely be paying them a visit.
I must admit, so was I after seeing that picture.
Hah, I don't wash it. It's a dog carrying road warrior, I gave up keeping it nice years ago and yeah, can't be bothered removing the tax disc. Had it 4.5 years now and it's done 137k.
Looked at those CX-5s for my mum, seem to be a well received car but she opted for a CRV SR in the end.

Ooh, like a bit of Laguna blue. Needs a polyurethane GV lip and some Meister-Rs.
Love the wheels, 15x8s with 215 tyres on? Along with coilovers and a fast-road setup the handling was just smile-inducing every day. Mine had a TorSen though, does yours?
Miss mine sooooo much.
lip is coming! I think they look very "empty" without it
it has flyin miata vmaxx fully adjustable suspension already, including roll bars, chassis bracing, torsen lsd etc - it's an S-special so comes with a few nice bits.
15x8 et20, 195's as arches are not rolled so wanted to have more space to play with.
it's a lot of fun, I am genuinely enjoying it
Needs lowering a bit more lad.
yeah, will go down a bit
all I can say is seized coilovers suck.yeah, will go down a bit
Ambersil penetrating oil. Great stuff.
Bathe the buggers in it!
