About a tonne if not just shy of. With me in it, 5 tonnes.

(Seriously though I added to a 1/10th of it's mass

). Got a 5.48 to 60mph recorded, but with the new clutch managed a 5.2 never got it recorded though

by the way how did you manage to fit in it?

I'm asking because I'm fairly close to you height and weight wise and when I walked closely past a mx5 a couple of days ago it didn't like like I could fit in. :d

Freefaller · 24 Feb 2011 at 19:34

It was snug!

Leg room was fine - but my shoulders touched the door frame and the passenger seat.

OK so lately I've been a bit more motivated to do some bits and pieces, more updates will follow shortly, but in the mean time..

HELP ME DECIDE!

or

or

OTHER??

Leaning towards black or red, and I'm half tempted to replace the blue hoses...

ScoobyDoo69 · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:31

Red, but only if you change your hoses to red too..

Witor · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:32

Quite like the red tbh...

Howard · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:34

I think I need to start measuring hoses.. Haha

Fr0dders · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:34

for the red one, photoshop the blue hoses red and see what that looks like. I've got a feeling it might be a bit too much.

Howard · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:37

I'll (well a friend of mine will, I suck at that aspect of Photoshopping) give it a go, good idea. The colour is totally undecided yet, but I'm going to be re-furbing the cam cover as I change the gasket so I was just pondering what colour to paint it

ScoobyDoo69 · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:39

Definitely need to change your radiator hose if you do go all red too.

Howard · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:40

Bear in mind the colours won't be so 'intense' in real life as those photoshops

Howard · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:48

ScoobyDoo69 · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:49

Black looks nice, if a bit stealth. Not blingy enough for me

Red

One of those 2

can't decide personally. I think the all blue just wins it.

grudas · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:52

red.. fits very well

ScoobyDoo69 · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:53

I think the blue looks a bit gash personally. I nearly said it clashes with the red of the car, but then I realised I have a blue car with all red hoses, inlet, pipes etc.

Red!

Howard · 5 Apr 2011 at 18:54

Yeah I'm not a fan of the blue tbh!

fonzee · 5 Apr 2011 at 20:06

red fo' def.

Crizzy · 5 Apr 2011 at 20:59

The red reminds me of a vtec engine, what about a gun metal colour?

Edit: On second thought the red looks pretty decent

agw_01 · 5 Apr 2011 at 21:29

Blue tbh
