MX5 Owners in here....bring your curling tongs

[Firestar_3x]

I miss my 5, it really was something special once i'd finished with it

My MK2.5 Phoenix. The photos are quite old, the paint job needs fixing, and the alloys could now use a refurb.

 

[Ezah]

is that Hethel LordRobs? I used to work there many many years ago

Here is my Mk2.5 1.8 w/ Azure Blue Cloth package. which was an option on US cars in 2004 and consisted of:
Blue cloth trimmed upholstery and door inserts, 16-inch titanium-colored alloy wheels, black leather-wrapped shift knob with silver stitching, all Convenience Package items (only available with Sunlight Silver)

I am currently ordering various interior and exterior bits (including MSM) to get the project started.

I think its the only 2.5 in the UAE.

Had my 1.6 NA since the end of August 2011 & been using it as my daily driver ever since. If you exclude a dead battery it's never let me down (mechanically at least). It recently had a mass of bodywork done, both rear quarters were replaced along with sills. Modification wise it's all pretty standard, fitted an MX-5 Parts cat back at the start of the year & an Apexi induction kit. The shocks were rather tired when I bought it so they were all replaced with units from a MK2.5 SVT along with new ARB links. Ideally I want to keep it as close to as Mazda intended as possible and my only other plans are to get a nice set of white Enkie 5 spokes (see Vigoro's post) along with a style bar for a little bit of bling.

Probably my favourite shot:

new one, mk3.5 2L sport tech coupe, stock:

and the old one, mk2 1.8L Jasper Conran Platinum edition, a few minor mods like braces and wheels but sold off a good while back

Might have to swap the current one in for a mk1 (and an estate) at some point, but probably not till I've got a garage...

Pilot Exalto PE2 I think is the ultimate answer for premium tyres on 15" wheels for MX5's, thoughts before I pull the trigger? I am a little concerned they are so old, coming out OEM on the Clio 182.

 

[kieranv]

I no longer own one. Had a Mk1 Eunos last year, enjoyed it but don't really miss it.

Went from this :

To this

And then back to this

 

[lordrobs]

is that Hethel LordRobs? I used to work there many many years ago

Sure is. I live just up the road in Mulbarton and used to work at Hethel Engineering Centre before getting shipped out to a training centre in Gorleston

 

[hummingman]

Any excuse to show pics.
I didn't like the NC when it first cam out but it's definitely growing on me.

[hurfdurf]

Keep telling yourself that!

 

[Yaayuh!]

Lol

Brilliant.
Must repost this to every MX5 post outside of this thread.

 

[4T5]

Sold mine a few weeks back, Loved it & miss it.

 

[Conscript]

Why did you sell? You didn't have it that long did you?

 

[4T5]

Had it 6 months, Sold because of personal reasons.

Without doubt the best cheap car I've ever owned & Trust me I've owned a lot of motors.
