Default MX-5 RF

Looks pretty good to me. Shame they can't up the power a bit to say 200ish bhp!

Love new mx5.Two serious rules for me though...

1.Its not a sports car when it has a tin top

2.Roof should be a hand throw off job with no auto assistance.

Basics are everything.to meCar meant to be a cracker though....

I've got an MX5 and its overriding feature is its weedy engine. The new version doesn't address this unfortunately, as stated earlier it needs at least 200bhp to make it truly sporty but is stuck with around 160 even in the 2ltr version.

Nice motor. I've got a little modded z3 2.2 tucked away that I might replace at some point. S2000, Boxster, MX-5 etc.





I've some nice Style 5 BBS rims to go on at some point. 78k on a 15 year old car.

Hopefully having a new roof and a little bit of paint to compliment the wheels when they go on so will be looking mint (stone chips mainly). The koni FSDs and Eibachs make for a lovely ride. I doubt I will replace it to be honest, it never misses a beat. I've some more pics on my pc that I'll put up if you'd like. Happy Easter, Lawrence.
