Feck me, that's tempting - but the mods would upset my insurers. Wrong colour also, but cracking spec. :norty:

Hopefully I will be joining you in MX ownership in the next 8 weeks.
Looking for a 1.8 with a budget of £6500.Looks like it will get me a decent(I think) 98 onwards car.Never even driven one yet! Been checking out Paul Sheard.Anyone know of them?Seem to be some nice cars Paul Sheard Autos, mazda mx-5 specialist, used & import mazda mx-5 cars for sale |
Can only add to the chorus of happy MX5 drivers.
I've got a Mk2 1.8iS, in Red, Factory fit bodykit with Hardtop, in Red. Some kindly person had also fitted a Jackson Racing Exhaust Manifold, Sports cat, Jackson Racing backbox + Pipercross Induction kit.. It is zippy, nimble and a joy to drive!! Makes a nice noise now too! ;) Only problems I've had is with a ABS Sensor go. Other than that, faultless - even after a month of standing still whilst out in OZ. Best car I've had, not as fast as my old Legacy but telepathic steering and RWD fun makes up for it. Do it, you'll not regret it!!! BTW - I'm 6ft 6 and j-u-s-t fit.... |
TBH it is a female car - Can you live with that?
If not I would go for an MR2 later ones are probably a better drive and much more masculine. I just hope you dont ever travel with luggage. |

. My Skoda Octavia vRS is brilliant,allegedly does nigh on 150 mph,must be classed as a 'mans' car but I'm b. o. r. e .d:D . Roofless motoring in a little sports car is more fun than zooming around in a four door saloon car not 'feeling'speed and having to check the speedo to confirm you are going quickly:) |
I've had mine for loner than I can remember and don't ever intend to sell it. I bought my scoob as a second car as I didn't want to use the 5 as a daily driver and wreck it. Apparently thats the wrong way around :wonder:
Mine's a Mark 1, but its the same idea. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...s/DSC01762.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...s/Image070.jpg Dark Blue is definitely the way forward. Mine's Satellite Blue. |

I am only relaying a common perception and the fact all mark 2 MX5s i see are driven by females. Please dont shoot the messenger. :D
Personally I much prefer the looks of the Mark 1 MX5. |

Personally I much prefer the looks of the Mark 1 MX5. As for luggage space, there’s plenty for a weekend away. I would have thought the MR2 has even less. Allan |
Anyone driven 1.6 and 1.8?
Is there a huge difference? |

Is there a huge difference? On the earlier MK1's the output on the 1.6 compared to the 1.8's wasn't that much (115bhp vs 130bhp I think) - but the later UK Spec 1.6's were de-tuned or just had a lower 90bhp output, which is a bit low. The Mk2 / 2.5's are heavier, and have 1.6 pushing about 110bhp, and 1.8 at about 140 bhp (2.5 have 146 I think...) I'm no expert - go to MX5OC forum, loads of people with the right info there. With the MX it's not all about the power (which you can have via a supercharger or Turbo for about 2K+) it's more about the handling, drivability and general "fun factor". Test drive a few, see what you think, and buy the one which gives you the most smiles!!! |
