Anyway, it's not an MX-5, it's a Eunos. Fun with the roof down, but hard work on a cold and wet day. Enjoy...

I'm not a big fan of MX5's, but I bet you'll have lots of RWD fun over the autumn/winter months!

i used to have a mx5 (eunos roadster) a few years ago brilliant fun, just like a go kart.

if its still limited to 110mph its easy to de-restrict, take the clocks out (be very careful of the outer cowling they are easy to snap) and on the back of the clock is a screw marked 110 just take it out. job done.

also very easy to de-cat, don't bother with a replacement pipe just take off the cat and bash the middle out with a long pole.

did loads to mine until i sold it due to never using it, have fun.
