Hi,

Im new to the mx5 scene, never in years had I ever thought of getting one, especially as only just selling my Integra DC5. So back to hopefully research and research!

I was originally planning on a 350Z but after speaking to a mate who's also getting a mk1 1.6 he's persuaded me to get an mx5 so you can thank him . I've narrowed it down to either a 1.8 mk1 or mk2 eunos/import if you can call them that. Looking to drift in one to learn etc

That one is a great deal TBH, especially when you start to learn what the second hand parts alone retail for on here: LSD: £300, 6 Speed box: £300, then there's the little things like the Nardi wheel: £70..

Starts to look like a great deal doesn't it! I was tempted with it myself just for the parts!

I'm trying to get more info on that as its lacking on wiki about the RS edition, he's not responded to me about the sills and stuff, so might try and give him a shout tomorrow as really keen to get that one.

No. I demand more. That looks awesome! Not very often you see Boosts on them, and it works well... Anything else done to it?
