Three years ago almost to the day I bought a nb 1.6 California Aka California Dreamin' or Cali for short. This is the story from then to now as I try and improve her with no budget and absolutely no experience working on cars whatsoever. Cali was purchased from a dealer in Rhos on Sea in...

Hi guys, With deep regret I've accepted fate and need to sell on my Mk1 Import. I've probably gone into far too much detail but at least the advert is complete. If your interested in a decent project, get yourself a cuppa and give the ebay advert a read. I'm well aware the asking price is a...

An RS ltd which runs but needs some TLC 108,000 kilometers Needs seats and 15 BBS if to be 'standard' but all the other RS remain. Some history and low mileage. Currently garaged. This project needs to go so I can make space for other toys. I have it on car and classics and am open to...

Hi guys, I am looking into purchasing a MK1 MX5 as my first project car. I have been reading through a lot of projects on this site over the last few weeks and I've been loving what I've saw so far. Today I thought I would register an account and get peoples advise. What do I need to look for...

Hey guys, this is my third post on the forum. Bit more info about old rusty I bought for around £440! It's a 1995 Mark 1 in British Racing Green, definitely a work in progress! She looks a little worse for wear, but I hope to fix her up over the coming months and then onto some mods! As soon...

Greetings mx5nutz, long time no see ! This forum beeing a place for everything related to the mx5 world, I guess this topic will fit. If it doesn't, throw it into the fire :stirthepot: I wanted to share with you a project that has been started with my wife in september 2011. We've been into...

Hi all, Will be using this to mainly keep a track of things I do to my new toy. Had the car for over a month now and it's my second car, I have a Yaris T Sport as my daily. This is how it looked when I first got it, after a good clean of course! I'm not massively comfortable doing...

Just introducing myself, my name is Paul, and last week I bought my first MX5. It is a Mk.2 1998 1.8. The plan is to turn it into a track car, as my current daily is a Honda Civic FN2 Type R and I cant bring myself to take it to the track. Just going to create a progress thread, as I have...

So this mx5 story started about a year or so ago where i bought a mk1 which needless to say was an absolute bag of poop. i had started to put alot of effort into rebuilding the damn thing to its former glory but needless to say i sadly lost interest and decided to leave this one on its stilts in...

So who wants to watch some kid turn a stanced mx5 with stretched tyres and gay exhaust into an sr20 powered track animal over the next year or so? If so, this is the thread for you. Get ready to watch stuff blow up... Stay tuned.

Hello there Nutz, this is my first thread on the forums and I'm going to share with you the progression on my first MX-5 which is currently ongoing. Any questions - just ask! -- In March this year I bought a friend's 2002 MX-5 (NB). It had about 110k miles on the clock. The sills had been...

Hi all! One of my first posts here and I finally have found my mx5. Having searched for a fair few weeks for a black mk1 I found one at a decent price on Gumtree some 60 miles away and rushed off to see it. Body work itself was solid with only a few parking dings (I hate that word) and months...

Hi All, Currently looking at buying a project car for track/road. Want something really cheap to be honest, don't mind if it needs a little work or is rough around the edges. Prefereably a 1.8 but 1.6 will also be fine. Somewhere in Hampshire and idealy close to Basingstoke. Long shot i know...

Hey there guys, As of last saturday i am now a proud owner of a 1993 Eunos roadster :) After wanting one for ages but never quite getting there - usually other thing would coming up that require money or the good ones were miles away! About 3 weeks ago my dad spotted one, only a few miles away...

Hi all, Recently brought my 1st Eunos a couple weekends ago and I want to change the interior, there is nothing wrong with it minus a couple of wear and tear marks, but as well know we like our cars to be unique and look good to us. I'm don't want the interior to be to much but I do want it to...

Hi all, So last week I just picked up my 1992 Mazda Mx5 for £600. The car seems to be rust free and bodywork is pretty good, the drivers window got stuck half way down but no more than a 20 minute job. Also the brakes need replacing as they do nothing and needs new exhaust as blowing from the...
