Not this one though but I'll tell you what does have a rotary in, my Rx7. I don't need this to have one." Aww yip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakotom Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeah this is rad. Mate had a full caged race car spec one. Was 1.8 with ITBs which was a hoot to drive, then he turboed it and it was dumb scary. Mx5 is on my list of cars to own one day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some old semi slicks on mine and can really throw it into corners. Mine has a manual steering rack and it gives you so much feedback. Loves to rev, lacks tops end but between 4500 and 6000rpm it feels good. I drove an auto 2010 Suzuki swift yesterday and it was fcking awful (terrible drivers position, ridiculously gutless and the steering...fcking hell its terrible, like the steering is made of loose rubber bands), made the mx5 feel like a drivers dream. I have been tossing up whether I will keep the mx5 or the aw11 I am fixing up for fun daily and I think I will keep the mx5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kyteler Posted July 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 I had hoped to work on this, this weekend but I got called in to work both days and managed to somehow do a number on a muscle in my right shoulder. As if life wasn't painful enough without adding a physical component to it. Have these instead. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 The weather is not looking good for getting the clutch done but oh well, I drowned my sorrows in more purchasing. Garage Vary lip and rear panel will be coming in the next stacked container (along with a rear seat for the Gloria) and some lights that I am hoping to make work with that panel will be enroute shortly also. The remainder of the main haul of parts arrived also. Filters, belts, wanker blades, flywheel. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transom Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Oh you are going for the full fanboi kit ?

Got some 15x8s to go with that lol I do like the rocket bunny spoiler but always thought the garage vary tail lights look straight out of the narva trailer catalogue The Vary lights are supposed to be Mazda Porter Cab lamps how ever, they are NLA and the ones people have made to replace or even ones that people sell second hand, are 300USD. Fuck that. Whilst I was in Japan I saw a few Kei cars and trucks and one appealed enough that I looked it up and took a screen grab to preserve the memory. I've now used that to buy some lamps from it and I'm hopeful that they are the right size or at least close enough to work. Fingers crossed because it's far cheaper and will look more fitting with the car, imo. Want a largish ducktail spoiler but I've only seen one that does what I want but still isn't quite right so I may have to bodge something else together myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 I'd love to put some wide 13 or 14" RS Wats on but then I'd need to do a whole bunch of other shit. Way lower, widebody, etc. Can't be fucked.. ..yet anyway. Once all this shit comes good the hardtop is the only other important thing for the short term.
