I had one of these (actually I have had several!) but the last one I had was the most memorable. Magenta in colour, I removed the horrible 8V twin cam and repowered it with a YB Cosworth, put the Cossie suspension in, with Escort Cosworth wheels. Boost turned up a bit, it was pretty badass.   :) 

I immediately thought of PLAYLD, which had the YB in it and the mahoosive stereo and TVs and everything, back in the glory days of 4 n Rotary.

yep mine was the same colour, same engine etc as that one. But none of the sound equipment!  I did the YB conversion on that wagon too, I had forgotten about it to be honest!

I had an xr4x4, it was pretty rad.

There was a free mk1 estate on fb a couple of days ago...

Theres one on the Tard at the mo, but slightly out of my league....still tempting to drop the running gear into the Estate though.

The torque split thing was great, you could hang the arse out really easily but it never felt like it would throw you.

No, seriously outbid in my current state of OS poverty.

And I agree about the paint.  I dont even think thats a real colour.

A quick google shows a lot of MX-5 love for them....
