Hey!
right some of you may know.
The saxo came to an end in my ownership today! after nearly 2 years..
in that time a managed a fastcar feature, and 12 sets of wheels!
iv wanted something new for my next car!! not french, or german for that matter..
Jap it was! had to be import & RWD
SO after searching the net, i came across my mate nath Howell's eunos roadster! with all the choice mods done! its a minterrr!! perfect for what i wanted! so after a few words! we decided to px!
he is now the owner of my beloved saxo! and im now The proud owner of his MX! so far after the drive home! i love it!! without sounding all hippy! with the wind in my hair shit! its awesome with the roof down!
I know im not the only Mx owner on here! But i am new to all this Jap stuff!
like i said it already has the main bits done, coilovers/rotas/momo team/splitter.. etc
iv got some future plans atm! but nothing to crazy! just wanna enjoy it!
heres some snaps from the web! ill grab my own tomorrow once iv cleaned it..again!
C&C Sorry its long ting!!

Looks nice for such an old car - H is 1990 isn't it? must be nearly as old as you ;)
Difficult to put ur own stamp on something that looks done/complete or u just gonna enjoy this one?
Lewis
25th April 2011, 21:57
Stance is perfect in those snaps, great car, its the 1.6 N/A I assume? IMO i would have just went for an S body but these little things are a good laugh
LSOfreak
25th April 2011, 23:50
does that windscreen sticker get annoying? lol
seeing this mx5, and realising how much a convertible is needed in weather like this really makes me want one. Only problem is that its a 2 seater though :S

26th April 2011, 00:07
this makes my love for mk1 mx-5s stronger, this is beautiful :) nice purchase and just in time for the beautiful weather ;)

Looks real nice mate. Is your mate a member on here? Is he doing anything to your saxo or keeping it as it was? Shame to see it go really, it's a lovely car.

Wheels are mint. Stance is way hellaflush unlike the saxo was. Same wheels what you were putting on your saxo just with bigger dish. Can't think what they are called :|
personally I would never camber my cars but on jap it's awesome. That pic from behind is nothing more than sexy :y:
HOPE YOUR CHANGING THE COLOUR!!!

The chassis rails and stuff underneath aren't far off being as low as the splitter itself, if not lower. So yeah, the whole car is really low.
