Bitchin' 1992 MX5

[lewismonteith]

After owning several complete shit tip Saxo's and an even worse 106 I bought something that was less likely to shed body panels. I ended up buying this from an older guy who owned it from new, I could see a tear in his eye when I arrived in the Saxo. His assumptions were probably right, it's no longer a purist hairdresser car but in my defence it's not completely molested.

Here's the spec:

1992 MX5 Special Edition (Only 200 made)
82000 miles
ABS/electric windows/power steering
1.6L DOHC 16v 115bhp
Matching factory hardtop
Full Mazda service history
Sexy tan leather interior
Rota Grid Drift Cup 15x8
Falken ze914 all round
Mk2 Raceland coilovers with uprated top mounts and bumpstops
OEM front strut brace
OEM lower rear brace
MX5Parts stainless cat back exhaust
Magnecor 8mm competition HT leads
Offset front number plate
GV style front lip
A/C and carbon canister delete

A picture the day I got it with my cut'n'shut VTR:

How she sits now:

So the plans:

Get the hardtop resprayed
Fit some mk2.5 brakes
Turbo with the hope for 200bhp

What special edition is it? Never known one that rare.

Looks a smart base, I'd whack a eunos rear panel on it and some better coilies but it's a great base.

Like the alloys and hardtop.

I've developed a soft spot for these mk1's!

It's an SE, one of the UK models. Here's a link: http://www.mx5-mazda.co.uk/se1.htm

A eunos panel would be nice, as well as removing the horrid fog light

Thanks! They're very fun cars
