Looking good! Love the colour, and considering its roller painted it looks great

+1 to this. I prefer the gray colour to Matts confused purple/blue

 

[Matt]

Unfortunately not, mine is still in bits and Elly is waiting for insurance to update. On top of that Elly is in London for Shine Saturday night/Sunday morning and then we might be going to modified live on Sunday. Busy times lol.

Matching grey for a his and hers drift team

 

[Matt]

Haha considered that but matching bumpers is enough...

 

[waitey]

Just wait til you both start tandeming

 

[LCplParks]

This has just confirmed my plans of getting me an mx haha looks awesome Elly!

 

[Elly]

A few updates...

The welded diff is now fitted and i have stolen matt's bucket seat and harness ready for santa pod.

I bought some moss europe tsi's (turn signal intakes) which replace those ugly orange indicator/sidelights.

I've never liked the frog eye headlights so i got a set of low profile headlights which cost me £250 :crazy: . They give him a more aggressive look.

Matt is a little jealous of my car now :twisted:. Me and matt be will off to santapod on saturday so he can teach me how do drift hopefully. I will update you on how i get on.

A colleague of mine sells MX5's kinda as a hobby. He used to do buggy's as well.

He has this Sunny Yellow Limited Edition for sale. It looks absolutely awesome that I'd almost buy it.

Yours is looking pretty good too :-D

 

[Matt]

California model? Pretty rare and when they're cleaned up they look awesome

 

[DanPaul7]

That's quite good looking. I have wanted to do a drift MX5 for years but I would want it as a daily too and insurance would have cost too much. I think in January when I get 5 years no claims I will start hunting a decent one down
Have you had a chance to try drifting it yet?

Im paying £160 a month, all mods declared and 0 no claims. The imports are more expensive to buy and insure. Winter is the best time to get one as nobody wants them so they are really cheap.

I've only done a few donuts at santa pod so not done much but its fun and is surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it.

That's quite a lot :shock: I hope it's not that much for me as i'm only paying about 300 for the Twingo and i'm a tight git so don't fancy paying too much more :lol:
Could always get a UK standard model though I suppose, or are they not as good for some reason?

 

[Matt]

Late UK 1.6 models have less power (90bhp) whereas all import 1.6 models are the higher 115bhp. The imports are speed limited but that is removed by changing to UK clocks... Easy stuff.

My twingo insurance is around £300 and I pay around £550 to insure mine fully declared with a hell of a lot of modifications including a turbocharger. That should give you a nice idea of how much a modified one will cost you

 

[DanPaul7]

Can't go wrong with that really! Just been payed too... time to start looking

 

[Elly]

I finally got my vented bonnet back off Matt, so I gave it quick coat of battleship grey. It finishes the front end off nicely so now I need to start on the rear.

I left him out on the road one night without thinking, I came out the next morning to find he was pretty much touching the speed bump whoops!

One of my low pro lights decided it was going to break on my way home :x. The end of the pivot arm has a ball joint that connects it to motor, fortunately I had the next day off so I took it apart and waited for Matt to come home and weld it for me

I get paid soon so I will be sorting the rest of the car out ready for show season next year. Matt is ordering new wheels for his so I will be getting my xxr's back next month :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[lgonzalez]

I like the bonnet, looks great!

I think you will need to be carefull when parking nose in to a kerb... Infact, just carefull :?

 

[Matt]

Haha too late for that

"... Yeah, stop... stop... *CRUNCH*... Oh..."

You'd be surprised how flexible these fibreglass front ends are!

 

[singlespeed]

Oh no. Inevitable really, but still a bit of a sickening
