Even before i had a license ive always wanted an Mx5. Well some 18 years on and my dream has been fulfilled. My search started several months ago and my wish was to find one in mint, stock condition.
A huge amount of the credit goes to the previous owner who has cared for this car for 20 years. Its only done alittle over 100,000k's and came with a folder with receipts for every related purchase and service in chronological order.
The intent is to keep this for as long as possible, hopefully 20 years or more and to keep it as stock as possible.
The changes ive made sofar are:
- New OEM spark plug leads
- iPhone FM modulator (hardwired) into the stock radio. Ive posted details of this in the audio thread.
- Speakers replaced (as the originals had turned to dust)
- Hardtop locking plates replaced
- Crystal clear headlights with Philips xtreme vision bulbs (The stock units are just too dim)
- K&N filter element
There's a sports exhaust which id like to replace with a stock unit but they appear to be hard to find! ideal would be new (is this possible) or a used one in good condition....
Here are some pics, enjoy!
