Postby Oscar B » Fri Jun 18, 2010 4:45 am

Hi all mx5 owners and enthusiasts

It 's Oscar ( a few of you have met me before because of buying and selling)
I 've been driving this mx5 for month and a half now and yes,i m still a mx5 noob who know nothing about this car :oops:

here is what it looked like when I bought it on 1st of May

and after 2 weeks

and Recently

I couldn't resist to buy stuff for her and now I m broke

What I bought...

1.) rims from jdmyard -on the car
2.) Nardi 330mm Classic -on the car
3.) Sparco Sprint Junior -on the car
4.) Tokico Shocks and Tokico Springs -on the car
5.) Alarm -on the car
6.) put dark tints on -on the car
7.) mazdaspeed catback -not yet
8.) Garage Vary front lip -not yet
9.) EBC front and rear brake pads -on the car

it is always not enough..
still saving up for Roll bar,replace clutch,as well as a Major service like changing timing belts...

seems a money hole for me but well
I love driving it because it gave me so much fun!
Looking forward for some skid pans then may be trackdays in the future with you guys!


Cheers
Oscar

Always want a Roll bar...but seems only brown davis are good?
what about the cusco one of other member selling
would it be safe if having accident?
or its just a style bar?

after roll bar,will have to make big decision...to going 6speed gear box or not
since gotta change clutch,and the labour is the same as swapping gearbox,
and will do a major service with clutch together...big money need to spend!

Personally I'd only consider the Brown Davis or MX5 Plus, or some of the american ones like Boss Frog (but the cost to get them here would be abhorrent) - or something custom.

love driving this little car,since it has power steering and aircon,can be my daily as well!

The roll bar choice is something I'm going through at the moment too. Brown Davis and MX5 Plus are the two obvious contenders but each have their flaws. I know that I'm no nearer to a decision than when I started.

Just wondering,both two have to drill holes to fit in right?

i'd be very concerned about buying a roll bar that didn't require drilling into the chassis :shock:
