so today gave it a look over... seems ok... shell is solid... engine runs sweet and pulls pretty good :) gonna replace all the fluids in it sometime next week (what i do with every car i get for piece of mind that they are done...

really impressed with the exhaust, looks well made and sounds sweet. nice and subtle :)

First thing was to remove the massive driftworks stickers!! :ghey:... and had an idea for transporting some tyres to a drift day for her... as, without taking the passengers seat out you could get all of what... one in there :wack:

looks cool :)

Im interested in the boot rack - is it '5 specific, or are there universal boot racks or something that you could do the same thing with an s14?

:thumbs: dont recommend you buying one in the summer thou :wack: was easy yo get the price done on this due to the limited market... satin black rattle canned... and the fact the complete soft top stuff has been removed.... makes it a bit lighter thou i suppose as i dont think the metal frames are all that light for the canopy?


looks cool :)

got it from a car boot sale a few quid about 2 months back... looked similar to my s14 one... was meant for a mates s14... but wasnt wide enough :( with pot luck it fitted the 5 about right :D

It looks to be a '5 specific rack - mate had one, good for carrying a bit of luggage around on

Not surprised to see this happen, your wifey always seemed keen for drifting since shes always in your car for DWYB days!

If the paint is just a rattle can job, couldn't you just wipe it off with some thinners on a rag to uncover the original paint?

Had to do a bit of work to make it fit so don't think it is?

If I'm right about this, the guy who sprayed it is a ****ing plank.....

I know you like selling all the tarty bits off cars, those mirrors look like m2 runabouts which i believe only came in a metal finish. Name should be etched on top of them if they are and PM me with regard to what they're worth ;)

Cheers for the heads up... anything i need to be checking then before i let my missus loose in it :wack:

Spoke with Hannah, she's not a fan of the mirrors as you cant see a lot out of them... would rather like to know what they are worth ;)

cheers Tweeks, it seem a good starter... bloody scary just how fast you can push it through the twisty back roads :eek:

2k is still available... easily in fact off ebay as fair as i was aware...

im not gonna change it thou, i can image this getting a few scratches!


im not really a fan of mx5s but that is a nice one, good work

Cheers Freg, to be fair i wasnt... but seriously, they are a FUN car to drive :nod:

I could almost say if i was to give up drifting and wanted a fun, cheap road car, i probably would get one myself :o would have to be a hardtop thou :p
