It's a UK 1.8, I was told the 1.8 was the one to go for because it has some additional bracing and bigger brakes. No power steering, abs or electric windows so back to basics.
I can let you know what I think of the meisters but as they came fitted with the car I won't have anything to compare it to. Plenty of good reviews on mx5nutz.
First on the list is a proper roll bar rather than the style bar that's currently fitted and I'm on the look out for buckets/ harnesses and some 15" wheels as there seems to be a better choice of tyres available.
But other than that I'm hoping to not really do much to it (famous last words!)
