Gudzy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Picked this mk1 mx5 up a couple of weekends ago with the intention of doing a few track days in it. I'm booked on to go to Cadwell park on the 17th March for my birthday. Pictures taken on a much nicer day than today... I might even be able to make Dan jealous with a full set of Toyo R888s on the black alloys pictured and a spare matching set of michelin tyres on the original wheels! It also came with a set of Meister R coilovers which have had a hunter alignment so hopefully it should be good on track, I imagine it will be more capable than I am!

rabbitstew Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Been toying with the idea of getting one of these myself for summer fun as you can pick the early ones up for just a few hundred quid now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ooh, let me know how the Meister Rs are, I'm considering a set for mine this summer 1.6 or 1.8? Get those seats out, some buckets in and sort yourself a harness bar & harnesses, transformed mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 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!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
