  • Yet another Mazda

    I have had my mx-5 for almost a year now, I bought it when I was 19, due to high insurance costs and low income its not a baller, swag, sick JDM build yo! Just what I can afford to do.

    The car is an imported Mazda Eunos Roadster S-Limited which comes with LSD, front strut brace, Bilstein shocks, a/c, electric windows (although painfully slow), Nardi steering wheel, red leather seats, red carpet and red dash/door cards. Seats needed and still need recovering as they are tatty from 20 years of use and abuse.

    Here is when I first got it:







    First "mod" was to relocate that horrific numberplate...



    It was fairly clean





    So I started buying bits when I managed to scrape the money together. Best purchase was getting a new bumper painted and smoothed by my good friend Neil.

    Old bumper was a bit tatty:




    Took most of the day (don't ask) but it looked much better afterwards.



    Next up was a de-tango




    next up was the lows! And yes I am aware that I have the cheapest coilovers EVAR!


    Had a bit of a fight with the ol' bilsteins



    Fav pic of the car:

    It sat like this after the coils (poor pic that doesnt show shit)



    I then fancied tarting up the engine bay... No homo!


    Actually LOVED the primer colour!



    Which dried like this...



    But less pink!

    Looks less orange in reality.

          So i decided new tyres might be wise...




          so i bought some wheels with some fat tyres for £70... sweet!




          Got the tyres stripped so i could do a backyard resto



          This is where they were after (look better in pics than in person)



          And on the homo-sled




          Also I would like to say sorry about all the insta-gay pics... My bad!

              Future plans are to roll the arches and get 20mm sparers on the front, bit more low, fix the front bumper (had a little accident... i nearly cried), Full stainless exhaust, seats re-trimmed in a slightly brighter shade of red and slap in a mk2.5 dash and cards.
