Evolve seem to be the best and easily hideable if the car is in warranty. DMS are also pretty reputable.

Loads of threads on the subject. This is just one example...

Strangely you can do things to a Lambo which just wouldn't work on any other car.

I'd take my chances with a 458 if I had the cash. Judging by the spate of tests that have come out in the last week or so it seems to be the supercar to beat. Not sure about the toytown dash though....

See my post above about forums. There's quite a few UK Mk3 guys on miata.net and for a US based forum its very friendly.

I'll try and find you on Nutz too.

Excellent job, Jay. Looks really good.

350 is the purer and prettier design and really hasn't dated much at all. 370 has grown on me but isn't in the same league IMHO.

Good one though. Must be where Rik cut his teeth...

2 & 2 together and.. this is rik!?

 

 

It's maybe Riks american cousin....

Like Rik but fatter and married to his own sister?

Internal drive lug nuts - went all rusty on the inside...

 

 

What about your dust caps???????

And them!

LOL. The seller is dreaming! You can pick up mint MY05 plates with reasonable mileage for £1k more.

+1 Ridiculous price.

The police over here tried something similar a few years back at road black spots/serial serious accident sites. They put up cardboard cut outs of police cars or a policeman with the Hawk radar detector. It worked, slowed people down.

 

Good idea. I bet they'd be more visible than our live police with radar guns.....

 

Not seen this before.

They did it in the nineties on the M6 with cardboard Rangies...

Nice rims on the coupe.

Was it set up properly with the lowering springs, Dan? The Mk3 can feel like a dog without them and good geo set up. Get it right and you've got a car which is better than the Mk2. If you've heard of Wheels In Motion (they are the generally accepted wizards of MX5 chassis tuning), Tony the boss reckons that the Mk3 is one of the best RWD chassis ever but only once its been properly set up.

Funnily enough you're not the first person to suggest it might have been a bit dodgy in that respect. It was a brand-new demo car from a main dealer so I would hope that it was set up to OEM specs, which if true really isn't good enough at all.

If it was a Mk3 and not the latest Mk3.5 it won't have been set up properly from the dealer. I agree, very poor show.

I drove the mk3 MX-5 2.0L Sport at the end of last year and hated it. The interior was lovely and it was obviously well screwed together, but the engine made an awful noise and the steering was just vile: It felt like I was more trying to guide it via charades than a direct link between the steering wheel and the front wheels, it was that vague. I so wanted to love it but it had no soul IMHO.

 

I think you'd hate it after the MR2 Stan, although as a GT car it's certainly preferable if you're not going to drive it hard. A mk2 MX-5, however...

A couple of snaps for interest value...

The offsets are weak. I'd go with the Rotas.

Nurrish, please get rid of the scary woman avatar - I can feel my lunch coming back...

It would be fine on a heavily kitted Zed but looks wrong on this one. Wheels are w4nk too...

And it HAS got air-con!
