Well picked to upgrade to a Mk3, trying to find a good rust free mk2.5 just to hard 
Got to say it drives damn nice, guess them inch bigger wheels get over them bumpy roads. Seems slower than the old Mk2.5, I guess it just smooth and no exhaust sound. DSC button what the hell that, need to read owner manual I guess. Sure it a press for fun button lol.
Anyway took a bad pic of it for now:

I thought it just be TC, not think it have all that other stuff.
Think the only car I've had with TC was an old 2002 Vectra SRI, It was a load of crap really.
If one front wheel spin a little it just cut the power and then kicked the power back in.
This was really bad in Snow and trying to pull off.
Seeing this a lot more than just TC be good to see what it like in the snow I guess.
At least it got an off button the Vectra could not be turned off

Well worth getting a test drive in one first, yes there a MX5 and there nice.
First pot hole you hit, your think maybe that hole not as bad as it looked.
I always moaned about the MK2.5 being a bit of a boat in bends, Mk3 even with my 4x4 look so much better.
My only moan on the MK3 so far is why they move the hand brake?
Also took the mk2.5 out today wow it's seems so small now, But at least the hand brake in the right place.

Yeah she great m8 at least she undersealed now. Got a lot of messing about to do, first get old MX5 with new MOT. Change wheels back to standard sell her and the sell the wheels. Then buy the GoPreform exhaust, need to talk to Skuzzle if I get it with sport cat? Then get manifold need to talk to Skuzzle on that to really, as there racing beat 4in1 or IL 4in1 But the guys who I think make the GoPerform Cat back told me, get there sport cat and racing beat manifold. And there seeing 182bhp with just the that done, not sure if skuzzle intake will make more (fingers crossed it will) Spoke to Mark the other day at Skuzzle, he said I could just go get lowering spring. But it can kill the ride. So he said get shocks to but if your doing that you may as well get coil overs. I think all in this going to cost just over £3k, but car will be sorted. Sound good, go good, lowered to look right and handle better. Once all done just two things missing alloys and some stickers  |
