After 6 years in the wilderness, the 5 bug kicked in again and i decided I could no longer be without a Roadster. After a little while hunting I purchased a 1995 R-Limited at the end of 2016. It was always my favourite limited edition, and it was cheap so... Imported in 2009, just 55k miles. came fairly standard bar the following: Meister shocks. Mazda heated HT in black Chrome electric mirrors (have the correct ones too) Lil 13" RBs and many a spacer!! Mazdaspeed exhaust and 4-2-1 mani. Nice blue heated mohair hood. Fancy pants mike Satur style bar. Some nice interior bling (zoom starter, IL retro mirror) Here's a pic of what she looked like when I got her: The lil RB's soon went as were too small for 1.8 brakes without tons of spacers. She also came with a set of Tailgate McNoIndicate BBS, so i clad them in Rainsports for winter wheels. Here is another incredible photo (I always try to park next to the nicest Fizbne car I can find) Since purchasing I have fitted new brakes all round, new tyres, garage star door bushes, cabin brace..Errr, yeah slow progress - this time round the 5 isn't high up on my priorities. Will update when I eventually take some decent pics, and I have a few imminent changes, mini projects coming up... In the mean time, some pics of my old FM2 I should not have sold:

Envious of the R, so looking forward to see how the slow build goes. I used to think the colour combination of the red interior and blue exterior was just mad JDM, but somehow it has grown on me, and I love it!

The satellite mica is the best colour IMO too

I think the Blue never going to be the mean green pal, selling that one always going to be a hole in your heart

Looks lovely mate. Shame the 13s don't fit properly!
What are those wheels on your old one? Like those a lot.

Nice, cheers mate. Looks like they're an old style that are no longer made unfortunately!
