So after an accident in my red mk1 I decided to get another mx5. Found this which looked very good in the ad so went to see the car and decided it was worth the money! Decided to name my build thread something a little more exciting than the last one! Black Mamba - It is among the fastest-moving snakes in the world and is highly venomous.
Anyway, here it is! Pics are from the ad. Way too much chrome and red for my liking so interior will be one of the first thing to sort out. Then I need to get my Mesiter's on when I get some time. Decided on my wheels but not sure what colour to go for. Thinking Bronze or maybe bronze lip with black centre.......or just silver! My first purchase for this car was a manifold! It's from Moss and looks to be well made. Dilema now is how am I going to fit it! It's a '97 model so it's got the annoying size cat, will take it to a garage once I've got the whole system. (Sorry for the rubbish pics!) I'm hoping to get some interior stuff done over the next couple of days so hopefully that will be my first update.

Managed to do some de-chroming and instal my stereo! Got a new Steering wheel on the way and a new gear knob. In the process of painting a centre console and tombstone. Can't decide between satin or gloss black! Also took off the mouse trap and fitted a cabin brace.

Stick one on the bathroom scales before you put the tyres on!

Ahem. It would be interesting to know how ultralite they are. What are the specs on these?

6kg isn't bad at all for a 15x8 is it?! What's the offset on these?

Offset is et0. Had a long day today rolling the arches and fitting the coilovers! Got it done though, just need to adjust the ride height now to get it to sit right. Also got my new steering wheel fitted which I love! Need to get the short boss on there though.
