Car was bought in japan at a "Eunos Citroen" dealer, imported to hong kong and then to france.. and then to the UK 38K KM most of which was by the original lady owner who drove it in all the above countries - so as Skuzzle put it, not even run in yet. 1989 1.6 Eunos td04-13t and Link G4X ecu, rx8 yellows, skuzzle-tuned to a safe 220WHP @ 13psi (or was it 10psi? 170kpa I think!) Bog Standard Engine, Jetex 2.5in catback, Single R35GTR Fuel Pump G19 evo2 manifold, downpipe, intercooler and so on Recirculating Dumpvalve setup with a Forge DV Amusingly obsessive catch can setup. Filter: 55mm/2.25" id dry Green filter Skuzzle Clutch Brakes Front: FreakyParts 280mm Corrado rotors / Wilwood Dynalite Callipers / BP10 pads, hel lines Brakes Rear: '89 1.6 with stock pads, hel lines Suspension: Meisters 3 clicks from softest all over, plenty of bracing from GC fabrications Lights: CSG side clusters, raybrigs with nightbreakers, LEDs all over the rear Love this pic from john @moca2cv - check the little tache from condensation. And a recent engine-bay photo YEY nice shots of it on 6ULs. Latest shot on some DTCs. Different. Todo: some rear suspension bracing, and a turbo brace to relieve the manifold.

so, awoken this from its winter slumber. ho ho ho did some mods... added another 5mm spacing to clear the wilwoods better with the 6uls did the flash-to-pass mod ( forum.combustionpunks.co.uk/t/mx5-miata-flash-to-pass-mod/75 ) and switched it back to the original monte carlo wheel. got to say I prefer the montecarlo wheel in this car to the prototipo. - will try the prototipo in the white one.. also took it for a wash and got spotted by tom (@singlering) who then posted photos to whatsapp.. which I saw and lolled at yey spotted.

Took her to the body shop this monday - front bumper was repainted last year but the paint reacted badly within a week or two and just got worse and worse over a few months. Needs the black sill line redoing too. Thankfully this is being done for free (well, cost of the paint).

Great looking car & great spec too. Those R1R tyres are the best too.
