I went from 185/60/14 to 195/50/15 and have noticed a big drop in revs at motorway speeds, went from nearly 4k at 110kph to just over 3500rpm. I have noticed a lack of "nippiness" through the revs too, but the added traction makes up for this IMO

Give me a call tomorrow, I am the sales rep for Autostop Whangaparaoa and can do you a really good deal on some new rotors 027 293 3450 Cheers Zac P.S. That goes for anyone on this forum. If there is an interest, I can set up a MX5 Forum cash account that would give you trade prices at any Autostop ...

The NA also comes out with the 1800cc motor, so I guess it comes down to whichever one you think looks better. The only good thing about middle-aged women owning a majority of the MX5s on the road (don't argue, you know that it's the truth) is that they havent been thrashed, and most have probably h...

Would you recommend purchasing one, based on your experience? I don't mind a bit of notchiness, comes with the territory.

Considering buying one of these, just wanted to know if anyone has had any issues with longevity.

Rest of it is in good nick though. No mechanical faults, no nasty sqeaks, rattles or vibrations. Cant wait to start spending so...

Picked up the car about an hour ago. Needs a bit of TLC on the outside, but in a few weeks it will be shiny wonderful.
Time to go up SH16 to wellsford before the rain sets in!
