I know that this is massively off topic, but i know allot of you are petrol heads and dip into other car scenes.

Does anyone know what kit this is or (long shot) have any info on the cars?? alternatively could point me in the right direction.

Think it could be from 'garage vary'.

cheers, Mark

Agree the 1800 is 'ok' but needs a bit more pace.

would get one and fit one of the many turbo kits avaliable. like them though i find them a bit too cramped. and in the last few months two of the newer shape(as pictured) have came through the door with humped big ends, both the 6sp versions with the high rev limit so watch out for that. aside there great cars.

I would love one, his car ia much nicer in perso. When you see the whole car with the wing it looks right. Quite a few drifters in swindon use them.

Saw one not to long ago with a westfeild megabusa converson!

Cheers Paul, if it's a well known car and he has anymore info links to other pics etc would be great. Also a heads up on what forums to check out would be good.

I never liked that shape mx5 but with that kit on ive changed my mind. To me it looks almost like a mini s2000.
I always liked the eunos imports, my ex had one with the 1.8 in and like a few have said just too underpowered. Easy enough to work on though.

I suppose a bonus is that david manners is only up the road for spares!
Found a photo online of the chaps mx5 who lives round the corner from me, although ive never been a fan of them, this one is growing on me...
