Got my for £50 if i remember rightly and that was off here, conveniently in the right colour.

It just depends where and what you browse whether you knew about it really; I imagine the idea of a new site will be much harder now due to the publicity silkroad has just started!

Played around sticking the MX5 alloys on today... Probably gonna keep them on for a good while; quite like them on this!
...Just need to get the tyres changed for the front two... so here's a picture with just the back on! -
Tried sending a good 4 or 5 from bristol when I was out hospitality and seeing skream live...was too mashed and failed most of them!
-
Get it done and take me out in it you fucker!

There's giving advise and instructing, then there's been a absolute cock...
On a different note, looks rapid -
I know for a fact this needs updating!

This could do with a bump now the app has maybe got more popular? Civiclife have a pretty epic thread with lots of snapchat addresses and epic pictures going around, and the few people I know on here defo have it!

Quite like it though its not my sort of thing!
Gonna have to ask though...are you not getting a shite load of attention with that much stretch? vosa/traffic went crazy with it over the last couple of months up here as far as I know! -
Few more pictures
-
nice to see my spoiler going to good use! looks perfect!
The main problem been the paint is so much better on your spoiler than the paint on my car! Gonna have to get on the job of getting the car machine polished to bring the sparkle back!

Talk about packing!
Perfect sale, mentally packed! -
Lovely bargain you've got there, should have kept the door strips as they look really tidy.
Aye quite happy with it considering the price, its just a bit weird buying wheels for more than I bought the car! :')
I'm not a fan of door strips in general tbh, though I could see why someone people wouldn't mind these ones

Figured I'd start a build thread as it looks like I could be keeping this car for a while at the rate its going!
I recently nicely wrote off a MX5 and after a few RWD cars I didn't really want to be back in a fwd hatch
but annoyingly I've grown quite a liking to it, plus I could of done with a change anyway!
So after writing off the MX I needed to acquire a car asap and was primarly looking at traveling quite far
for a decent n/a but I then saw this about a hour a way...up for £300 with MOT and it drives, so figured I
better go for it! £270 and a trip to newcastle and back later I came home with it. It was (and still is, all be it
not so much) feeling rather sorry for itsself with 140k on the clock and a few exterior problems, but in all
honesty it drives smooth as can be really!
So some pictures of before I bought it:
Many blemishes on the exterior, no door handles, a huge oil covered engine and some very questionably working locks!
So far I've done a few things and I'm hoping to get it through another MOT soon enough but so far:- Potentially fixed the oil leak (which wasn't exactly difficult, just some tightening up...)
- Fixed the fact it had no outer door handles
- Import plate on the front
- Cut out the grill and put some mesh with a T sport badge stuck on
- Clear indicators
- Started debump stripping
- Fitted random shitty k+n that came on the mx when I bought it
It currently sits like this (excuse the horrible quality photo taken from the front room window...)
Future plans I'm not sure of other than the obvious exterior things (splitter/glanza rear bumper, spoiler/backbox etc) but that will be decided as I go along, see how long it is before I get bored of the power! -
good to see you on board jim pop down one night this week if you want to check it over i'll have mine on ramps aswell
Might have to take you up on that and come up with toffa at some point! Though I doubt I'l manage it this week as I've got the rest of the MX to finish breaking

Welcome mate were in the north east are ye from
From Guisborough mate, just near Middlesbrough.
There's a few Glanza's and Starlets about around here, some people of which I'm allready close friends with (Who'll undoubtedly be getting bugged for help)
-
Just got hold of a pretty messy EP91 (Decision massively influenced by a few people I know around here who've owned glanza's and starlets!) for £270 as a replacement for a MX5 I wrote off! Hoping too much isn't going to come back MOT time to bite me and I can fix it up nicely!

Either way, can't go wrong for £270 when it has MOT and drives!
Cheers, Jim.

First post...and a shit one at that!
Just acquired a EP91 for the whopping price of £270, but both handles are snapped and the ebay prices are ridiculous, any spares kicking about?
Cheers!
