Mx5

[Scott-EP]

I think I'm just having a mad moment, But i've driven one and do really like them even though there pretty girly car's,

But Sideways does seem tempting at the minute,

But i don't want to sell the Starlet! Dam i wish i was able to have both

What are your views on them ?

Hairdressers car

Fecking awesome. Hence why I sold my GT for one. Currently under going major surgery to enhance it's performance with a K26.

Good car ruined by girly/hairdresser image.

[Scott-EP]

I know someone was going to say hairdressers car haha! But it's a cheap way into drifting that's how i look at it, You can pick one up for £1500-£2000 which is all i would look at spending as only going to use it learning to drift haha

[LukeSR]

Nah i was joking dude, they are great cars to learn to go sideways

[Starlet_Sam]

Mine was £500.

Spent a few pennies since though. Will wipe the floor with a GT or Glanza round a track if you can drive though.

[ste91]

That's a mild achievement really.

Don't get me wrong, IF i was older then 19 and could get decent insurance i would rather a S13 but as i said insurance is a no no lol And its becoming hard to get a clean one

[Starlet_Sam]

Well my old GT was quite good at handling, much better than standard anyway (it actually turned) but the MX5 is stupidly good. I know a guy in the BDC with one, he seems to rate it a fair bit for drifting but I can't say I've done much myself.

To be fair you won't be getting fantastic premiums on an MX5, especially if it's an import and trust me you'll want an import!

[Scott-EP]

1.8i Eunos Mx5 (import obviously)

Fully comp.. £1095.85 just got a quote, Only £40 more then my GT lol

[Starlet_Sam]

I'd go for 1.6 personally. Better engine IMO.

[Scott-EP]

Can you easily get the rear out though with a 1.6i ??

[Starlet_Sam]

You can indeed.

[Scott-EP]

Fucking AWESOME cars... but IMHO NOT good drift cars!

Too Short and snappy. For a learner I'd suggest an S13 to start with

I really would prefer an s13 but insurance for me at 19 with 2 years ncb is around £1700, Don't really fancy spending that much, Also it's hard trieing to find a clean one for decent money, Infact i find it hard finding one in decent condition at all now days :harhar:

[Guest Enzo]

that guy stays local to me,, one of the best handling cars of all time aparently.

[scot-ish]

i nearly bought a supercharged on whilst was waiting on a good starlet to pop up, and i would swap my starlet tomoz for a good mx5.

to be fair, i dont think there that good to learn to drift, they are to snappy, its easier to learn to drift with a longer car.
