    After my s14 was smashed up i went about selling bits and looking for a replacement. I'd always liked mx5s, then this popped up last week so i decided i'd journey all the way to wales on friday to collect it.

    The spec is as follows

    Hardtop
    HKS Hiper Exhaust system
    Powertec stainless induction kit
    Coilovers
    Cusco Safety 21 4pt Rollbar
    Red leather Lotus Elise seats
    8x15 et 25 Rota RBs with Yoko Parada tyres
    OEM front Lip
    OEM Boot lip spoiler
    Crystal Headlights
    Homebrewed Headlamp lid vent and TSIs
    Chequered floor mats
    JDM knee rest.
    Brand new hood.

    plans include a general tidy up including spraying the bootand spoiler, a posh diff of some sort, changing the cage and sooner or later some forced induction.

    Are the wheels 15x8 et0?? They look like they are.

    A full side on would be nice so i can judge the ride height you have. And if you have one of the front fitment.

    Also if they are the 15x8 et0 did you have to do a lot of work to make them fit? or just a simple lip roll?
