The Ibiza is still up for sale along with the RS's!
I now have this
It's a 1.8iS so has a LSD
on coilovers, Miltek exhaust, Sparco steering wheel with snap off boss.
And I've started doing a few bits to it
Carbon gearknob and new leather gaiters with blue stitching.
Jackson racing HT leads and 'long' NGK spark plugs fitted as well as a mushroom air filter
I've got a duck tail spoiler on the way and a TR Lane roll bar.
I need to get my audio out of the Ibiza and I'm going to use the 4 channel and the Hertz HSK components
Once the RS's have sold I will be getting a set of wheels, then it can go lower and have a proper fast road alignment

just read this from start to finish.... a shame your selling up.
but got yourself a nice replacement there....... mx-5s are a lot of fun, especially sideyways
how much for a short back n sides??

Thanks, I never expected anyone to go through the whole thing!
Yea the MX5 is so different to drive and so much fun, even though it's a lot slower!
£5 please
took me a few hours but i got there in the end lol.
just because its slower don't make it any less fun to drive.
my clio 182 was fun when you found the right B road
wasn't exactly slow but wasn't exactly rapid at the same time..... but man did it go round corners £5!!!!! i'm getting stung for £8.50 up here!!!!!
Time for a turbo or S/C install then.....
Throttle bodies preferably!
Although I know sod all about them really.
Time to start reading up!

Yea it's such a better drive than the Ibiza, even though I enjoyed the Ibiza a lot.
After the journey it may not work out any cheaper!!
And then it becomes the choice between a DIY type install using bike ITBs, or going for something like Jenveys...
As cupra.al says, will be good to see what you decide to go for
ITBs all the way

Pretty cheap for the parts too....

Wheels!
They are Schmidt Modernlines 15x8 et20 with 205/50/15
I personally would have gone for a smaller tyre but I found these on ebay and made an offer.
I didn't realise that the wheels and tyres were brand new, so I had a steal at £400!
They sit reasonably flush and I wanted to go with the big tyre look with this car rather than loads of stretch.
Tonight I will be rolling the arches and lowering it down onto the tyres
I also stripped all of the audio out of my old Ibiza
It might not look a lot but I forgot just how much wiring etc went into that car!
I will be using the 4 channel amp and one of the sets of components, and getting my old Alpine head unit back from my girlfriends old car
More tonight once it's lowered!
