Monkfish's Fagwagon

[Monkfish]

After what seems like months of searching (it was actually 4 weeks or so) I finally found a nice MX-5. She's a 1.8 Eunos with 149,000km's on the clock, electric windows and power steering. She drives and handles brilliantly and pulled 136bhp and 114lbs.ft at a Rolling Road today. The 1.8's should be 130 so I'm happy with that. She's got a cone filter and NGK leads, not sure on plugs though. No major plans at the moment other than tidying her up as the paint is a touch flat in places.

I've been thinking of a name too and I think I've settled on Yuki, which is Japanese for snow.

Not for the age and price range I was looking at. There's some surface rust on the rear arches and a few tiny spots of surface rust underneath (the dealer put her up on ramps and I had a good nose about), but it's all minor and she's solid other than that! I'll get that sorted in the spring probably.

Up to you big boy. :homer:

Thanks gents. I've only had her a few days and I'm loving it already. I can't wait for the next trackday at Llandow too, she's going to get some abuse!

Coooeee!! Hello sailor! Nice Eunos that, think the white on black makes it look a little less camp. I love them just not the image they seem to have. Have fun mincing about in it! :haha:

Looks nice... I still regret not buying a 175bhp N/A one with TE37's that I was offered for just £2k... I never got over the fact that I could see over the windscreen due to being 6'4"+...

Definately a + on the end of that 4 marko, more like a 6"+..

On topic though, it's a cool car! I really like them and yours looks very nice
