Rwd roadster wanted! Advice :)

Good vid Nick. I love that song, what is it?

I like the look of your mx-5 actually. Don't get me wrong I didn't mean to offend, I think its just that I don't like them in standard form. They need to be sat lower, with a decent set of rims and subtle body mods. I also greatly dislike them in Red for some reason. Much prefer darker coloured ones.

Seems like I'm sucking up a bit I know! But I'm sorry, I'm just not really a fan.

Convertibles are great.  Just buy any you like.  Never listen to creepy homophobic commentators trying to put you off something they would love to do but have not got the bottle to do.

The BMW and the VW in the list below are both convertibles.

"Creepy Homophobic"

 

I'm neither - I'm in the Navy ffs! 


"not got the bottle to do it"


Fair enough, the only rwd car I've ever driven is a BMW 120d, so don't really have any knowledge or experience with regard to drifting, but don't have the bottle to do it - have a word!

I'd love to have a drift session tbf. I am confident enough in my driving skills to think I may be able to pick it up with a little training, its hardly something many (especially enthusiasts) would "bottle" is it now.

It's an ugly duckling track but I can't remember the name of it off hand. Glad you like the vid. The car stands me at about £1600 so it proper cheap RWD fun. They aren't the manliest things in standard trim but with little effort they can look pretty tough.

I do admit I do like your mx5 horney, was looking at the classifieds and wasn't too sure but yours looks pretty mean ! £1600 you say? What model is yours, 3k for a sc and that's a cheap fast car! Oh I'm not into drifting at all, so wouldn't need it for that !

Mines a 1991 1.6 V-Spec import. It came as standard with the (Very marmite but I love it) tan interior, Nardi wheel, nardi gearknob, strut braces and an LSD. The guy before me added the wheels, suspension and induction kit. I paid £1250 for it. I then added lowering springs to the Koni dampers it had and then bolted on the front splitter, rear spoiler and go faster stickers.

Though all roadsters (edit: made after the 70's) are girly cars, blokes can get away with a targa but a full drop top is....  .

That is a price that would make me think really hard about reasons not to buy it.

Not being funny but you look a bit stupid driving in a loud tuned up car or lowered too 1mm from the floor, 25 year old mk2 etc tbh I'm embarrassed in that Clio sometimes !

Awaits the abuse from DH....

Steve, you do realise the part of Australia you're going isn't the most suitable for absurdly lowered cars, don't you?
