very nice purchase, my dad used to have one of these but a eunos import. For some reason he felt it necessary to cover the interior in chrome plastic

Polishing will happen the second it stops raining!

Fitted the passenger sill plate that I found on the boot, changed the GASHHH stereo for an Alpine one I had in the garage and changed the wipers. Banging.

still believe that the pleasure of driving comes not from the absolutes of performance, but from the nature of its delivery. I would argue that Mazda’s MX-5, although not especially fast in outright terms, is a high-performance car because it heightens the sensations relayed during driving.

No unfortunately you cant.

I always that it was a shame it was there, but I guess it gives it that classic roadster look
