Looking at an MX-5 with a hard top on, probably why!

I miss that leather interior :(


See, boosted! I used to be cool! Taking my sports car to car shows and taking pics of RX-8s way before I could get one. :oops:

Think the winning blue is a YouTube vlogger, looks like he has some regrets and probably cried once the camera stopped rolling :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:

I've started to find him irritating, and that video just continues the myths about the RX8.

There was something very wrong with his car if he had to use and spend as much on oil as he said. :shock:

That's what I thought. Seems like the shell was good but mechanically finished.

Think he brought it for £500 with low compression, so possibly side seal failure. No intention of keeping it, just needed something japanese for his channel/jdm meets

Correcto boosted ;) or maybe an S-Ltd, I can't remember as it was a previous owner who did that bit. Although it was the only part of the car that was from one of them, the chassis itself started life as a V Spec. The whole thing was a bit of a franken5 with all the nice bits from various specials I liked. I believe at one point it had the uber rare RS recaros in it.

Also.
Who dis mans.

I saw a winning blue RX8 with an aftermarket spoiler and sunroof, aftermarket exhaust when I took my car for a test drive when I bought it. I want to thank that person because they convinced me to get a RX8 About 2 months ago though. Had owners cub stickers in the rear windows.
