you are the same as nearly every mx5 owner they want to personalise it and most want it to go faster/harder
theres some who make it go fast and look pretty later
or vice versa
but at the end of the day its awesome cause everyones is different.

yours is an amazing looking car mate and sets the bar for attention to detail.
I have trouble convincing my missus to let me spend $200 bucks on my baby let alone $2000 so i know what thats like.
I think ive spent about $700 bucks on mine in the last two years (on good sh*t )

unfortunately she classes oil, brake pads, and repalcing a leaking soft top etc as spending money on it ( what is wrong with womens brains when it comes to our toys ? )

congrats on your dream job too mate
