Welcome aboard!
for a cheap mod, grab yourself an air filter ... it gives the car a nice deep induction note.

Hi, its blue(2001) only 87k on the clock. Forgot the exact color name. Its a everyday driver so nothing like turbo for now( maybe next month
)
I'm looking at the Mania CIA or similar, I'm in Perth and don't know where the local mx5 places are yet.
I basically want to do intake, exhaust and roll bar, as I've heard a good CIA gives about the same increase as a exhaust system?
Which one do you suggest? thanks guys

We suggest a Wheel alignment as your first point of call, then drop Okibi, forum owner and fellow Sandgroper a PM and see where the Sandgropers meet up. I think they do something fairly often in Perth.
The guys can talk you through the specs for above.
and a 2001 will be a Supreme Blue, the most awesomest colour ever
If anyone disagrees, just tell em' you know Caffeine and Dave from the forum, they'll quiet down real quick.

Here it is,

Also this is my first RWD car, when I pull away slowly when cold.
What do you think guys? paid $17K. It drives great.
I first want to get a good CAI, which one?

Very nice! I love the colour.
Are you coming on the
cruise on Sunday?
Early NB8B models were infamous for "clutch judder" - could that be what you are experiencing?
see here for some more details
I was pretty happy with the APEXi CAI on my NB (10AE)
I got mine from
Greenline - it was reasonably priced, and the AUD to YEN exchange rate is improving.

HI, thanks Zombie, I think the color suits the car too well too, love yours.
I think it must be the clutch then, its not too bad.
thanks for the invite, maybe next time, got something organized for Sunday.
time to go and finish the polishing...
