Why did I name this thread the reincarnated red? Because:

1. I'm back in the mx5 game
2. My old mx5 was a WHITE 1991 NA6
http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=33147

3. Both red and reincarnate start with the letter R

I couldn't resist getting another NA6.

You can call it luck or fate, but I seem to have stumbled on the best kept NA6 I have ever seen.

Bone stock with nothing else but genuine parts and full service history from the local Mazda dealership and only 108,000 on the clock, I simply couldn't resist.

So here we are. Welcome to my garage thread. Here you'll hear about anything and everything I do with the car.

I like to keep modifications light and modest and I like to do them myself when I can.

Look forward to meeting you all.

Cheers,
Felix

Clean as a whistle! You must be pretty happy with it.

Congratulations and welcome back to fold Felix, I'm looking forward to see what you do with it

Looks like a really nicely maintained example. Like CheyneX5 Said. Looking forward to what's next

Felix

Looks a nice tidy unit - well done!!

Look forward to following your thread [or whatever it's called!]

Because you are back in the game. When I am up in Sydney for WTAC I'll bring my car up =)
And we'll all have to catch up for some cake, wings and DIY!!
Oh and a photo shoot.

Thanks Cheyne, wassup and zero - I think it was a rare find ... actually, I thought it may be good to upload this picture of the first time I saw it. To give you an idea, the car's was kept under a cover, within a locked up parking spot, within a secure apartment complex garage. I almost bought it just for that.. haha.



Alex, I'm counting down the days, when is it exactly?

10-11th August just before I jet off for Superloc Targa Adelaide.
Might be up the Friday or earlier.

You are one busy lady alex...

OK will lock those dates in my diary, though there is a chance I will be overseas for business but it'll be great catching up!

Sounds like you've gone all successful busy business man yourself!
Good on you! We'll sort something out, hope your enjoying chilly roof down motoring again.

In a previous thread, (http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=52780)
I asked you guys your opinion on daisies sprayed white... and so I have taken your encouragement on board and here are the results... Thanks!

Now you NEED to paint the tyre lettering white too (OK, maybe you don't NEED to do it, but I reckon it would look cool).

Great thread and pics, Felix.
Glad to see another 'like new' old NA being cared for and modded modestly.
Keep it looking original or at least keep the mods reversible!

- Ben

Lokiel, I agree that would look awesome but a little hard to pull off... also my tyres are Eagle Venturas right now - not something I wanna highlight haha.

Thanks Ben, anything is reversible, just how much it costs to reverse it is the big one to think about !

Got the 5 lowered today with the springs I bought for my last NA6 but didn't get to install until now.



Also installed a pod filter, actually a lot easier than I thought, you can get an adapter at supercheap auto for about 14 dollars. I used a spare bracket to keep it in place by bolting it to the bottom half of the airbox. I'll get it secured with legit brackets after my next trip to bunnings i think.

Please excuse the mess.

Headed out to MDTC yesterday morning as I had taken the day off for my birthday. Just me and an old skyline the whole day. My first time at MDTC and I think I learnt more there than all my times at Wakefield because I was free to experiment and didn't have any other cars to affect my driving... the instructor also gave away a few tips here and there so I'm keen to get back on it later this month (24th), equipped with a new lap timer that I have just bought but didn't get to use this time around.



But anyway, you're not here to listen to me yammer on, here's some of those experiments gone wrong.
