Alfadog's MX-5 Clubman

Postby Alfadog » Thu Feb 14, 2008 9:45 pm

As some will know I bought Kev's (Babalouie's) MX-5 Clubman some six weeks ago now. As the story goes, I purchased a great little Montego Blue NA8 late last year - but after 2 months of ownership Kev offered me his car for sale and since it's pretty much exactly how I would like my MX-5, I couldn't say no.

I have been since adding lots of personal touches, eager to make the car \"mine\". Most of the parts you probably won't notice, but it's all about the details IMHO. Anyway, pictures forthwith!

Lots of mods, most of you would probably know but basically it's a high compression N/A tune good for around 90rwkw. Tein, Mazdaspeed LSD, the works. It is incredible to drive. :) Hopefully I get to keep it for a long time to come.

My full photo album of hte car is here: http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii28 ... 20Clubman/

Hi Ben,
It's a 1960's era Mazda badge. Came on Familia, Bongo, even the very first Mazda R360 Coupe. My specific one came off a Bongo at a wrecker's yard :D It's all about the retro!
