Here's my recently acquired 1990 Eunos Roadster, most of the mods you see below were already fitted. I have started to add my own personal touches and theres a bit to go yet. New paint, wheels, standard nose and lip etc to come.

Now for the photo's

That was \"Fish\" that did most of the performance mods. This car was his introduction to sports cars/trackdays and upgrade-itis. His \"only\" MX5 is now his 2F racecar....poor bastard :lol:

Looks great!
Mind you, I was a bit disappointed....I was expecting a 1098 or something along those lines with a subject heading "The Duke!"
:P

55,000kms for a 1990 car? Hmmmmmmmm :?

That means this car has only average just a little over 3000kms every year for the past 18yrs. Didn't the previous owner like driving it or something? Has it been stored? or was the original speedo replaced?

Looks goods though.

We traded a 97 model with 26,000 on it, so it IS possible, just highly unlikely! :wink:

i think it was definitely "clocked" it's a bit hard to see in the photo of the speedo but the leftmost "5" had scratches on it from where I'd say they had wound it back with a screwdriver. Nevertheless the car is in very good nick regardless of what k's it's done. Now shows 78,000. I've been using it for it's intended purpose :)

Cheers,
Julian
