Thanks all

What do I have planned? well hmmm nothing! but having the internet and access to forums like these doesn't help does it LOL

I bought the car pretty much bone stock apart from a few things like the satin chrome indicator rings...

So far it's been Tinted and replaced the ugly number plate bracket with the ones from MX5 Plus.

I've got a few stuff coming from MX5 Parts UK, also ordered a GROM audio unit this morning.

Lowering the car is definitely on the cards.

Yeah well there's always faster cars that can handle but none of which give you the same feeling an MX-5 does.
And plus the folding hard top is awesome! no more soft top issues, is also a bit more secure but still have the open top advantage.

Glad I got rid of that problem of a thing haha :P jks jks

I never was interested in the NC at all, didn't like the exterior of Series 1 although I do like Series 2 but the driving.... hard to explain it's just awesome in all other ways :D

I would be keen to hold a spanner or screwdriver for you Tien when you install the Grom. Please let me know if possible.

Hmm knowing me I'll be so keen on getting it in that I'll be fitting it on the way home from work haha! or at some ridiculous hour of the night.

I'll see what I can do but normally when I get something I try and jam it in the car that second lol

But one thing for sure I'll make a note of everything and do up a How To so others can go off it if that is of any help :D

Oh and if the GROM unit is any good my Genuine iPod unit will more than likely be up for sale

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

do you think that the nc has lost its feel compared to the older mx5s?
