I really don't understand why the last owner didn't just buy a z3. They really aren't that expensive and when you factor in just how much money has gone into this car on top of the price they paid for the mx5 to begin with, they could have easily just bought the BMW to begin with

Not to mention It doesn't seem to fool anyone either since it doesn't actually LOOK like z3 still, only from a slight distance or possible driving past.... So why??

I know this isn't everyone's taste, I'm not putting it down here so don't get me wrong. It's your car do whatever, no judgement. But I really don't understand the thought process behind someone who goes through with something like this. You mentioned that this belonged to someone you know or are related to and you seemed to have inherited it as your own, can you shed some light on a bit of history behind the car and how it came to be? It's not often we really get to see stuff like this.

No offense taken mate!

Parents Bought it off some fellow who spent a few years doing this as a project, They mis interpretted what modifying a car is all about. Dad liked the car and always wanted a convertible so he suprised me and got the car for me on my 18th birthday. Little did they know what modifying a japanese car meant haha.

I drove this car for 2 years and stop driving it for the last 4 years, where i have owned various of other cars namely r34 gtt , V35 and Currently Evo 8 MR. Now i decided to work on the mx5 and deeply frustrated that i cant work on the original body, so I've bought a 1990 mx5 for track where we are building for drifting, and im building this car for my parents as a promotional business car, hence why its so Orange hahah

Hopefully that has shed some light on the vehicle, I understand why some wouldn't appreciate it and we are all entitled to do so. Hopefully when ive completed the drift car, i will put up the Build post up as well.

Thanks guys

Hey guys thought I'd post new pics for those who are curious in regards to the car.

Yeah I know it's not eveyones taste, but hopefully you all see it's a mx5 at heart.

edit: I can see your point about the wheels now, I couldn't before. The kits so large that you cannot lower it further at the front, but your wheel gaps still massive.

Hmm.

I do still love the wheels, however biast I am!

I dont usually like cars like this but damn, thats a sweet looking machine! I really like how the black headlights, lip etc contrast. Really nice. 100x better than before. Nicely done mate.

I actually like. I see it for what it is.. A show car. I love how low it is too! And the colour is hot.. Nicely done

Cheers fellas.

Dont you worry, that motor will be built after i come back from Japan :evil:

I built it for my business. Using the colour scheme and have the business name on my plates.

Seriously needs bigger diameter wheels. The current ones look too small with those giant wheel arches. Then probably high profile tyres too. Will prob drive like crap but I guess it doesn't matter since you're using it as a business car anyway.
