Are you talking about the Kiwi one? I saw pics and understand it was lighter then a stock MX5.

Saw a V8 MX5 roll pas the other day. Friend over here who used to work for Pro Drive in the UK who is involved in a project here in Christchurch tells me it is also supercharged, running the popular Lexus 4.0 V8. It was twin-turbo charged he tells me, but suffered from a bit of turbo lag. I suppose it would, if your turbo's were mounted in the boot...

Did a course a few years ago in Perth and the instructor had an Aussie only MX5 SP turbo. 150kw made for a fun ride in such a light car and waaaaay better than the similar but neutered Japan -spec SE turbo model. We were winding him up about the whole "hairdressers special" for 3 days and on the last day he gave it a bootful out of the car park as several of us were waiting for taxi's, fairs fair the bloody thing just squatted and WENT! Great wolf in sheeps clothing....if you don't mind being mistaken for a hairdresser.

Nice!
XY the best. I had a 67 XR and loved it.
Can't remember all the details but it was featured in Classic Car I think.

I won't tell if you won't...
Daughter and Son-in-law had one. Went well but I did not like the clutchless manual trans. Way too slow to change.
Keep it forever!

Whip it, whip it good!
I owned one for years. Had all the Momo gears and was race tuned. Used to go like a rocket ship
The limited slip diff works extremely well, and not just when the roads are wet either

Went to Arrowtown for lunch today in the Lotus, chased a few bikes over the crown range, they got away at one stage, my excuse was I got held up by a wee convoy of FCV's, caught them up in Wanaka.
Only saw one cop and the radar detector did not go off all day.
Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.

Cool coon there, a guy i know has a 460ci 4speed xygt replica, its very cool.
This is our plymouth, not as light and nimble as the mx5 and lotus etc, infact she is over 2000kgs, 20ftlong, 6ft wide with a 6litre v8 in it with a turning circle like a bus.
On the sunny weekend days the plymouth gets taken out over the bike cause my parner prefers the plymouth over pillion on the cbr. Altho she is starting to warm to the idea of getting her own bike so we can ride

FCV's? Might take the MX5 today to town. Some nice weather up here lately. I reckon the SI has some of the best roads in the country and I do envy you having one of he best sports cars to enjoy them with!

Nice! I guess I'm old school but I don't like the wheels. Prefer more in period. I do love the old Yank Tanks though and my dream garage would have 3 or 4 in it. A mate of mine is bringing a 66 Thunderbird in. Looks mint. They're going over to pick it up and cruise around before shipping it back. He's got good contacts in the US.

Yep, i hear what you are sayin about the wheels, they kinda polarize people a bit, some like the chrome style, others would like it a bit more traditional. I threw my mates 15inch widend steelie rims on it a while ago for a laugh, and it looked real cool, so some steelies with micky thompsons on the back are on the "one day" list. I still have the 14inch skinny steelies and pie dish hubcaps that it came with (i just cant bring myself to throw away original parts!!) even tho they wont fit over the disk brakes on the front.
This week is all about motorcycles for me tho, attending my first ever track day at taupo on saterday
