Mazda MX5 Turbo - hoodedreeper - 23-02-2021

After my previous project (Nissan Micra K11) had come to an end i needed to sink my teeth into something new. I've always wanted to learn how to drift,and this was the perfect base to start with!

It needed some TLC,particually the paint work,several patches had gone right through,so sorting that out was first priority aswell as a service.

The modifiying had begin with a Style Bar,Strut Brace,Digi Camo Graphics,TA Technix Coilovers and a set of 13x7j ET-7 Minilight Wheels

November 2011 was when i got the diff welded,as the Open Diff just wasnt good enough for skidding. Also got myself a hard top aswell as some tow hooks.

Then came the crazy idea to Turbo it! So managed to get my hands on a 2nd hand Greddy Kit

Got bored of the Shield Graphics and decided to hand paint some Sharks Teeth to carry on with the Military theme
