I bought a car.

Welp, here it is. a 2003 Mazda MX5 1.8L. The engine is supposed to push out 143hp as stock (which it probably lost a few over the years). Other than that, there's some rust on the sills, all for wheels are running different brand tires, and the electronics on the left door are a bit haywire.

After buying the car, the first thing we did was drain the old oil, bolted on a new oil filter, and swapped out the spark plugs with new ones. Our mate had some stuff bolted onto his Yaris as well: LED headlights, strut brace, a faux short shifter mod and some window shields.

The suspension is a bit soft to what I expect, but that may be from worn dampers and/or springs. It doesn't seem to deter it from gluing itself on the road when it comes to handling the corners. We put our cars through their paces in Wales, and my word this thing is a beast. It feels like it could drop most road cars in the corners!

It's a bit lame, but I've always dreamt about owning my own car.... It's finally happened, and bloody hell what a car.
