Hey, just got back from checking out that MX5.
- no smoke at 4k once the car was warmed up (k emsta?)
- roof in good condition, apparently was new just over 1yr ago.
- paint (red) seemed ok, but the car was a bit dirty/dusty, so its hard to tell how bright it would be when cleaned. also, from what i could see, it looks like it's had a respray somewhere down the line, you can see the edge of the paint at the top of the doors and around the boot sill.
The problem is i've never driven an MX5 before. (not usually the way i do it)
Is this all normal behaviour for an mx5?
-The ride was pretty rough (17"rims?)
-moderate power, as expected
-steering seems to pull around the road a bit
-and of course, fcken tiny inside, i found it hard to get comfortable. windscreen so close my face.
-clutch pedal seemed very high, but then my skyline pedal is very low. owner reckons they had it adjusted that way, why you would i dont know, perhaps a new clutch is not far off?
I think what's turning me off is that it's a '93 model car, and you can tell when u drive it.
I think i'm gonna get my gf to drive it for herself, and make sure it's what she wants.
