Get a huge sticker for rear window "NON TURBO" but I'd guess that would be like adverting you have no left nut and defeats the purpose of driving an NA line (looks fast, goes slow)...I do like the camera idea

HAHAH thats what i done. i put a sticker no the back saying 'Sorry, It, Non Turbo' and i noticed i dont get pulled over at all anymore .. it work =)

yeh bro i got pulled over, cop pulled me over and basically said im not suppose to be drivin turbo.

i wasnt speeding or anything, and i told him ' its not a turbo mate'

he goes ok.

and i could see him checkin out my car for other problems, then he full on asked me to show him bonnet so i did.

then he did a whole car roadworthy check on car, and slugged me for my front tyres being too slick.

at the time , i was getting new tyres fitted in whtihin 3 days with these new rims, and i eve noffered to show ihm rims which wer in the boot, i told him to plz not giv me a fine or canary, but he goes ' its for your protection' or sum sht and stuck this massive sticker on my car lol ( canary) . so i had to go through whole roadworthy bs at vicroads.

and optop of that, vicroads had a stuff up with my roadworthy which i got a letter saying registration was suspeneded, which i needed to sort out .

absolute waste of time, they didnt need to do that.

but i wasnt gonna complain, who knows , he might've arrested me for trying to explain to him common sense.

with the amount you are getting hassled im thinking maybe your car is known to them from a previous owner.......

I am the old owner lol.. I didn't get picked on anywhere near as much as David is saying he is.

I was only done for speeding once..

The car just attracts lots of attention because it sounds tough and looks mint! Sooo shinnnyyy

ethnic appearance???? lol

in what world would they hassle you for having an ethnic appearance :D

nah but i get hassled a bit by cops,

i was pulled over, and he asked me to show him under bonnet, so i did. and he was satisfied with that, then he started doing a check on my car , and slugged me for my front tire being a bit bald , so he defecteed me :(

but jus dont flogg it hard, when cops are around , put it in 5th and cruise if a cop is nex to you and you shudnt get hassled., even if it is a turboed.

Well, a number of things,

Ive been pulled over because they thought i was of ethnic apperance, when in fact im not tanned and i have light brown hair.

Ive been pulled over and had a mouthing to because of dark window tint whihc is 100% legal.

Ive been followed by under cover cops all the way to my mates houses and turn sirens on when i have stopped and turned the car off.

Ive had them open my door and step on the accelerater trying to prove its a turbo, when its obviously not.

ive been pulled over and had my engine bay searched.

My pod filter makes a good sucking noise, and have been questioned many times over this, but its fully sealed in a box.

But there seems to be nothing i can do to avoid being pulled over except for not driving, has any one else experienced this, or is it because i was born a ginger and have bad luck for life :bomb_ie:

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
