Yeah not so much on stuff like that, but you probably got that impression from my post.:whistling:

I'm more referring to hamfisted mods with no real forethought, normally structural or braking related.

I signed it: don' be hatin'!:nyaanyaa:

Same here I have no sympathy for the knobs that are outside the law or have hot air induction pod filters, gay altezza style commo lights n crap like that. BUt this law is to broad and could get ppl in the poo just for having on a spare tire or a broken windscreen while on the way to get it repaired.

Sure the cops will say that they wont in this case but then one or two will be anal turds and give you one and all of a sudden every cop is giving one just cos they can.

the laws suck pretty hard, have heard plenty of stories about people in stock cars getting defected. Like evo's with factory recaro's getting defected for "aftermarket seats" or people getting done for exhaust volume on a brand new stock car. Like said, if they have nothing official to fine you for but want to give you a fine then they can just pull the suspicion of mods thing and you have to pay to have the sticker removed. These things really are getting out of hand when you can be defected for stock or approved mods. It would at least be a bit more fair if you only had to pay if it turned out you had a defectable item, if it passes the pits then you shouldnt have to pay. It would stop issues like this and stop it from being abused so much.

Talking to my workmate last night who's bro is a higway cop. Apparently they way they meet their kpi's isn't by how many people they pull over but how much in fines they rack up!

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
