Nah, that's the chick from Today Tonight...

They did a story on a Police raid, how they video taped these idiot burnout hoons who met every week in some residential area and did burnouts for hours on end... 100-ish spectators, and 5 or 6 main culprits doing the burnouts. The Police videotaped them for a month or so to get evidence on tape, and then planned a huge raid where they blocked off all the roads and trapped everyone inside and went searching for the main culprits. Her boyfriend was one of the main morons and from memory, he was this skinny, "ful sik" type ;)

He's such a hero, that he quickly shoved his fat-ass gf in the drivers seat to make her take the heat, but Police > stupid habibs and they dragged him out of the passenger seat and handcuffed him on the spot. Then the camera panned to his gf in the drivers seat and that's what she looked like.

:( :( :D:)

Merli, you failed to tell us how big the exhaust tip(s) was - if it's big enough to put a body-builder's leg in, then that's gotta be about 130kW (per exhaust tip, of course). And if the outlet is at least twice the size of the piping before the rear muffler (if it has one), then the figure doubles!

Someone's already pointed out the lack of info on type/number of stickers attached to the car (airbrushing adds 35% over stickers), but the Chromies should be worth about 80kW per corner.

A GT-style rear wing would bump up the figure somewhat, considering the new technology and subsequent improvements gained in this area since the release of the Veilside-type wing.

Also, power would be lost due to the lack of fitment of a DVD player - fancy going to all that effort and not carrying out this final (and simple) mod! Oh, the horror... :)

      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

      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).
