I don't think they meant the width, more how high the total wheel looks in comparison to the car lol

This. I hope my Australian ambassador has helped explain what I meant. :lol:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

My standard wheels are 17x8 and 17x9.5, I wanted to get another set and put 9.5's on the front and have the rears widened to 17x11 to put 315/35 tyres on, but it's illegal to run widened alloy wheels on the street :(

 

Would have to get them properly engineered which would cost a kidney, or the better and cheaper way would be to get wheels custom made in that size.

haha no I haven't brought an MX5 (I'm in the UK so it's not a Miata to me) what I do mhave will eventually be told haha, but for now I want a bit of time to make it my own, the biggest hint I'll give is it's mid engined, so that really narrows it down!

I'm really enjoying it, it's a whole lot cheaper than the R33 (which wasn't written off, just incase you meant me, though I assume you meant the fiero?)

It's completely different to drive, feels much smaller!

 

edit:

 

Also, I don't think we've had one on this thread yet, they're not too rare but often overlooked! I've always liked them and decided I couldn't afford to run an RX7 yet, so this is my stepping stone to that ;)

[Dan G]

well I already know what you've got then :cheeky:

[TIMELESS]

I seriously hope it's a MR2 and not a Boxster :p

[Carlstone13]

time will tell, but for now all I'm telling is I love it

[calster17]

You can't have Suzuki Cappuccino...we already have an owner of one of them here. Owner's a bit of a legend as well. ;)

 

But another car on my fleet...

[Carlstone13]

it's not a cappuccino! I already specified it's mid engined haha, and wow that sounds good!

[The Compensator]

Cayman.

[Milli]

Could be an Elise. Or a MGF/TF...

[Carlstone13]

haha nope, not a Porsche, I'm sticking with the 90's jap cars!

 

--- Post Updated ---

 

I actually wouldn't mind an elise....maybe another time haha

[Camel]

There aren't many cheap mid-engined cars that I can think of. :hmmm: Not that would be a lot cheaper than a Skyline. :mhmm:

 

Lotus Elise, MGF/TF, Clio V6, Vauxhall VX220 or a Porsche Boxter is all I can think off. :phil:

 

E: Well that's all my ideas out then :lol:

[Carlstone13]

haha none of those fit the bill of it being 90's and Japanese! though I do love a good Clio V6...saw one earlier today on the M4

[Milli]

Sticking with japanese cars?

 

It can be any MR2/MRS, a NSX, A Honda Beat or an AZ-1. Cheaper than Skyline, removes the NSX... AZ-1 is unlikely, so is the Beat. Scott mentioned the MR2 and he didn't deny it.

 

Edit:

 

Because 90's.

[Carlstone13]

you'd make a good detective haha, I'm neither confirming nor denying anything you said, however I will say it needs a bit of work and I think I got lucky with the price!

[Milli]

It's an MR2 guys...

[Carlstone13]

I'll admit it, it's an MR2, that one looks to be in better shape than mine though lol, I'll get a few pictures up over the coming days maybe, though I have a lot of plans for it yet

[The Compensator]

Well, that didn't take long, did it.

 

Nice.

[CarMadMike]

Please keep it as stock as possible :(

[Carlstone13]

nah it didn't, and thanks, it's defiantly a downgrade from the R33 but it's the best step towards owning my dream car so hopefully this time next year that's what I'll be behind the wheel of :)

 

And I'm not going to modify it much as I'm only planning to have it for 9 months to a year, but the bodywork needs some repairs and I'm going to re do the interior as the leather is ruined!

[calster17]

@Milli: Honda Beat's are rarer than the Cappo over here in the UK...and don't even ask about AZ1's. :lol:

 

Take care of it! The SW20's are good and seem to be reliable so onto a winner! But if it's been thrashed alot (which, alot of them have been) then look out, and if working on the engine is anything like the AW11 MR2's...then good luck! :lol:

Wish I was able to get my one back on the road, but alas it never happened.

[Carlstone13]

I have always liked the AZ1 but have never seen one for sale! and I'm quite lucky in that mechanically my SW20 runs like a dream, it's just the bodywork that's really taken a hit, the previous owner was a mechanic so I have some faith he knew what he was doing, it's virtually stock bar some alloy wheels and tinted windows, and is a heck of a lot of fun on the country roads that surround my home!

Oh and when I said it's technically a convertible I did mean that it has the T-bar roof, and I was shocked to find it doesn't leak :)

So is this MR2 Turbo'd or NA? If you got yourself a turbo manual T-top MR2 you have a somewhat uncommon to rare car. Well, depending where you live, I live in the US so I don't see too many MR2 with this combo.

[Carlstone13]

yeah it's manual and Turbo, I know I got lucky! cost under a grand!
