    Thanks everyone! :) I've put some pics up in the Garage section, but I'll throw a couple in here with a spec-list off the top of my head...

    1991 Mazda NA6CE MX5 (UKDM) - Lotus Elan S1 chassis
    1600cc B6 4-cyl engine (EFI DOHC)

    SS-Autochrome 4-2-1 exhaust manifold

    Timing Advanced to 14deg BETD
    K&N drop-in panel filter

    Spax RSX adjustable coil-overs (32pt damping, 9.6kg/mm spring rates)
    Custom four wheel alignment/damping settings
    270mm disc rotors from NA8, Axxis Ultimate pads, Super Blue fluid
    Sportmax 002 15x8J ET0 wheels, Toyo T1-R 195/50/15 tyres (@28PSI)
    Carbing 4-pt roll cage w/ harness bar
    Tein strut tower brace (front)

    aimg168.imageshack.us_img168_9493_27279568zf4.jpg

    Bride Zeta3 fixed-back racing seat
    Sabelt Clubman 4-pt harness

    Soft-top, all sound-proofing, spare wheel and charcoal canister removed. Weighed with 25l of fuel at roughly ~970kg. Engine dyno'd at 118.8bhp/105.3lb-ft. As a stock car, she hit 16.8 @ 81mph and 0-60 in 8.1 seconds, which were the exact figures Mazda released back in 1989! Not bad considering knackered Goodyear tyres, and performed in the snow. Currently, she'd probably hit a late 15 and mid 7 second 60 time, though I don't think the trap speed would be much higher. She's good for a sub-7 minute lap of the Nurburgring though. :D
