Hi everyone. :) I've had a Mazda MX5 for the past 6 years and have done loads to it over the years. I know there not to everyones taste, but here's a few pictures anyway.

Its a 1997 1.8 fitted with an emange blue that currently running my supercharger with 150mm crank overlay and air/water intercooler. I have larger injectors, uprated pump O2 clamp and an Innovate LC-1 kit.

 

After 5 years of ownership, I've now had enough of my five and am looking at getting rid of it for a TT Supra. Is there any specific problem that Supra's suffer from that I need to keep an eye out for?

 

Are there any members close to Stafford that would be willing to let me take a look at their car, as I've not had the chance to look at one properly.[OOPS][/OOPS]

Thanks for the replies. They are fantastic little cars, and I'm gonna miss it when it goes. I fitted the charger myself and have had fun with it, but its time for a change.

 

I'm 45 years old and have fancied a Supra for some time, although I'm a little weary of having an Auto, as I've only ever had a manual. The car will be my daily driver so needs to be reliable. I know there not cheap to run, but my five is only doing about 25 to the gallon due to the addictive supercharger whine.:D

You shouldn't be put of by the auto, they're one of the best auto box's ever, very quick kickdown and doesn't detract from the performance of the supra. You'll struggle to beat 25 mpg even in an n/a, so isn't gonna be any better than your mx-5 in that respect. Anyway nice looking car and welcome.
