i think the problem 1st of all is the older version are 1.6 i think and its pretty underpowered ?
but the current 1.8 and the new turbocharged version should be a hell lot better.. yeah as long it has LSD, should be a fun drift softtop :)

:) Insert an aftermarket supercharger into the 1.6 engine might b good enough....my 2 cents ...

MX-5 has viscious lsd.... so probably need to change the lsd to an aftermarket unit. Yeah i think 1.6L is pretty underpowered. For those hardcore mx5 fans, can consider 13B swaps.

Wat he meant was dont think it's possible.. coz he usually blind folds himself
when he drifts..and he thinks kurt doesnt have the skill to do it yet...

:lol:

Blackie: I think if you were to ask for your money back , he'll give it to you as that was what I did when it happen to me..he's actually an ok guy , its just that his delivery period depends on alot of factors that he has no control of.
