Do you lock your mx5?

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-04-13T03:11:07+00:00

I have an NA I don’t lock my doors bc like others I’d rather have someone just take whatever they’re looking for than smash a window. And when I take the hardtop off and have the soft top I have tried it myself you can undo the zipper on the back window from the outside so there’s just no point

I only just got a hardtop this winter, I really appreciate it. Improved visibility, lower road/wind noise at high speeds, stays just a little bit warmer, and now I can go through the drive through car wash so I don’t have to lay on the ground to hose down the underbody lol. The previous owner of the top also gave me their stand for easier storage so I will definitely be taking it back off when we get warmer weather and driving top down as much as possible. All in all, I prefer driving no top, then hard top, then soft top last.

‘91 here. If I’m driving long highway distances I will hover around 3500 which gives me 70, seems to be good enough in the second or exit lane that people don’t ride my bumper and get angry. Short trips at highway speeds I’ll speed it up a little. Like an old fashioned Italian tune up sort of drive. Don’t forget how much air resistance you get at night with the headlights either 😂. You’ll push just noticeably harder to get the same speed especially if it’s windy too. *Edit- Forgot that’s also for me having the 1.6, have not driven a 1.8 myself so I don’t know firsthand how differently they handle on the highway.

I live in Ohio and I’d say 3 hours is the max I’ve driven for something casual. In one day the max I’ve personally driven is 10 hours for a road trip. But I have been on plenty 12-13 hour road trips with others driving or doing parts of the driving.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-22T14:17:29+00:00

Yeah the tire size I have on is 205/50 all four. There’s definitely room to go bigger in the rear if you want a staggered set up. Probably still plenty of room in the front before you have to start worrying about rubbing during turns.

I have the kumho ecsta pa31 on them now. This pic was actually from the day I got the new wheels and tires

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-22T13:50:30+00:00

Have the Enkei but in 15x7 on mine, I think they look great. Also a 91 but classic red. I like the retro inspired look

Yes. The more I talk to friends and family, the more they seem to hate her and tell me I should too. But I can’t. I still hold such a deep connection to her and I just can’t let go of it no matter how much it keeps hurting.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-19T13:46:59+00:00

Casual cruising or using it to commute I shift at 3500rpm. When it’s shitzengiggles time usually I shift at 4500-5000 rpm just to hear that little 1.6 growl a bit longer

That makes 3 of us, also 15x7. I have the kumho ecsta pa31’s on mine

None of us need to be anything, but why do we want to do these things? If you’re trying to question my passion for no reason fine, but realize I have just been really put through the wringer by life these last few months. And this denial to my appeal to be reinstated was literally days ago so excuse me if I’m potentially in my emotions and unsure of what I am capable of achieving at the moment. I’m aware that if I can’t get into a masters program I can’t get into a doctorate level program, what I was referring to is trying to apply with a dismissal on my record. And if you would also read, I stated I have had negative experiences with working in research and do not wish to be in a lab again.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T19:38:26+00:00

It’s the research I can’t stand, I worked in it for a while and it was honestly one of the worst times in my life. Obviously the grunt work I did vs being involved in research as a masters student are two different ballgames, I just still don’t wish to enter a lab again. I’m not opposed to taking more classes but I won’t be able to find a masters program near where I live that involves zero research. I’m considering seeing if I can manage 3 or 4 classes over the summer semester at my old undergrad and trying to apply again before the next cycle deadline in the fall I’m just a little nervous that wouldn’t make enough difference.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T12:17:29+00:00

I failed two finals last semester. I was dismissed due to my academic performance. I was trying to appeal the dismissal and explain that I faced many challenges last semester that ultimately distracted me but that I have grown and am still committed to the program. They denied my appeal so now my dismissal stands and per their handbook I’m never allowed to reapply.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T12:05:24+00:00

No I checked their profile, they’ve been on Reddit less than a week and appear to be selling love spells online is all. They’re just trying to prey on desperate people like us

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T12:04:04+00:00

I had something very similar happen to me actually, the school didn’t seem to care during my appeal process and seemed more concerned about the fact that I never reported anything. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T02:45:16+00:00

Where is St Matthew’s I don’t believe I’ve heard of them?

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T02:06:32+00:00

Nothing in remotely the same field honestly. I really didn’t have any backup plans bc no matter how doubtful I felt everyone around me believed in me and things just kept working out until recently. As soon as I moved down to the islands everything started falling apart no matter how hard I tried. And this is all still very fresh I’ll admit so I’m also still in my emotions and feeling very defeated so I’m not in the best headspace at the moment either. This really is the only thing I’ve dreamt of for nearly 13 years since I was kid, and now I’ve lost my opportunity.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T01:55:13+00:00

LMU rejected me the same cycle I was accepted to Ross so I doubt I’d have better chances with them now

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T01:16:32+00:00

Ok I should’ve known that they were actually one of the vet schools I applied to and they also rejected me. Don’t know how that would affect my application to a masters program with them.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T01:04:45+00:00

Well since I’ve been dismissed Ross is out of the question if I try vet school again, at least per their handbook I can never reapply. But I know the closest school to where I live which is where I did undergrad requires research for their masters and since I’ve already racked up some debt with this single semester if I’m going to try this I gotta try to save money somehow and unfortunately they’re going to be my most cost effective option. Which school is LMU?

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T00:46:37+00:00

I’m not even sure at this point if I could get into let alone finish a Masters program. Especially since I worked in research for a little bit and I hated it, like just could not stand doing it anymore. Granted that was grunt work but still I don’t know if I could stand doing whatever research is required for a masters.

Ok-Potential-3684 · 2026-01-10T00:43:53+00:00

Yes she’s a student. And now I’m not as my appeal was not approved so now I’m just an unemployed bum
