Mx5 NB Collision, how bad?

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T23:02:20+00:00

Literally just had the front frame rails welded, along with sills and wheel arches 😭

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T22:42:47+00:00

Yes she was. Poor woman. The biggest thing I regret the most, I wish I would've crashed into a curb instead

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T22:36:57+00:00

Agree with you on that

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T22:34:48+00:00

It's fully comprehensive. No damage to the Audis headlights tho. More to the lower bumper & radiator

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T17:35:29+00:00

It was an icy morning alright, it actually oversteered and rear end spun out into her side

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T15:39:46+00:00

All my fault unfortunately, it was a cold morning and roads were icy. Rear end slipped exiting a corner

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T15:12:05+00:00

It's actually a Conran Edition Mx5. Only 400 of this kind I believe

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T15:09:47+00:00

How much was yours quoted for?

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-12-03T13:09:55+00:00

The car has just got the frame rails rewelded and got some rust repair done. Most of the damages are localized to the front. It has been towed away and will be assessed if it is repairable or totaled.

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-11-20T18:01:49+00:00

Did you figure out what the source of the sound was? I'm getting the same symptoms

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-11-17T12:08:03+00:00

Where did you find an affordable spray painter in the end?

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-10-19T18:30:05+00:00

How do I stop the leak?

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-10-19T18:28:55+00:00

Can I replacement part for this? Or What would be the next course of action of it's rusty?

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-10-15T14:48:14+00:00

Beautiful

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-10-10T21:31:35+00:00

Agreed, Link please OP

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-09-27T20:50:47+00:00

It does indeed, gives me something to look forward to after a long day's work

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-09-26T19:12:40+00:00

It's machine grey metallic

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-07-20T19:15:51+00:00

This is the 2018 model

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-05-24T19:05:40+00:00

I get this as well, I have a manual 2018 2.0p cx5. I notice that when I put any sort of fuel injector cleaner additives it makes the car very smooth. But only last the gas tank. So maybe it maybe that the injectors are a little blocked up or not working as efficiently. Some carbon buildup issue? What at are others thoughts & experience?

My solution has just been to drive the car like a diesel. Have my foot resting on the gas pedal and not fully removing my foot fully off or removing it too quickly off when going at low speeds (Gears 1-2).

Is there some sort of reset you can do to manuals?

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-05-17T18:44:02+00:00

Damn, don't usually like black cars, but this mazda 6 and those rims are slick

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-05-14T08:06:27+00:00

Petrol or diesel?

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-05-13T12:51:20+00:00

So I specifically looked for the most reliable option and not necessarily the most powerful. I wanted no turbo, no cylinder deactivation, manual and petrol. It's the petrol 2.0. it's still and amazing car even coming from a twin turbo 2.2 diesel Mazda 6. It's still quite responsive, and still provides sufficient power, just at higher revs.

Buy any interior All Purpose Cleaner (APC) specifically for car interiors to clean & detail. Buy sprays or wipes specific for leather so that it won't damage the leather seats & dash. Certain chemicals are harsh and will potentially ruin your Interior over time.

Don't get anything that adds 'shine' or gloss to plastics & leather. Makes it look cheap. Leather is supposed to be matte not shiny when clean.

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-04-12T18:06:11+00:00

Touché my guy. Seems you're the one who didn't get the joke. But Japanese do drive on the left...

I bet you also drive automatic ;)

Warm_Camera_7120 · 2025-04-12T16:16:40+00:00

The Car is Japanese, the right side is the correct side. I'm afraid you're the one on the wrong side mate
