The dream of a small sports car - the heart of the Mazda MX-5 to share the path of the relationship

The Roc spreads its wings to the town building picture

Off-topic, in the matter of choosing a car, for many years, basically a niche route, 15 years in April to get a driver's license, I chose a second-hand 09 Honda Spider, 12 years of the car, the condition is very good. After this, the big idea to follow me around the world, through thick and thin, never halfway to put down, but also witnessed a lot of great things in my life.

2.4L sub-top model, power is enough, configuration is also enough to use, the key quality is really good [hee hee] [hee hee] [hee hee]

19 years in January, taking into account the gradual growth of children in the family as well as the family's travel needs, the family purchased a "don't touch me" SUV, and so the majority of the circumstances The SUV has become a commuter vehicle, and the Dasi is more often than not parked in the underground garage to eat dust [大哭][大哭][大哭][大哭].................

In the second half of 19 years, a very good friend said he wanted to buy my Dasi, so the price of friendship on the resale of him. Actually, I was really torn in my heart when I sold the car, but since I promised my friend, I didn't have any reason to back out. At least I can still see her from time to time...? Divided line --------- ------? A few months after the car was sold, I thought about buying a car again. After all, every day home from work to take a taxi is not a small expense (work reasons, late from work, the car is basically the wife drove home), coupled with this sudden epidemic at the beginning of the year, worried about the taxi is not safe and not good to play, why not buy a car it? At this time and remembered that before living in the neighborhood underground garage in the old super spiritual BMW 320 standard axle, put the eye on the so-called most beautiful BMW 3 Series E46, under the coincidence? I saw an '04 330ci on Idle Fish and thought this is probably the one for me. Straight six engine, 252 horsepower, soft top convertible, the owner also changed the beautiful wheels ... [color] [color] [color]

Exterior seems to be very full of spirit [sneer] [sneer] [sneer] [sneer]

(but still have to spit out a little bit: the owner of the car affixed to the Japanese and the wind of the interior really do not appreciate it) and then added the seller's WeChat, and later learned that the seller also specializes in selling wheels. The seller is also a full-time seller of wheels, do repair, modification, people quite real. Here, perhaps someone asked, this guy is not running the wrong forum? [Sneer] [Sneer] [Sneer] Look at the official you and a little peace and quiet, listen to me slowly come ...? Based on the basic knowledge of BMW, Audi and other brands, such as oil burning, engine or transmission leakage, or let me can not help but ask more friends' opinions. There is an old brother's statement y convinced me - more than 10 years of BMW should not be called BMW, should be called "sick donkey" (just a sentence of analogy, the old BMW enthusiasts lightly beat [fist] [fist] [fist] [fist]). So...the MX-5 surfaced, and it was the same guy who made the "Sick Donkey" comment that gave me the drug of the trade earlier in the year. But want to find a car in good condition is really not easy, see the forum seniors said that the transfer of 8 hands, 10 hands of the car have, Ningbo, the rumors of this used car market and "deep bottomless", or drag acquaintances and friends to find more reliable. That said, the sale is not love in, so the sale of wheels and also sell the car's brother became my biggest push to find the MX5, with his own words: wild road small Chen, people also talk a lot of hard! [Naughty] [Naughty] [Naughty] This guy also really wild road, not a few days to tell me that there is a car in very good condition MX5 to sell, about a time to his store to see the car. And so began the journey with MIATA.

I saw you at first, so beautiful in the crowd [shy] [shy] [shy] [shy]

March 1, and the owner of the appointment to meet, in the elevated test drive round, because it was raining on the day, did not dare to drive too fast, the overall feeling is not bad, the car chassis is very whole. After returning to the store, the lift up to view the chassis, shocks, engine, transmission, basically no problem, there is no sign of any oil leakage. The cabin is open and clean, and it seems that the original owner of the car is also a person who loves the car; there are no traces of major accidents in the details, and there are no traces of water, which is considered to be the "best" condition of the car in 2009, right?

The cabin is neat and clean [strong] [strong] [strong]

Next, we talked to the owner about some of the car's past, the first owner of a woman in Hangzhou, purchased in 2009, drove more than 60,000 kilometers, the entire 4S store maintenance records complete. The second owner is a young man, 2 years about 20,000 kilometers, but this young man did not less toss the car, but only through that was sprayed into the green brake calipers to recall (red with green?). What the hell was the idea). The third owner is to sell my car "middle-aged Agassi" [laughs] [laughs] [laughs] [laughs], he asked a third party to do a car inspection report before the receipt of the car, the car inspection report basically coincides with my friend and I judgement: no major accidents, no water soak. This is basically assured, the same day to negotiate a good price, paid a deposit. But there is a small hiccup is: the owner of the car a few days ago when driving accidentally by the road boulder knocked the Yuanbao beam and engine guard, need to repair, as well as the owner's brother wants to keep the license plate photo, so the transfer time is about March 25th. [torture] [torture] [torture]? During this period, the owner brother went to the 4S store to the knocked Yuanbao beams and engine guards and so on all replaced with a new one (go insurance, more than 8000); and I began to turn the red small 5 into a variety of up and down in my mind to seek. Divided into the following chapters: 1, body color - the original red paint is not bad, but I personally feel that the year looks a little old-fashioned, and I am a pure man who drove a red car looks a little sissy; but the red is quite by my wife and mother-in-law to see. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on a car, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a good deal on a car with a good deal on a car.

Bright!

The first thing I did after taking possession of the car was to "change my shoes"

Black Mamba, in honor of my big brother

Dorky face

Smaller buttocks

But the car, which should have been my car most of the time, was eventually changed to a gray color similar to the first one! --The car has not yet arrived, the car film have been ordered [nose] [nose] [nose] [nose] too anxious

Watch the video of the Jitterbug and ordered this color, in fact, belongs to the moment of impulse, swatches have not seen before ordered. The heart silently worried about sticking out is not good [mouth] [mouth] [mouth] [mouth]

Site construction, worried about the effect of sticking out, sneak to the factory to see

Night then go [embarrassed] indoor lighting this color with my heart expectations have deviation. [The first time I saw the film, I was able to see the color of the tires, and I was able to see the color of the tires, and I was able to see the color of the tires, and I was able to see the color of the tires. The license must be changed back to the original tires, wheels

2, wheels and tires - the day of the receipt of the car, another brother who drove the MX5 (the day of the acquaintance of the brother) gave advice, said that after you buy a car it is best to change out the wheels and tires, the original size of the tires of this small car in the slippery road is easy to tail, sell the car to my big brother also said so! So I combined the opinions of several brothers who drive mx5, sell mx5, and sell wheels, and customized a new set of wheels and 215 tires. Customized wheels drawn by the BMW 330ci owner himself, original center hole size, wheel data for 17*7.5?et38, black glossy paint, reserved for modifying the 330 brake disc position (it seems that the brothers look at my stance to know that sooner or later I will change the brakes [tears])

Hubcaps are customized according to my request, MAMBA is forever OUT, but the big brother will always be in the heart [ Fist][Fist][Fist]

The original green calipers were sprayed red with self-painting when the wheels were swapped out, at least they don't look out of place.

The tires ended up being the relatively well-balanced MA MC5, size: 215?45?R17. I bought the 360's built-in tire pressure detector on some treasure, but I just didn't want that external sensor to ruin the beauty of the wheel itself. [snicker][snicker][snicker]? Incidentally: wheel tires are also ordered before the car arrived, why am I so anxious? 3, shocks and brakes - the time of receipt of the car, the owner's brother has just changed the 2 original rear shocks, perhaps in the change of the Bode stranded shocks of the car friends of the poison, of course, but also in order to reduce the body, and finally in the modification workshop brother's advice to choose a relatively high cost-effective DWD street version. The brakes themselves do not intend to change, but when driving high speed feel the original brakes are soft, confidence is not quite enough (may also be because of the change of slightly wider tires, better grip), in the tuning workshop brother's advice ordered a large four-piston ROTORA calipers, with 330 willow leaf discs

Adaptive NC

Brake kit [color] [color] [color] [color] this red is beautiful! Much more

Installation of shocks and brakes

Completely stuffed, full and powerful. I personally test the original brake pump to push the big four-piston

Currently driving has been about 1500 kilometers, braking performance OK, the shock still need to slightly adjust the hardness, the other temporarily not found insufficient. 4, taillight -- Speaking of the taillight, poisoned only because of the forum of a predecessor of the picture.

That's you! This taillight is simply too handsome!

This Japanese is also not recognized ah! What should I do? Find someone! A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend...I sent a picture to the Japanese side, and gave the frame number to the past, and I was told that I could order it, and the delivery period was about a month, and the price was as written on the picture above. Immediately pay off the full amount, the next is to scratch the heart and lungs waiting.

March 2 order, March 30 arrival [hee hee] [hee hee] [hee hee]

This light why worth so much money, in addition to the value of the lamp bracket hand-built, the lamp source with the HELLA LED bulb, waterproof measures first-class! -A penny for a penny ah ......

New taillights VS original taillights, who would you choose?

With this body color also looks good

Tail lights changed at the same time, the headlights replaced the LED high beam bulbs, the brightness is greatly improved, safety is guaranteed [hee hee]?5, oil and water, accessories health care - in addition to the coolant has not been changed, almost a head of all replaced.

Big health food

List:?a. Speed Horsepower 5W-30 fully synthetic oil 5L?b. Kondo transmission fluid 6L, gravity replacement, more than used as a replacement of steering booster oil?c. Replacement of the transmission filter and sump pads (Razorback the same model), cleaning the transmission sump.d. ATE?SL6 brake fluid.e. NGK iridium spark plugs 4 f.

HSK's DSR engine cleaner (antidote), poured into the engine after idling for 30 minutes after the release of the oil, the oil is black, may be useful for this thing, and after refueling added a bottle of DDR fuel additives (poison)?h. A pair of original foot, the original differential oil, the Ma6 intake manifold solenoid valve, the original air filter, the original belt , stock hood liner (the stock one had a big hole chewed in it by a mouse) ...... That's all I can think of, I'll update later when I think of it.? After the big health care, the idle vibration became very small, the throttle response feels much better, no stuttering, the engine sound is also good, still have to continue to experience it carefully and slowly.

After running the mountain and coming back to wash white, stinky posing

Side face. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea to get a good look at the MX5," he said!

One operation is as fierce as a tiger, all the acquisitions and replacements are basically all in place before the transfer, except for the taillight that floats across the sea in Japan. I am thankful for the support and help of friends, family, and fellow enthusiasts during these days. I'm also thankful that the MX-5 is close to what I had in mind for my ideal look...but I may consider an interior refurbishment at a later stage [G.I.][G.I.][G.I.][G.I.]? Tossed after the next to complete a "feat": Ching Ming holiday alone driving a small 5 back to the old home (epidemic factor is one, the big car was driven away by the family another trip), encountered my round-trip Huangshan - Ningbo's most congested course in history, to go to 10 hours, back to the 7 hours [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] [crying] back to the back after the pain in the 3 days .... . even the bones are painful! In the future more than 2 hours on the highway resolutely do not drive a small car, too hard! But this round trip total ****1200 kilometers of total mileage really let me understand more about the small 5, the new brakes are basically well-broken, the effect of oil road health care also came out ... ... is not a small gain [pleased] [pleased] [pleased] [pleased]? Some people may say that it's not wise at all for you to spend all that money on an impractical big toy! And also spend so much money to modify, you are not stupid? There are also people who say "Look at him, spending money on a used sports car, or a small Japanese Mazda, poor but still fucking pretentious!" There are also people who say, "Hey! Your car is expensive, right? You're so rich!" I can't stop the many mouths, and do not require everyone can understand me, 35-year-old uncle also have to seize the tail of youth to capricious a [laughs] [laughs] [laughs] [laughs] Although the youth has long gone with the years, but the human heart should still retain some love and obsession. Because of love, life may also have a little more color, because of love, "she" has become a unique in the world of small horse [hee hee] [hee hee] [hee hee]

Open the convertible top, the mountain walk, there are always some delightful sights and you do not expect to meet, in fact, this is enough to be worth it!
