I'm trying to sell my Clio 182 with the intention of buying a MX5 NA, and fitting throttle bodies. Is yours a 1.6 or 1.8 model?
This limited edition won my heart.

Mine's a 1.8, but it depends on how deep you're planning to go really, an early 1.6 would be very close to a later 1.8, but a later 1.6 is a big step down in power.
That's really nice! Is it a Jenvey kit?
My dream build would be 1.8 VVT swapping an NA, then adding ITBs and nitrous.

After looking at silly cars for a silly amount of time, it still feels like a 182 is actually the weekend car I’m after (I just need to make the extra money for it not to be an absurd expense, lol).
How was running it, fairly economical as a fun car? Phaser pulleys and other maintenance stuff manageable?

It does make me want a tiny bit more noise, either turbo or exhaust or both. It's amazing what a bit of aural excitement can do to add to the theatre and make the experience more enjoyable without adding any performance.
Driving the MX5 yesterday, the intake noise from the throttle bodies, and the bangs and flames from the exhaust make it seem so much faster and fun, despite being nearly 1/3 of the power.
