At that time it was a standard NB 1.8 just with a lightened flywheel and a decat single box system and an ME221 ECU just running an off the shelf map for an exocet.
Was about to say I don't have any videos of it from the outside but there's this one of the 2018 Dungannon Springfling Targa in Windmill Wood, just around 2 mins in.

Some photos of the new brakes I fitted recently, Wilwood 12.88" discs with 6 piston calipers finished in red. It was a pretty straightforward installation process (hardest part was getting the specified 271 Loctite). Also bought a inch-pound torque wrench to ensure the bolts were torqued to spec and changed the brake fluid whilst at it. Painted the rear calipers red to match. Braking well, firm pedal,no vibrations, and looks good under the black rims.

@gav525 cheers Gav
@Todd thanks Todd, pretty happy so far
@Ruairi83 appreciate it, just not totally 100% on the height of the rear
@Ben P cheers Ben
@soupz thank you, getting there!
@Boydie 100% agree on the rear. Looking at it now parked outside, it is sitting level, but sometime when it looks high at the back. Not sure if it sits lowers when Im in it either. I think the only option will be coilovers if I want a precise ride height.

Set of Meisters..... You'll not regret it. Those fellas (Jerrick was the name) know mx5s inside out and helped me get mine set up perfectly. Pre tension is dialled in separately to your rebound. Dual perch design means that ride height adjustments dont effect the damping dynamics.@gav525 cheers Gav

Zeta CRD on mine. If you don't intend tracking the car, they're great. Spring rates are tuned for fast road use. A good upgrade over OE but not at all thrashy.
They have 32 stages of adjustment. I was told exactly how many mm of pre tension to dial into each corner before fitting.
Then... Set fully hard and click back to the desired rebound setting. You set the rears 2 clicks softer... Then have fun finding the sweet spot! I think I'm on -10F -12R now.
