    Love Phil, Love the channel. I wonder about the weight balance. I would have choose carbon for the engine bonnet (hood) and light battery. With a big engine on front and carbon at the rear, it has to be nose heavy. PS: Please put the lights down drag racing it ;)

    @Alpha Bravo Great answer, thanks! And yes, hard to believe the V6 is not heavier. Maybe a suspension adjustment can get around it? I wish Phil was a hard top for chassis stiffness (but I can be wrong again).

    What a wonderfully put together film, and equally put together car. What a journey you two have been on, and congrats for sticking with it. As much as I love MX-5s (I currently have two), I don't think I could ever spend £25,000 on one, but that's not an insult as what you've done is clearly a labour of love. I recently spent over £2,000 on of mine to bring it back to life and even that felt like a small fortune! I hope Phil still makes appearances on the channel and I'd love to see him in real life.

It gave me power and patience to buy my own first car a ,little mk4 ford fiesta named "Clementine" and make a complete restoration on it with my ideas, my sweat, my blood, my tears and my lovely family and friends. That is the power of car community. There are so many other hobbies in this world so many other groups and i have a huge respect to all of them. But us people Alex, Ethan, Gareth all the Carthrottle family and you yes the one who's kindly reading this; i want to say i love all of you guys! and THANK YOU!!!

    Now that's F-ing something. Getting the main man who designed the car in the late 80's to ride in your well modified well loved version of his creation, and he genuinely seemed to enjoy your version of his baby. Well done dude. And on a side note, just earlier today I went to look at an 04' RX8 same color as Phil which has a ruined engine, I'm thinking v8 swap but not an LS... hopefully I can get the seller down a bit on the price and get into to, this is motivating. :)

    I have a simple Mitsubishi Lancer GLX 1.3 liter petrol 1998. It's not fancy, the performance obviously isn't there, but i just happens to love it. It's my second car i've owned, and this one will be with me as long as i live ( hoppe not to crash it ). This series, seen you working on Phil, all the hard work and joy, the feeling of acomplishment, makes me love my litle lancer even more. I wanted to keep my lancer as close as OEM as possible, but now i want to make a 4WD convertion on it. Thinking on a v6 twin turbo from a 3000GT 4WD, keep all the interiour bits and stuff as AC, Power steering. A street vehicle with good performance. Not a race build, but he will make me happy. Thanks a lot for the inspiration. Thanks for buying Phill. Best for you two. Cheers.

When I got out, my dad and I went halves on a '90 NA that we're going to race in Spec Miata this coming season. So it really is a community
