    hello from italy!

    Hi all.
    I've been owning my brg 1.8 mx5 since 1995 and I'm now having a substantial upgrade work being done.
    Unfortunately regulations in Italy are very strict so heavy mods on engines are not allowed unless you want your car being confiscated and your driving license being ripped by a cop...
    On top of this, aftermarket parts are virtually impossible to find in Italy so everything must be imported with heavy prices.
    Despite all of that I hope I can make good friends on this forum and hopefully find some parts I'm looking for at decent prices.
    Cheers
    Andrea
    P.S. Before you ask, Andrea is a boy's name in Italy
    P.S. For some reasons I can't upload pics of my car. Will try again

    Welcome, I have an uncle that also lives in Italy. He drives a shiny, red Escort 2.0 Turbo. What kind of upgrades are you installing?

    Welcome Andrea!

    Lots of BRG cars on this forum, I'm sure you'll find some inspiration to import some very expensive stuff.
