I talked to my brother about that one.........

well done

Q: does it come with log books etc, or have those kms been wound back a bit (hence the price)

Very nice, well done, crazy price for an S2. A little clean up and it will look great, now enjoy the wait... That is the worst bit by far, I hope you get lucky and get it on a ship soon!

Cheers

Luke

as craig says - nothing ... always trust the sales person, especially the one with no liability if something goes wrong (TRUST ME wink wink experiance wink, they dont have any liability if the cars a lemon)

mike, sorry, dont mean to ruin your excitement. I am sure it will turn out fine in the end.

Not guaranteeing that it is perfect or that there isn't something wrong with it but I did see a few similar S2 Sale prices at auction when I was searching. I think if they have high KM's are pretty stock and a little rough around the edges they can be extremely hard to sell in the Japanese market, so I think it is a plausible price. Bargain if it works out pretty much.

Luke

True - all the best with it. So what if it costs a grand here and there to fix up a couple of minor issues, a bargain either way you look at it.

Considering that 12months ago S2 were minimum 19k private or 26k car yard.

i apreciate the input alex now how DO you spell pesimist lol

No in all seriousness its pretty cheap; I guess just have a few dollars set aside "just in case". Thats all. Hell - a 25k Stagea with GTR engine and gearbox sounds pretty good to me ! :)

When I bought mine for 18k I had 5k set aside for repairs if needed, and once I knew it wasnt needed the mods began! LOL

Pessimist

haha nice.

i think all he's saying mike is that it is an odd-ish find, be wary. no harm in that. there's a difference between pessimism and caution.

i doubt the car will have dramas, i cant remember who said it, but yes it will be just because of its higher kms, and that fact that some are for sale with kms as low as 19. to sell one which such comparitively high kms, price needs to be low.

i saw similar cars just abandoned in japan, cos its cheaper than having them crushed, and less hassle than selling.

yeah i think a lot of people that import and get exactly what they thought they were getting dont know just how lucky they are. can be stressful, but can be very worthwhile.

if there are any issues, im sure we will all jump onboard to help out, anyway.

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
