They didn't seem to keep this car long, Seems a little bit dear compared to others on the net, but then again they don't look anywhere near as sexy as this one - nor are they as modified :(

On Car Sales

They had it for well over a year!!!

Id buy it!

Makes me regret my car now!

if you add up what has been spent it doesn't seem to overpriced to me.

for example:

9k = car

5k=bodywork

2.5k=wheels/tyres

say...8k=engine (labor+parts)

2k=susp

2k=turbo

1.5=powerfc

that's probably not everything but it's already totalled way more than 24k

i'm in no way affiliated to the owner and that's just a rough guesstimate, i don't think it's too overpriced at all.

obviously HPI would have recieved benefits for some of the things (labour/parts) however it seems to be a pretty solid car to buy into.

Have you tried to sell an extensivly modified import in the last 12 months?

I refer to my mate having trouble selling a clean manual T67 equipped

Soarer for 12.5k, and this-

If it was rego'd perhaps it would make a little more sense.. Its still running an RB20 box I believe. Also most of the parts they have fitted aren't the more expensive brands. Though that won't matter to some.

89-90 R32 GTRs with upgraded turbos and 400rwhp+ sell for this price though, and even cheaper....

Very unique ride however :action-smiley-069:

aka timebombs :wub:

I think everyone wants something for nothing these days, seems reasonably priced to me, that RB24 would have cost a bomb to build, mates rates or not.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
