OK i might have to sell this un-completed. I have had this car getting built up for some time now and may have to part with it as the bank is telling me i need something newer. I have never even seen this car let alone driven it, im in WA and its in QLD. I baught this from a SAU member 6 months ago. Im very sad to have to do this, after such a long wait all i want to do is drive it.

Its at Gavin Wood Autotech on the gold coast now having the motor put together, just waiting on some final parts and then its ready to go.

It then needs to go back to the panel beaters and have the front end put back together (Had the bay resprayed).

Then needs to be complied.

I have prices on all remaining work and have organized it all (please call for more details)

Car details are:

99 Series 2

Pearl white

Stock rims, kit etc

Parts included:

Forged Pistons

Forged Rods

Trust cams

Trust Head gasket

Tomei sump baffel

Tomie oil restrictor

2 x new Garret 2860-7's

All new gaskets through out

N1 oil pump

Excedy Cerametalc clutch

Block has been machined

crank balanced etc

All new parts

The engine needs final assembly and some parts still to be paid for.

Basically if someone wants to take over from where i have left off im happy to let it go, WILL NOT SEPERATE PARTS.

There is roughly one months work to go, so if someone was looking at importing a 260RS for the same time frame you can get one with a built motor and new turbo's etc.

Im looking at around 30k as it sits now, im open to offers please call for more details as its hard to descride what im offering.

I think it did come from the goldcoast from memory was 6months ago. Yeah will be a strong car, built for reliablity and response. Im so spewing about this, last thing i needed was to lose more money on a car.

Forgot to put in the original post will sell for $35,000FIRM with the only thing new buyer would need to pay for would be complience, which i have a price on.

Or $30,000ono and the new owner takes over as it is now.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
