Well yer, that one is one of only a few hundred made ( 3.6 litre single turbo ) so might be a wee bit out of the price range. But i know that the C2 is within your budget.

They are a very sweet car to drive still prone to the lift off over steer as old porkers are but a more nimble car is hard to find i think you would enjoy the drive most people i have in the car do. and if you want to buy it mate i can fit you into slot 59 on the to buy list :-)

And yer on the right track with the lotus we are just about to convert an S1 elise into a exsige with the K20 honda conversion kit, infact engine was delivered yesterday. That is going to be our 24 hour race car in class 3

LOL, i am yet to have somebody link me to a race classified website that i have not stumbled accross in my years of dreaming. That one is my particular favourite for Grp A Sierras and GT2/3 Porkas :)

Group A is for pussies.

What you need is an RS200.

There are six of them here:

as much as I reckon the maclaren would be right up troys alley, I like him the way he is now..... alive.

I'll let him have himself an shelby mustang GT500 though. they don't list a price so it must be super cheap....lol

Troy will be fine. Just remind him to clip the rear body work on properly. As an aside did you realise that Jimmy Stone (of SBR fame) used to work on the McLaren Can-Am cars. He was there that awful day....

Yeah POA is a euphamism for cheap.

Maybe just buy a new shell. Seriously - new.

    • 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).
