no race km, engine not tested. I purchased engine after it was taken out of car.

Just checked with my machanic who found me this engine, it wasn't out of a half cut like I thought. It was from a going R32 GTS-t. Engine purchased from another workshop who was doing some high performance stuff to the owners car and onsold this engine after it was removed. Was ensured it was a fine engine.

i was gonna ask about compression of cyl and also if there are any known oil leaks or issues with engine.

engine has no oil leaks, I was going to strip it and race prepare it, but I am also confident speaking with the people who I purchased it from, it's a sound engine. If I had been able to compression test the engine I probably would have listed it for $1000

:action-smiley-069: so your selling it for $690 and assuring us that its spot on and you trust your mechanic but if you were to compression test it you would want $310 more :happy:

Not trying to cause trouble just find that interesting and amusing at the same time!!!

Not at all, what i find amusing is that your stating the engine as being in excellent condition out of a running car but you dont know the compression of the engine, it hasn't had a leak down test. You said if it had been compression tested then you would ask more and that is the part i find amusing as personally dont think it helps your sale!!!

If the engine is as good as your claiming then why not ask more straight up seeing as they are harder to come by in good working order???

Oh and for the record id never buy an engine that i couldn't compression test :D

Ben, have you read all posts? I have never stated the engine is in excellent condition. I believe it a sound engine given the information from people I know and trust. So having siad that, this engine is obveiously being sold in as is condition. I could have lied to other members and said it has been tested and it's fine. So given all the facts Ben, I don't believe I could expect anyone to pay more. Does that sound logical to you?

If your not interested in buying this engine than please don't bother replying

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
