Swap for my car plus cash your way? Check the link on my signature for more info.

Also, does this car have the pop-up sat nav factory option and dual zone climate control? And how many ks has the motor done? Anything remotely wrong with it that I should know about--any leaks, rattles etc.?

Pretty interested...

It does have the factory sat nav and dual zone climate control. The only thing is, I haven't converted

it to english. It's done 48000 kms. The only thing wrong with it is the front bumper. No leaks or rattles.

I get it serviced at Lister Automotive in Belmont. If you are interested in having a look at each others cars,

maybe we can catch up during the week or next weekend. I had a look at the photo's of your car. It looks

pretty tidy. Talk to you soon.

Ah ok, well we can have more of a chat once we see each others cars.

The body on my car is completely straight and hasn't been in any accidents in the 5 years that I've owned it. Front bar has a small lower lip crack though and body needs little touching up in a few areas. Other than that, the car is mechanically fine and runs well in the current state of tune (297rwkw@5800rpm/17.5psi). Engine has travelled around 8000kms since I've had it rebuilt so it's well and truly worn in and ready for the final tune with the new ECU. Minor oil changes and maintenance is done by me and major servicing, tuning and everything else is always performed at A.R.T. in West Heidelberg.

I would be willing to bring the car for you to have a look/test drive but the gearbox is currently in the process of being replaced due to the input shaft bearing getting noisy and 5th gear crunching more frequently. I've ordered a new gearbox from Japan over 2 months ago and the container has finally arrived in Melb last week. We still can't empty it until the middle of next week unfortunately so I won't be able to organise anything with you until possibly the week after once the new box has been installed. Price will still stay the same ($17,500) once this is done.

However, the new ECU (Power FC) and new boost controller (AVC-R) which has not been installed and tuned isn't factored into the price as of yet. I'll sell the car as is at the current price which is negotiable without these 2 items and without the Work rims. Or the price will be slightly revised if they are to be fully installed and tuned (Power FC=$1200, AVC-R=$700 is what I paid for these two parts and also tuning is roughly another $1000).

Let me know what your thoughts are and the cash adjustment amount you are wanting. I'll get back to you once the gearbox is done. Will be in touch very soon.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to see if there was any interest. Thinking of getting a new bumper and keeping the car because there

doesn't seem to be anyone interested. Let me know.

Cheers

Not for sale anymore due to lack of interest and too many wankers. I'm better off keeping it than getting f**ked around.

:)

was in the same boat when i was selling my V35 end of last year; everyone for some reason things that V35 can be brought for free !!!!

understand that there is too many if them for sale considering the target market for imports

Look for a bumper in Import monster and get a red one, if you have the patience you will find one eventually, so you can fit it your self

Ignore above post about it not being for sale anymore. Momentary brain fade. It's definitely still up for sale. The things

you say when you take too much panadol and mix it with beer lol.

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
