so he bought it? still on carsales.

great looking car :(

just hope he has already bought a house, before spending that sort of money on a car (don't get me wrong - I'd love an R35, but I'll have to wait a long time...)

Show me a house for 127,000, especially in Sydney, Cheers.

LOL, I bougth my first house for less than that - but obviously you won't buy anything outright (that's deposit money...)

Great to hear you are enjoying the car, what is it like day to day? bet the auto shift makes it easier to live with in traffic.

Those were the days. So your advice of 'he should buy a house first' is irrelevant.

How so? In my book, I'd rather put 120+ into a house than a car (no, I don't earn millions, if anyone here does, it won't matter!). I don't need to mention the benefits of purchasing your own home - but more importantly, you are better having somewhere to actually park the car (they are not big enough to sleep in...).

The new owner also mentioned he had a house :blush:

I could have used the advice to buy a house instead of wasting the money on cars many years ago! I don't see why you take issue with it?

I think people who are using the BUY A HOUSE FIRST than a car, are forgetting that anyone that can afford this car, probably has a house or two under their belt. So that argument is out the window.

not necessarily so, I know of a lot of people that invest a big sum in a car without having a house (crazy to me).

I think this statement is correct in about 95% of cases here.

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
