Pretty sure if you did your research bud you'd find that your insurance wouldn't cover any accidents if you're using your ride as a business venture.

Goodluck with it though......lotta cash to throw away if someone writes it off for you >_<

$300 to putter around town for an hour? Yeah nah. Maybe $150 for that. Maybe. And I'd want a hot topless blonde with huge tits sitting next to me for that price if all I'm doing is puttering around town.

$300 I guess would be okay if I get to thrash it around some of my favourite hills roads at night.

$550 would be acceptable only if I got to belt the ever living shit out of it for a couple 15 minutes sessions on track.

PM me what roads you have in mind. Got a mate looking to start a business due to retirement and he is looking to get a 35 for WA in around a week. Put the two together and there might be some hope :P Plus the one he is looking at getting from WA is already some what modified pulling just under 600awhp. I reckon he might be keen on hills runs but no way would he do a track hire etc. See how we go, speeding fines would be your own kettle of fishies :D

Surely it would work similar to a hire car company lending out the car to someone? maybe they'd charge you a bit extra to insure you/cover the excess costs. Otherwise i can imagine the general excess for an R35 GTR insurance isn't small...

Contact an insurance broker to see if it is viable or not

    • 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).
