Cheers, Sean, have you had much interest in your rig yet? Very tidy from the pics so I'm sure it won't take long to go!

saw this in chambers flat.... all i could do was open my mouth because the wheels were so fat
Good luck with sale man

Thanks mate, you didn't happen to be driving a white 35 did you? I passed one the other day just down the road.

I've had a little bit man, couple of people offering stupid amounts as they do..

It is clean i don't want to sell it lol but i need to.

Got one of those scam emails last night from someone claiming to be offshore in NZ and no phone and wants to pay by paypal hahaha.

Haha yeah I've had a few of those scammers with some previous sales. You're always going to get the few low ballers unfortunately. I'm sort of in the same boat as you, really don't want to sell but I have too haha.

Good luck with it anyway!

Matt have you been spamming your advert locally and on facebook/local pocket trader/paper etc? i reckon you'd have more luck selling it that way. That's how i sold mine, was actually through a guy that saw my ad on a local buy/swap/sell car fb page who told another guy who bought it!

but Sean, Matt is trying to sell the car with his wheels which is what brings his selling price to $26,000.....and buyers nowadays dont give a damn about wheels price....and compare costs with other cars in the market....

Thanks for the tips Sean, I have had it on Facebook/Gumtree and a couple other sites but not a whole lot really. I might start advertising a bit more to help out the sale.

Price dropped to a more realistic $23,750 ONO now ;) I've got a buyer interested at that who seems pretty keen so I will see how that goes.

    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
    • Aside from the fact it is likely fuel related if it is black, the symptoms otherwise sound like worn valve stem seals. Oil gets past the worn seals when the engine is off and burns when the engine starts. If it happens on deceleration while driving (puffs of white smoke) that is another valve stem seal symptom because oil gets sucked form the head into the combustion chamber under vacuum with the throttle closed. They can be replaced in the car if you have some way to keep the valves closed while working (eg compressed air into cylinders) but is much easier with head off.
    • Alright, fair enough. Expected as much. Possibly, yes. However the kit is apparently not including every single hose and it is out of stock too.
    • I sourced my silicone hose kits from Just Japanese. Their current link is what I posted above but supplier might have changed over the decades.
