Paging the MX5 poofs.

Right, gonna get one for a weekend motor..

Do Eunos go for less money than genuine UK MX5

Whats the difference if any?

Found a cracking 1993 sepcial with leather etc, mint for £1500, BRG etc

What to look for?

Already sourced a turbo kit

What else to really look for?

N.

 

Paging Timo! Timo to the MX5 loonies' phone, please.

Oh, Christ. Paging Timo again....

And again....

 

Rust, and a knackered hood, from what I've seen.

 

George Michael?

 

Well, my wife's not gay.

they are a very fine handling & balanced motor carriage & for the money,
great fun for a weekend blaster...

Try driving one, theyre actually quite fun to drive...

Hair-dresser jokes aside...

 

Eunos is generally higher spec[1], & has an odd sized hole for the
stereo.

Something else as you won't fit in a Eunos/MX5, remember?

Really something else as you really won't fit in a Eunos/MX5, remember?
Oh, & make sure it's a 1.8 if you want to get the back out in 3rd
without using the handbrake.

[1] As in OEM stuff like aircon, but also more likely to have extra
toys. Mine had a stainless Mazda sports exhaust, induction kit,
cross-brace & Koni adjustable shocks.

 

****! i have had the R1 for ages now, you slag...

 

Hence the TURBO nutter bastard kit

 

I'm pretty sure it's the other way round actually.

 

I fit in them quitre well for short journeys, which is what want it for,
roughly 2 miles round

I found the 1.8 a fucking crap engine compared to the 1.6, bolt a turbo
on, jobs a good 'un?

 

Define ages, go on

Since last year

 

It depends who imported it.

 

Rust. Leaking/torn roof, misted up rear window. Rattly tappets (oil not
changed frequently enough or too thick). Clutch slip (mine went at about
110K miles). Sills full of water. Sticking/broken electric windows.
Dodgy alarm. Duff battery. "Idle drop" - easily fixed, car can stall as
you eg. come up to a junction. Front brake calipers - seals, and they
can easily rust up and seize too.

Are some of the common faults that I'm aware of. (I have most of those
issues).

 

****. That's 7 months. Did the earth stop?

I've had my GT longer than that, and I'm not even that fond of it

9 months actually It's a great bike, with a few flaws, but show me a
bike like it that aint got a flaw or two.

It is faster than snakeshit off a ribbed condom

Pretty much utterly mint, too

 

Apart from the seat unit.
