Sadly my car is now for sale, having moved into my own flat with only one parking space and having to leave this at home I never get round to driving it as much as it deserves. Brilliant fun car for some back lane blasting. It is great as is or has everything you could need to turbo minus the actual turbo and the exhaust kit. I have done very few miles in it, and all modification has occured in my ownership so coilovers etc. are all good as new and clutch is around 1500miles old 400 of which were bedding in miles.
Never tracked.
I have every piece of trim etc. that has been removed still including the nardi wheel and gearknob.
Build thread with tons of photos: mighty5s.com/thread/22/toms-longer-turbod-roadster-build
Spec as follows:
1991 Eunos, ~85,000 miles (will get precise odometer readings tomorrow in miles and kilometers) imported in 2003 and garaged to my knowledge until I bought it a couple of years ago. Since then only driven between mid april and late august.
No rust- sills and chassis rails absolutely solid. Two tiny surface patches at the end of each kick plate within the door shuts where the corners of the kick plates have chipped the paint, I have had them off to check this and anyone viewing the car is welcome to do the same.
MOT until end of April 2018
Corbeau clubman solidmounted bucketseat (still have the original and the sliders if wanted)
Personal neo grinta suede steering wheel (still have the original wooden nardi if wanted)
GCFab roll bar
AEM wideband
ME221 ecu
Engine is currently pretty standard there is an AN-10 fitting in the sump with a blanking cap on it for the turbo drain and a pipercross intake sock.
I have some RX-8 yellows which I will include with the car if wanted.
Flyin Miata happymeal clutch and flywheel kit- its the lighter flywheel, the car revs fantastically.
BBS RZ 15x7s off an e30 with good federal 595-RSRs
HSD monopro coilovers
Hardtop and soft top present and in good condition.
MX-5 parts exhaust
Some JASMA tagged JDM 4-2-1 manifold- for all the scene kids.
I have no doubt forgotten a few things but the car is brilliant, as with all cars this age there are a couple of slight downsides:
The paint when polished looks fantastic but does dull down very quickly and look tired I believe its a lack of clearcoat.
From cold it doesn't idle fantastically, this is a me221 issue and the car could really do with mapping or someone with slightly more knowledge to fiddle with it and sort this out- I am assured its easy, but keeping the throttle blipped until its warm has never really bothered me.
Rear bumper has been cut, seemed a good idea at the time and does look good, but I have come to prefer the OEM look a little more and its no longer really my taste- same goes for the ducktail.
I am really not sure what to ask for the car as I have a good amount of money in it and prices seem to be vary variable for solid examples. I would ask for £3000 ideally pretty firm.
