Hi I am an incurable petrolhead who has spent years track daying a Dolomite Sprint until I sold it to a Yank and it lives in USA now.
In 2010 I bought my wife a very nice 1990 MX5 (Eunos) in red which she loves and still owns and I was so impressed with its quality that I bought one for myself and was disappointed with the lack of performance so started looking for a turbo. What I found on Ebay and won for £1350 was a round tubed chassis with an HSK turbo MX5 installed as a rolling chassis, aha I thought I would take the motor and sell the rest however once home with all this brand new stuff I could not part with it, so I built it up into a Lotus 7 type car and ran it through the dreaded IVA test! (never again) and registered it back in 2014. It weighs 580 kilo with about 180 bhp and goes like stink. I promptly did a track day and the pipe came off the actuator which then overboosted the flipping thing and nearly had me off the track with the slug of power which broke 2 pistons! I now want Skuzzle to sort me out a reprogrammed ECU and do the job properly so I can trust the car on a track day.
I am an old fart and would like to show you a picture but don't know how.
