Considering swapping my eunos for something else. Really fancy a volvo 850 t5 or a bmw e30/e28. Just got shunned by insurance for these! Maybe a lexus IS200. Something of that elk anyway! Would also entertain anything thats japanese and rwd.
I'd actually also consider like a caddy pick up. Or a nissan mini truck sort of thing
I'm not specific on what Id like to swap for, but if I get offered the right thing then i'll do so
Anyway its a mk1 so has headlights and a roof that go up and down, the way an mx5 should be! 1.8 83,000 miles and is a Japanese import. The g-ltd means its one of 1500 and has suede half bucket seats. MOTd until nov with no advisories on its last and has tax until the end of august.
Bits on it are:
-torsen lsd
-5zigen catback
-Rota RB wheels
-Black hardtop
-oem front lip
-kgworks rear spoiler
-Headlight scoop
Since i've had it I have:
-changed oil for fully synth 5w30
-changed diff oil
-changed gearbox and turret oil
-new spark plugs with thicker leads
-Fitted new gear shifter boots
-fitted new CAS o-ring and cam cover gasket
-fitted all new belts and it has had a new water pump within the last 10,000
-Undersealed the entire car spare for front arches which ive not had time to do yet. Not a big job
-Fitted new suspension (adjustable coilovers. They are TA but when run at a sensible height like mine is at they are brilliant)
-Replaced all 4 disks and pads and refurbished the callipers. They look new!
-Fitted spoiler, lip and side stripes
-Fitted rota rb wheels (15x8j. et30) with almost new tyres
-gutted and cleaned interior
-cleaned engine bay and decluttered
-fitted a front strut brace
I'm sure there is more and this is all documented in my build thread:

i've been getting just over 400 miles to 45-50 quid on fuel so its actually surprisingly good. It is let down by the bodywork which has some scratches and dings but mechanically the car is spot on.
Like i said, will swap for something... not sure what. 850 t5, lexus IS and old beemer are up at the top along with any rwd Japanese goodness. Seeing as insurance shunned the big saloons i've added Caddy pick ups aswell as any decent Japanese minitruck to the list Although i'm fairly open (and not picky whatsoever) so pop me an offer for whatever. I change my mind like I change my pants so I'm always on the lookout for something different haha. I can only refuse. If putting it for sale i'd be asking 1600-1700 which is in reality losing me a fair bit but thats the car game I suppose!
I'm located in Aberdeen but would travel for the right car.
