Hmmm, interesting. I will speak to the gf later as i've been looking for an MX5 as a duel purpose vehicle for us. Car for her to run about in during week and one for me to track at weekends.
I will re-read this when I am home from work.

Few good bids on ebay at least.
If it doesn't go I'll come and have a look when I am back on Wirral on the next bank holiday weekend.

Back up, moment of madness, If someone wants an ace little car, £1200 no offers I'm not around Saturday but available thursday evening friday afternoon, Sun evening, Monday all day then off on holiday for two weeks honeymoon  . Just been to Leman's in france 1300 mile round trip with no issues was awesome , mot is end of the month, rear tires should pass but would be better changed otherwise ok elsewhere. Also now wearing different nicer exhaust tips, looks much neater. Cheers Chris |

I think this is probably worth the money considering the work done and without seeing it, however i think it is ambitious asking more for it than the reserve you had on ebay considering there is less m.o.t and more mileage.

maybe the case, but I think its worth it and cant afford to go lower currently.

Keep it dude, easily worth £1500+ don't let anyone make you think its worth less. Marine Blue MX5s are cool as, some nice mods on there, looks sensible, they make awesome dailys, economical, what more could you want!

Couple of questions:
- I notice in the 6th picture in the ebay listing that the brake disc looks a bit rusty. Had any problems with the rear calipers seizing or sticking?
- New cooling stuff (rad, pump, thermostat, gasket), was that as a result of an overheating issue? Girlfriend had one of these and we did similar when it overheated. Didn't quite blow a HG but it got pretty hot and ran a bit rattly and smoky on startup after that.
- Rollbar, does that have attachment points anywhere for eyelets for a harness?
- New manifold, does that make it easier to access the oil filter? I remember that being a complete ballache on the last one we had.

picture was after washing, no issues with brakes, has new pads fitted at rear 2wks ago,
new cooling stuff, as I didnt know the history of any of it, when doing the cambelt its only right to do the pump and other bits, rad comes out to make it easier so whilst it was out I put a new one in at the same time.
Roll bar, no attachments for harness, was never my plan
manifold, its the exhaust one pal, oil filter is on the other side, never really found it that hard doing the filter though from above or below!? you could always do a filter relocate though and put it at the front

I've still not been back to Wirral. Will keep an eye on this as car we bought for my GF hasn't worked out and the multi purpose GF transport/my first track car is my preferred option.

Re the roll bar, is there a horizontal bar as illustrated in this picture from TR Lane install thread:  Can't see the horizontal in your pics but the wind deflector is installed so maybe behnd that. |
