I'm after an MX5 for a special project i'm working on.
Thing is i'm going to be very picky about what and where
It must be:
1.8
Manual
Have a sweet engine / box / running gear
Have a Torsen diff, so i'm guessing a mk2
It can be as rusty as you like, I don't care for the body, or the roof or the seats etc
It must be in the Midlands, cause i'm lazy...
I know, i know, i'm a nightmare, but there are plenty about so its worth asking. I promise the end result will be worth it

The MK1 or NA had an LSD too chap, unsure if it was a Torsen type though.
Are you on Buy Sell MX5 on Facebook? If not get on there they usually have lots of the crusty type for sale...............It's where I buy them ;-)

Fairly sure it was only the import 1.6 cars which had the weak viscous lsd. I'm fairly certain the 1.8s that had the lsd fitted were torsen. I fitted one of my mk1 1.6s with a mk2 torsen after destroying the original open diff and tbh I wish I had ruined the open diff sooner! Sadly the bodywork on said car is starting to get bit flakey, hence buying a second mk1  Out of interest why discount the 1.6 model? It's a cracking little motor! |
