Gazza it may well turn into a stray dog so fingers crossed.
Are you the same guy that had that metallic green mk1 5?

So me and the missus have been looking for another car to mess about with ( we already have Will Carters ex MX5 on ITB's and RMads ex E30 cabby). We started looking at Boxsters and TVR's but on our budget,after my daughters wedding,the much drooled over Cerbera was just out of reach. So we thought we would bet a project car,and in Mike Brewer style do it up and flip it. This thought coincided with someone, i used to work with in Historic Motorsport 20 years ago,getting in touch on Facebook,a month or so later he posts this picture inviting offers. Rang him up,went for a look at their amazing workshop in deepest Oxfordshire. It has some competition history, it has a cage,Koni's and an extinguisher,but has no box or engine (originally had a big power bike engine in it).The rear screen and clamshell were damaged,but for the price i couldn't resist. Whilst purchasing a new rear shell from a guy in Scotland i mentioned the lack of engine, he showed me some pics of a BMW K1200Rs bike engine mated to an imp gearbox.....120-130 reliable bhp for the cost of a milld imp engine. It's never going to be a concours original, so "yep that's for me" i thought. Though its in excellent nick I will pull the body off the chassis and do a bit of gussetting,a small crossmember repair and give it a coat of POR 15. Plans after that are probably have a bit of fun in it and then pass it on. Thanks for looking, pics will be uploaded when i get a few minutes. If anyone else wants a project he has 2 very early cars on newly made chassis and a truckload of spares.

Please kill those lights with fire and the Bgw should net you a tidy profit with the drift boys.
Try Junkyard Dog (John) on Facebook/Nutz he seems to be the go to guy for cheap bits

Broke an Mx5 and i am tripping over these,
So i have a set of 14 x 6 ,4x100 Carline (googled it,first pic that comes up,maybe Halfords special ?) 7 spoke ET 38 alloys.They have a set of Ditchfinder tyres on that hold air so perfect for skidding but not the Mot man
These are FREE,donate a tenner to charity of your choice if you want.
Collection from Daventry Northants.
Pm me if you want some pics or want a number to prevent them going for scrap.
Regards
Steve

I have a 375mm cat bypass in the garage if you want it be warned it makes it loud. The brakes on the 5 are pretty good as standard just a half decent set of pads and some decent fluid should see you right,if you want b-i-g brakes Freaky parts do a kit that uses Corrado discs or use 2.5 sport brakes. How much for the cat bypass? Weren't the 1.6 mk1's 370mm? I could be wrong due to my novice knowledge ha! Is it stainless steel? I agree re the brakes,I think for now as just road use, decent pads/fluid/braided hoses and maybe one of those brake servo thingymebobs? oh and a good calliper service.... Cats are 375,440 and 475 mm, the one i have is a 375mm straight through steel pipe, as i say it makes the car a wee bit loud,it's yours if you want to pay the postage or can do pony express or live close to me or somehwere near my office in Whitechapel. i cant remember what the cut off date is for having a Cat for the MOT or as its an import if it needs one. Even for track use you will find that the OEM brakes are well up to the job if your car is a 1600 the 1800 swap is just a caliper bracket, new pads and discs, Jass perfrormance do a brake stopper that prevents firewall flex. Its hardly worth servicing the calipers if they become sticky,lots of places on Ebay do reconned ones that are cheaper than the sum of the service bits just remember when you do the rears that the calipers have a little allen bolt adjuster that hides under a bolt to wind the piston in and out.

Howabout ITB's and Charger..........nice capture on the Racing Beat Intake.
I am just toying with a Civic rad install on mine its half the width of a normal Mx5 rad and twice the depth so should allow loads more cold air into the bay.

Looks nice and tidy base to start from, pleased to hear you found a good one The air intake in the position will be catching much cooler air than standard, it should be catching cool air coming in from the turn signal intakes. If you added a separator of some sort to stop air from the TSI mixing with warm air from the radiator you'll probably be there, a bit like this turbo owner has done. Alternativly, the cowl intake route seems to be one of the most popular tried and tested methods. Cheers for the input, that is very similar to the idea I have in mind Going to PM you a few q's! try googling Randall intake it draws cold air from the scuttle area under the windscreen
