Its pretty good for a 1.6. Mine has stainless exhaust, decat, advanced timing, induction and a few other parts. Its not majorly quick but is dam good for a 1.6. The sound is AMAZING though, i will have to film it so you guys can hear the raspyness. When it gets over 5k it sounds like the gates of hell have just opened. Not had too may gay comments yet, but if they drove the car they would easily give in to the gay side Dan if you come along to the Basingstoke meet i will take you out for a quick run in it

not a 2000? or we talking CRX?

You will love it Few more pictures i got this morning........... Jason

Im in also, if you guys don't mind a a non- starlet driver coming along Still Jap though so its all good

LOL well its about to get worse for you now, here are a few(rather bad) pics..........Will get some pictures of the engine bay etc soon. Will also get some pictures of the underside on saturday when i get it up on the ramps and it gets undersealed bit of a close one that............ inside.... new deep dish wheel, now my knee's don't hit it Jason

Ok finally got in and have time to post up I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!! The drive home was just epic, loved every minute of it. Had lots of interest from people driving past, that could have been because i was smilling like a cheshire cat though :biggrin: Car handles very well, pulls like a train and likes to rev right up to the 7k redline. After 5.5k it sounds like pure EVIL! Exhaust sounds so raspy. The car is unbelievable for a 22 year old motor, the engine bay you could eat off and the paint and bodywork is great. There are a few small paint blemish's but thats expected on a car this old.

tell me about it, going to be hard to keep it as clean me thinks ;) ;)

Thanks dude, can't wait to get it and make it my own OK, had a few more emails from the guy selling the car. Im actually stunned........ One thing I have noticed as I put the tax disc in last night there is a very very small ding in the windscreen (external only) right down in the corner by tax disc and not noticable or an issue for MOT. If it were me I would get it filled (but it really is nit picking as it is very minor). You say the car sounds amazing!. Personally I love it. I have had 2 MK1's a MK2.5 Euphonic and a MK3 Launch Edition. This car is the best I have owned and all were spe

About fecking time Sparkdog!!!!! There was a point when i thought i would have the Demon on the road before this ever got finished. Get her done and boostin then you can get back to being the 'lawmower Man' and moe'in the birds........

Holly shit! what can i say that hasn't been said already

WTF!!!! Thats random as fuck! Hopefully nothing comes of it dude! Jason

Its been serviced at Mazda so that was what it cost from the dealer I think only the 1.8 Eunos has the lsd?

Im sort of 50/50 on interior but will probably change it anyway. I love the shape also, can't wait to have pop up headlights OK, a small update, had a message sent to me today from the current owner, the smile on my face is now even bigger! here is the message........ Jason Whilst I remember it:- Not only have I been a fastidious owner but the previous owner was also so inclined. On getting all the paperwork together and reading the service schedules (at ridiculously low mileage intervals) I am reminded of one additional "nice to have". The previous owner didn't understand that rear dif

Yes i have been looking non stop for the last few weeks and there where a few ok ones, was so close to getting a minter but someone beat me to it. Then this one came up! and i just said i will take it. There are loads out there but its a case of going through all the sites etc and searching out the minters. The mileage on this one was just unreal for its age so just said yes straight away. Hopefully get some better pics of it on sunday, including the underside cleanliness

Git ;) Just seen it hmmmmmm, now i need some

Hmmm, think your on it with the Takata's ;) Although don't know if they really go with the blue. Sparkdog, i saw some 3' TRS Green harnesses on Saturday at the autosport show in Birmingham, i didn't even click i had seen them till i got home and remembered you where after some

Thanks for the great comments Guys ;) Im still unsure about the interior? New wheel will get fitted asap. I would love a set of brides, carbon door cards and flocked dash. would look sex then! Sparky, thought about going hellaflush but want to keep it useable and don't want to wreck the handlng too much. Think the engine needs more polished parts though

Had a few people say that now! Have been told that the only difference is that the 1.6 is about 10mph off the top speed of a 1.8. Jason ;)

I had a really strange day too. I read a topic started by a guy called 'Sparky' and it didn't mention him getting laid or being a man slag. I felt really light headed and almost fainted but then i read this.... after i read that i felt normal again and went about my daily business ;) Oh, hope the heads ok dude

Evening All, Was going to wait till Sunday when i know for certain if i have the car but its looking more and more like the car is mine! Insurance ends on the lexus on Saturday at 11:59pm and starts on the new Mazda one minute later Have already said that i will take it if everything checks out and its as MINT as it looks. Now i wouldn't normally be this keen that im going to buy a car before even viewing it but i have spoken to the current owner and he is sound. The car is well known on a MX5 forum and several members have said how MINT it is. Been named Project 'Koshin' as Koshin is the

Will get a few pics up now and a new thread It is mega mint though 1989 (21/22 years old) import with only 36,100 genuine miles on the clock ;)

Exactly that, not in a rush really as its well worth the wait. AWSOME NEWS!!!!! Looks like i should be collecting the new MX5 this sunday! thats one job ticked off the list. Then i need to start stripping the lexus down for parts and repay my savings to the sum off £2600 (cost of the new car) then scrap whatevers left of the car and back to work on the Buggy! New Mazda Eunos is a MINTER!!!!! Jason

And thats why i am going to hack the bitch up and sell her parts off! Don't worry though i will be back on this ASAP. Think we need a Demon Build day where we get all the UKSC members to meet here and help build the buggy How many UKSC members does it take to build a buggy???

Thanks Guys, yes the lexus is pissin me off and its time for it to go but got to look on the bright side! New car on the way Only problem is that work on the buggy will be pushed back now, i know it sounds bad but looking at the amount of work there is i think im looking at 2012 till im on the road with it I blame the lexus! piece of shi.....................

Think thats a good idea people will just scroll down and be like what the fuck!!!!! lol *** Small Update *** Well not really much to report as i have had some other things to sort out these last couple of weeks. Anyway, the foam sheets arrived only a day after i paid for them. Another company that has come up trumps for me with this build! Started adding the foam to the profiles with PVA glue........ more parts added.......... Then roughly butcher with a hacksaw blade........... Then using a long flat file begin to smooth out......... Starting to take shape.......... and thats
