richglanzav Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Year: 1993Model: 1.6 S SpecialTax: not relevant anymore!MOT: 12 monthsMileage: 111000 kms / approx 65k milesDescription: For sale is my 1.6 S Special mk1 eunos. The car was imported in 2005, and is very clean indeed. The S Special models come standard with the extra chassis bracing and LSD. I bought it standard in 2014 and set about making it my own. I have replaced the suspension, brakes, and wheels/tyres for aftermarket items, and the car now handles and stops fantastically. It never gets driven in bad weather and after passing its MOT with just a ball joint needing replacing, it was stored at the end of the summer last year and has only very recently come back out onto the road again of course passing its MOT this time with no advisories. Not bad for a 23 year old near classic car. All modifications were carried out by an MX5 specialist near to me and taking into account the car was stored for the best part of a year, the modifications themselves have covered well less than 300 miles as I unfortunately don't drive it very much due to commitments. I have receipts for everything done to the car which I will detail below. In summary, its fairly strong money I'm asking for this car I admit, but I feel the condition and mileage of the car warrant it. You can buy a high mileage shitter of an mx5 thats dying from corrosion for a grand or so, but you will struggle to find a MK1 better than this anywhere. This car hasn't had a stupid welded diff, been used as a drift toy, ragged around, or ever repaired or welded. All the underbody, arches and the sills are rock solid and have been treated so they will always stay that way. The hood is totally water tight (on the occasion it's on the drive when the heavens decide to open), and there's not a speck of rust on the car. Money spent on the car detailed below. (all work has seen less than 300 miles driving). - BC Racing Coilovers- Freakyparts Willwood 4 pot front brakes- 1.6 grooved discs and mintex pads on the rear- Team Dynamics Pro Race 3 alloys with Yokohama Spec 2 tyres (barely any wear whatsoever, still look new).- Full underbody waxoyl treatment (looks like it was done yesterday)- Geon Quartz ceramic paint protection coating appliedPrice: £3200Pictures: I have a million pictures of the car, but these last two below are my favourites.

ashep91 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Very clean car for the age good luck with the sale mate Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 cheers mate i forgot to mention it does have a 50p sized dink on the front. I have no idea where its from but it's happened in my ownership, maybe a stone flew up. it's just below the front light. and a few VERY minor stone chips here and there but that's it regarding bad points. All fluids are going to be topped up and will have new oil put in this week at some point. Link to post Share on other sites

richglanzav Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 ok ive come to my senses no longer for sale. im gonna turbo it. 250bhp here we come. Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Looking forward to seeing this unfold 😎😎James Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 My mate has an original BBR Turbo. It's not very quick though. My Dad sent his Miata off to BBR for the GT25 Turbo upgrade. It's Okay, it's not Savage, but I don't think these cars ever will be savage. 250 is probably about as savage as they get. Will look forward to seeing the build Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 cheers lads yeah its gonna go off the road over the winter again in which time i will start collecting the parts. turbo will be a td04. a 250bhp mx5 feels not quite as savage as similar power in a starlet, but it will certainly be a far more complete package.
