  1. Originally an 80, now has 100 engine and box, declared as a pick up on the V5
  2. 😂😂 that’s actually Martin Howey… he of legend
  3. Her nickname is Scrote……. Imperious little Madame….😂😂😂
  4. Membership 20p……. Wedged somewhere…
  5. Collected yesterday, and drove it back. It’s has some issues, but nothing horrendous. Fuel gauge borked. Speedo similarly. Overdrive intermittent. Seats a bit 18th century. Heater hose decided to leak with great enthusiasm, but managed to make it to a retailer of heater hose, and sort it out. Behold the magnificence
  6. That’s why I’ve bought it…..😄
  7. My better half ( who is a chemist) says that the real problem is sodium benzoate, which is in a lot of fizzy drinks
  8. Strange….. I’m type 2 diabetic and Diet Coke has never had an averse affect on me……..
  9. You’re not a boring twat at all….. I agree whole heartedly
  10. The very same…….he’s been around for a bit, l know he was importing a lot of stuff in the halcyon $2 dollars to a £ eta…
  11. Also trading as Dream Cars….. usually have serried ranks of over priced Yank tat on sale
  12. Riley has torsion bar front suspension, so is adjustable
  13. Might have to be some bulkhead trimming. I’d prefer to fit the engine as far back as possible . I would think Mazda engine is probably lighter as well. Transmission tunnel is already unbolted, which helps.
  14. These are the dimensions of the Mazda lump….
  15. Also hasn’t been plate raped…..
  16. Actually clapped eyes on this for the first time today….. it’s really nice! No bubbles on the fabric covered roof ( bad news on these) no rust anywhere, really good chrome and interior. Traded my Scimitar and XM for it, and got £2.5 k in my pocket. Have sourced a Mazda MX 5 engine and auto box to fit
  17. Might possibly change the rear axle…….
  18. Best thing about the MX5 lump is that number of times it’s been used in kit cars, there’s a wealth of knowledge and experience out there with stand alone ECU s etc
  19. I don’t want to have to start modifying brakes and suspension. Standard set up should cope fine with engine upgrade, which is smaller and lighter than the original. Think I’ve found someone local to me who’ll take on the conversion
  20. Looks like someone has already done an MX5 conversion!
  21. Trouble with B series is that the auto boxes are pretty awful. I’m not bothered about trying to go fast….. just want something reliable. Riley back axles are pretty strong
  22. If I could find one……
