Haha My OH is into cars. Although she had a job getting her head around the fact the gears go 1st-Neutral-2nd-3rd-4th-5th-6th lol

I gave £7k for it Dan. Its 2 years old and has 2k on it.

Having only an Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6 Diesel as a company car wasn't really getting my pulse going very much, so I set about looking for something fun for the weekends. I initially looked at reasonably new Exige S' but the idea of paying £300 a month for something i'd do about 4k a year in...

I just have kind fellow.

Bah This = 0.17 lb/ft per kg S2000 = 0.12lb/ft per kg So a 998cc car has 30% more torque per kg than an S2000...

Doesn't fit in at work

Had to abort picking it up. Bloody monsoon!

Its good Joey. Its just slow (1.6 Diesel). Interior is funky and its really good looking from the front, well a lot better looking than most company cars! Just going to pick the Orange thing up now..... in the rain.... arse.

I just think the tyre's make them look daft.

Good haha, he may as well not have that bumper!

Don't cut the bumper, just get the fog smoothed out!

Some are over 180bhp! You can get 220bhp from a 1300cc hyabusa motor!

The engine oddly isn't the problem, even this 998cc 160bhp unit will shift the car along very well, a bike gearbox won't. Its a pig to drive, a bike clutch doesn't like pulling 400 odd kilos away. The whole gearshift is VERY clunky. Still flat up shifts are cool. Having the correct ratio diff...

Sure if it's dry!

I'm not a huge fan of bike set ups either, but a good 200bhp zetec/xe set up is ££££ more!

The company Giulietta isn't the most entertaining so now the TT has (finally) gone I've purchased this! Its got an R1 motorbike engine, its not the fastest thing on earth and bike engines can be frustraiting on the road but its fun enough, tyres are bit OTT for something that weighs 480kg...

Fail on reading

VAGcom needed

Its complicated. It was company owned by who I work for, but its just been sat for 2 months, so I made an offer and they took it. I'm going to get the gearbox looked at and then i'll punt it on.

Sadly not. They were 56 onwards!

Yeah, 2006 06 plate with 120k on it.

Drives like a dream. Gearbox warning light is on. I'm not complaining for £1000 notes. Its got full main dealer SH too, as well as 9 months tax and MOT.

I've just paid £1000 for this. Not sure what to do with it though! Road trip?

I drove a boggo 1.6 with one fitted and it was alright. I think it was a 1.5 way one. You need some power to get the most out of them though really. I always just used open diff's on my turbo 5.

TorSen. Welding is fine if you want to drift all the time. Which I assume you don't! Look on driftworks forum for a diff. They tend to be cheaper than MX5nutz.

P.S. MRS bodyshop or what ever its called now will do you a cheap re spray. http://www.driffieldarc.co.uk/

I was going to say MX5parts were always really quick for me. Also sent me 2 free silenced de cats by mistake! I like the wheels that are on it. Small is cool!

What! I get 33mpg out of the V6!

Looks f**king awesome though. Just don't 'winston' it! Did you use mx5parts.co.uk?
