My new uber camp automobile. MX-5 Project.



Yeah I've had a silly quote off them. £800 for a used Trust Turbo of unknown mileage. Told them where to stick that.

I just presumed they were getting raped on import and postage to the UK, and passing it on.

Yes I am aware they're making money, but I thought their high prices were also down to the import fees etc like I said. Didn't realise just how much of a mark up they were making until you had mentioned those wheels. I know I could get a new turbo for that money, that's why i told them to do one ;)

Yeah, Just popped over for the day for my girlfriends birthday - saw Jenson Button in the centre too which was cool... I'd have said Hi if I'd know you were there!
I was the other side of the car park - it's properly loud!

Bomber, contact Ninjamotors on the Nutz forum, he is splitting his Jackson S/C car.

Have found a 1.8 which I can use as a base, it needs a few £££ spent on paintwork but I'm probably going to Matt black it for cheapness and ease. I am the ultimate in cheap, the cars about £600

i bet you could build a supercharged mx5 pretty cheap

dont most cheapies use the Mini superchargers?

Yep it's the mini charger I'll be using. Had a look at that Jackson racing one on nutz, tis more than I want to spend really

I've just noticed seb, are you missing a wheel bolt from the rear o/s wheel?

This picture makes it look like you only have 3 in.
