My new uber camp automobile. MX-5 Project.

[Gaz.]

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.

 

[MaLicE]

lol no they are in to make money which is fair enough but there is making money and taking the piss lol....

lol at the price of the turbo you can buy new for that price lol!!! they had a t51r kit for a rx7 which was mani, waste gate, turbo, down pipe again unknown mileage... they wanted £2600 extra 200 will get brand new lol, second hand kits of the same spec sell in the uk for 1500-1900 lol

 

[Chris J]

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!

 

[jesus]

[Steve]

You lot need to be over on Nutz

 

[bomber]

I've joined mx5nutz but not said hello yet. I'm budgeting £800 to supercharge one lol

 

[welshname]

That would be good going! Keep a thread on here too though!

 

[LIL B]

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

 

[bomber]

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

 

[Dunn]

i bet you could build a supercharged mx5 pretty cheap

dont most cheapies use the Mini superchargers?

 

[bomber]

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

 

[MaLicE]

12a or 13b.... or you are gay and hairy like adey.

 

[sofaboy]

[Joe#]
