New Car
-
So with the Starlet dead and me deciding it will want a nut and bolt rebuild, I have decided to get another car!
I have also moved into my new house and have grabbed my bikes from storage.
I have bought a 1997 Mazda MX5 Mk1 1.8.this is a real gem of a motor. I have always fancied one and when this one came up I just had to have it.
It's git 45k on the clocks and at 43k it was sent off to BBR for a turbo conversion. It is sporting a Garrett GT25 turbo with an emanage piggyback ECU. Lowering sorings, stainless system and a few other tweaks
It wants some love shown to it as it has been in dry storage for several years. Cam belt water pump etc. The usual.

@Calum love the car Calum, would love to have a two seater, get a few bikes in that garage too! Congrats on the new house also

@oldman Thank you!
I would say let the projects commence...but turns out it's quite expensive!

@Calum Before you do anything else, I would recommend that you paint the garage walls and especially the floor. As the bare concrete will just generate dust big-time!!!
@NINJA HAHA! Literally was just reading an article on this! Yes it's literally my first thing I want to do. I had to move it, but before I grab my RS I will definitely be painting the floor!!!!
If you know of it, please recommend a paint and primer.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

Haha Snap Calum! I've owned mine just coming on for three years. Bought it as a rolling project, which then turned into, new inner and outer sills, boot floor and rear arches. Happy days. Tempted to post a build thread! haha
