Does anyone know this car?

Postby BCR42Y » Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:08 pm

Hi All,

Not sure if I am permitted to post this, and understand if it is removed, but was looking to inspect the vehicle in the attached link, not sure if it is known on the forum?

Don't know the car but the description is hilariously awful. Probably a canned carsales write up.

"PERFORMANCES FEATURES
- Space saver spare wheel
- Tachometer
- Front fog lamps"

Car looks good in the images though.

Thank you, I agree.

The owner has said it has a stage 2 kit on it, but he purchased it as is and knows none of the history of the car, or who did the upgrades or when it was done.

It has a BEGi TBI and CAI rather than the MX5Mania Stage 2 kit's FM TBI and AEM CAI. The stock boost control solenoid is also still being used. Very hard to tell if there's been an intercooler upgrade from the photo angles, but doesn't actually look like it.

Annoying how sellers are too lazy to write a proper explanation and just use the site's generic dribble.

Stage 2 kit or not, there's some nice upgrades. Probably still worth a look.

Hopefully, someone else knows more about it ...

Hi KevGoat,

Thank you for the information, I will hopefully see it this weekend and will put up any updates afterwards.

Also, hoping that someone recognises between now and then...
