SP Owners - New List

[RobH]

Hi Reckless Eric,

Good to have you on board. You look like a guy who likes to go quick
I think we need some more info on your other toys that you have listed as well!

Hi Rob, thanks for the interest, other toys are series one xj6 swb fitted with a worked 265 hemi and a MR2 sw20 turbo running 15 psi boost. Interesting being able to compare two different approaches --- front engined turbo mx5 and heavier but more powerful mid engined turbo mr2. Both are good fun but mx5 much easier to work on and not as scary at 10 /10th's , the mr2 being, like most mid engined cars, an oversteerer at the limit, and hard to catch when you reach that limit. Jag more cruiser than performance car but goes much harder than 4.2 litre xk motor , 265 hemis although an old motor are bulletproof, very torquey and respond well to a bit of head and valve work . Will post a couple of pics soon. cheers

No wonder those old Chrysler 265 cu in Hemis are tough, they were originally designed in the US to go into trucks!

The Aussie engineers went right through them, and came up with a very good engine.

They sound good too with the right exhaust system.

Great to hear from you again Peter.

Glad to see you're recovering well. I'll be @ the 20th Anniversary. So see you then.

[Benny]

Ditto.


Sorry to hear about your heart Peter.
As if you haven't been through enough already!

Look forward to catching up with you at the 20th.

[Peter Howe]

Sorry guys,

Seems there's more complications with my aorta, so I've been advised not to go on the run. I was so looking forward to it.

I'll try to make it to a future outing after all my current tests and treatments.

Hi All,

This is my car being built at Prodrive build number 82.


First registered 19 April 2002


Supreme Blue. Mods ....$2.60 T piece mod and the original Techno Grille.

I purchased the car in November 2001 and waited for the 2002 build models to arrive. My first order was the SP version of the Titanium model released at that time .... but Mazda canceled that order saying that they would not convert a "special" to an SP.

Replaced the mid pipe and muffler under warranty, new clutch at 95,000kms (now Exedy), had my nuts tightened at the exhaust flange.

In 120,000 Kms I have changed the brake pads only once also (although due again soon).

Tyres .... well I guess I have had at least 10 sets.

Currently goes for a drive once a week. Averages around 6,000 km pa now.

Original battery.

Regards

Rob

Twins - seperated at birth and sent to different states. It's like those stories you hear of when two babies are born but one is white and the other is black (blue)
