Hopefully so bud, it might not be painted, but fingers crossed it'll be running and road legal. Finally got the rear screen booked for fitting, then it's a few final touches before MOT time.

wings and front bumper are being resprayed and dent in passenger wing being filled, partial rear quarter respray and dent in wheel arch being filled, bonnet dents being popped out and sunroof rust being treated and sprayed.

really good price for all that too and the guy dropped out he used to work for Bentley so hoping for a good finish :D
 
Circa 950kg depending on trim, engine, sunroof etc. IIRC a couple models broke 1100 but I think that's all aircon and options.

Pete's should be 960-970, D-series with a sunroof.
 
Interesting, So pretty much identical power to weight as my mx5 then.
No wonder they go like stink with engine swaps
 
Definitely gets the old cogs spinning when you're looking for a daily/project eh?

Wants a grand for the gearbox which you would need, and no mention of ECU. That's before thinking about mounts which would a pain.

I saw a YouTube vid from the owner of Hasport, he's thinking of putting in the new 1.5 turbo engine (L15b7) in an old D-series chassis. He says it is a tall engine so would need to test fit, but it should go. If that's the case, you should be able to get mounts off the shelf for it pretty easily soon.
 
Meh... There's plenty of cheaper 4 pot turbo lumps out there that'll do the same job. I can't see these becoming the new k-swap lump of choice.
 
Fcuk me for that money I'd make an SR20 fit an EG and possibly RWD it while I was there. It's been done in the U.S before. I'll try and find the build.

:lol: Surprisingly, the SR20 isn't that big a motor, it's quite a good swap for MX5's.
