It's still not at its new home, to my mothers amusement :)

I'm hoping to transfer it up the road to my new pad next week if I can get hold of a trailer, when I shall decide whether to strip it or continue, perhaps with a different view on the engine.

I'm having dirty thoughts at the moment :blink:

Should finally be getting this to my new pad the weekend, found a man with a trailer to tow it up the M54 :)

ABS rewire, ABS controller and a digipants air fow meter and it should be road worthy....I hope.

No point messing with 8v unless theres a very cheap way of adding a bit of forced induction.

If I can get the bits I need to pass the MOT cheap enough I'll get it on the road and hit some tracks as it is. If not I might just break it up, save up and get something without a roof. I really don't know what to do :(

Roof down...MX5? so cheap for a mk1.
Double wishbone, handle like nothing else, just a bit underpowered, but tbh I don't think so unless on a track day :)

The missus has a 1.6 mk2, fantastic car, I've just been to the shops in it :) Shes hoping to sell it soon, I'd consider buying it but I'd want the 1.8.
