m0rk's 1990 Eunos Roadster

[m0rk]

Yup, I feel pretty lucky to be able to have lots of fun cars.

I just wish I had time to actually drive them

 

[Willie]

Yup, time is something we only seem to have less of the older we get.

This garage beats having 1 £20,000 car for sure

 

[andyj]

I wouldn't say you're 'lucky' Mark, you've worked damn hard to get to where you are now, and to be able to have the opportunity to have the cars you've got

 

[F2 Stu]

looks more like a roll over hoop than a cage!

good couple of hours work , just 4 mounting points then?

 

[m0rk]

14 bolts mate

Just lobbed in place & secured 'enough' right now

 

[F2 Stu]

If there's a plate washer the other side and the material is no less than about 1.5 thick you'll be ok I think

 

[m0rk]

1/3rd of the way to legality

FC 0NCB £91

How awesome is that

MOT, welding etc booked for next friday, so will tax after that

I took it to the welding place just to quote obviously... I love my little mazda (and the decatted straight thru exhaust)

 

[andyj]

£91 for insurance.... nice Classic policy rocks!

Shame it's not going to be road-worthy for tomorrow..... would have liked a co-pilot ride

 

[andyj]

Oh, and I love you're new signatures graphics.....

 

[jenk]

£91 Im selling the mk2!

 

[LEE69]

£91 bloody hell is it worth there time

 

[stezo2k]

£91? Thats very impressive

 

[m0rk]

It would have been less if I'd have been a member of a club -£6 and if I'd gone direct to the insurer rather than the broker I used another £10 less (but it saves the hassle)

Oh, and new suspension (and camber) = sidewaysness

 

[stezo2k]

Slightly off subject I know but that signature is genious

 

[andyj]

£91 Im selling the mk2!

I'm contemplating selling the Mrs' Swift..... Don't tell her though.....

 

[AlpineWhite]

m0rk, I assume that's on a classic policy? How do they sit with mods? I'm considering doing something similar in the not-too-distant future

Oh, and Mariner Blue is a fantastic colour on these!

Cheers,
Anthony

 

[m0rk]

Yeah, classic policy (basically you 'must' have another car to qualify)

Mods seem OK, excess is reasonable (not that I intend to claim ever)

I raised the suspension today as it was riding the bump stops which is an MOT fail

Also removed a number plate light that wouldn't work (so rather than fix it, remove it!)

Marina looks ace when it's clean, currently mine looks dull because it needs a really nice wash & wax which it can have post MOT.

 

[AlpineWhite]

Excellent, cheers for that. It'll be a second car, so no problems on that front

 

[m0rk]

And it's away for MOT at the moment. I dropped it into a garage on Friday when I got home from Scotland, with an arrangement that it goes to my welder 'when' it fails on the holey sill.

Otherwise It's riding like a 4x4, and amusingly the VLSD has gone goopy while it's been sat - and now just locks up every junction I pulled out from was completed with a dab of oppo

 

[Cupra Kid]

Good thread and car, just got a 323 to return to the road and then i'll sell that on and go for an MX5 like yours.

The engine's seem bullet proof but i have some sill corosion to sort like you.
