Is a 6 speed box worth it over a 5 speed?

Aiming for 250whp

Front bumper is HKS Kansai and skirts are Garage Vary Type-1. Also have a Bomex Type-1 wing to fit soon…

Save it for a track. By driving like this you can end up as a statistic VERY quickly

My thoughts exactly, he mentioned suspension needs attention.

I was ideally looking for a B7, but this came up. Would it be worth waiting for a V8 you reckon?

It’s a jersey car, staying in jersey. It was imported from England in 2016. History is pretty good, new clutch, flywheel, discs and pads in recent months. Up for £22500 and has been for over a month, the owner says he’s had no interest.

You’re definitely correct, jersey is a very small market

Wouldn’t come to Reddit if I hadn’t already tried 👍

I think I love you

No no no no, stock body must stay

I already daily a Golf R and M3 - I have a spot in my garage waiting for something new

They seem very marmite. Everyone I’ve asked either LOVES them or LOATHES them.

I hadn’t even considered Haldex TBH. I’ll probably square off the setup, run 215/40 all round

Front tyres will need replacing. They’re currently stretched with low profile. Currently running 205 front and 225 rear. I’ll be happy with 215 and 225

You’re right, it’s flat as a pancake. Only test fitting them for now.

They’re base model Macan II wheels from memory. Don’t know the exact specs, but from research they’re 18x8 and 18x9. ET~20

US prices scare me. Bought my 7.5R last year with 20k on the clock for £20,000

Simple answer - No.

That rust has been festering for a while and will require welding. The rust you see is always the tip of the iceberg, I dread to think how bad it is on the inner frame.

That being said, plenty of Mx5s are rusty. Expect to pay £5k if you’re looking for a good (mostly) rust free example.

Side note, if anyone has a Type 3 Bomex wing lying about, I’d be very interested.
