1998 Mk2 1.8i Track Modified – £2750 Ono for sale

It's time to sell my trusty MX-5. The car is modified for track use and I competed it in sprints and hillclimbs for the past three years, winning several championship class awards. First off, the boring bits: 1998 'R' 1.8i, Black, 88k miles, 2 owners from new, MOT May 10, Tax April 10. The car is in fair nick for a 12 year old MX-5 that has seen some competition but has some corrosion on the rear wing panels and a few 'competition dings'. However, I will include weld-in rear wing repair panels with the car. I've owned the car since May 2004 and it has been serviced regularly by myself (around 2 times a season regardless of mileage). This was last done in July 09 with fully synthetic 5W50 and the plugs were changed too. Now the modifications: Suspension: Performance 5 Puredrive height adjustable coilovers Racing Beat front ARB brace Steve Heath Engineering adjustable ARB droplinks Brakes: Axxis Ultimate front pads (with spare rear pads) Goodrich Braided Hoses Exhaust: Racing Beat S/S backbox Safety: Hard Dog Hard Core M2 Roll-over bar with double diagonals Hard Dog bolt-in Harness Bar Schroth Clubman 4-point Harness Kirkey Aluminium Racing seat bolted to floor (non-adjustable) Wheels: 14×6" Mazda allows with Pirelli P6000 (wheels car came with) 14×6" Mazda lightweight 1.8iS wheels no tyres (need refurb) – weigh 10lbs each 15×6" Mazda VR-Limited wheels with Marangoni Zeta Linea 195/50/15 + 1 spare Marangoni tyre Included Spares: Clutch Slave cylinder Full set of Polybushes for wishbones (fronts fitted) Various nuts, bolts, fixings Original drivers seat Low mileage OEM shocks and springs 2 Rear wing weld-in repair panels Short-block engine (condition unknown) The asking price is £2750 but I'll consider offers and maybe a p/x or swap (I'm looking ideally for an estate). Extras by negotiation: 15×6.5" Rota Circuit 8 lightweight wheels with Toyo T1-R 195/50/15 SOLD Nearly new custom-fit Cover-zone Voyager indoor/outdoor car cover £50 All in all, this would make a great starter package for someone getting into sprints/hillclimbs or even just for trackdays. Alternatively, change the seat back to the original and you have a great summer road toy. I'm advertising as a full package. If you want the car but not some of the extras, I'll consider an offer but I'm not selling off the bits until the car is gone. If you're interested, phone/textme on 07880 585459 or PM me. Car is in Livingston, West Lothian and can be viewed any weeknight or most Fridays/Saturday/Sundays.
