Was just browsing ebay and i spotted this beauty.

Shame about the rear spoiler, but other than that this car gets 10/10! I love it!!!

yeah i noticed that but he wants a fair wedge of money for it

his response when i asked him if he had any power figures. This sound about right???

Hello Bruce, I have never put this car on a dyno (rolling road) to get exact power readings. All I can tell you is that this engine is rated at 145BHP stock. The gearbox is also quite close, so the 0-100km/h is respectable (it ain't no Supra/Skyline though!). I bought a larger turbo (which I sold recently) and other ancillaries to bring it up to 180BHP, but to be honest with work and family I never get the chance to play with my car anymore. Hope this answers your question. Cheers.

awsome engine!! a definate must for you bruce.
The quoted power figres sound about right.
Will be interesting to see if he makes the reserve/asking price.

tell me about it! Something i really want to do, but a fair way down the list for the time being

i always thought the engine was a 1.9....... is there 2 different types of engine or have i just got some random figure in my heaed? lol

If you go to the main page of mx-3.com ( not the forums ) and click on engine swap information there is a guide on swaping in the 1.8 4cyl engine from the mx-5 but it sounds quite complicated.
I would have a look through the 4 cyl pages on the forum to see what you come with.
Like you bruce im not that mecanically minded so i just try to stay focused on the V6 info.!!
