This is my old car which I sold a while back, but I bought back recently with a plan to get out on track in it. Unfortunately a move and change in circumstances means it doesn't make sense anymore. Sadly the shell's not clean/tidy enough to make the car worth selling as a whole when you consider what you can pick up a decent MX-5 for now, so it's being broken for parts.
I'm only going to specifically list the shiny/aftermarket bits hear to start with but I do have the whole car, so ask if there's any parts you're after. It's an early UK spec NA with electric windows, PAS but no AC. (I'm not 100% I've got all the interior, as it's been given to me in boxes, not fitted to the car. Oh, and I don't have a soft-top for it.)
(Edit: The engine inc. all ancillaries, mounts and front subframe are now sold.)The boring stuff:
All prices are open to sensible offers and postage is not included, although I am willing to post some stuff will be difficult/prohibitive for obvious size reasons. Collection would be from Taunton, Somerset (Just off the M5) or Chard Somerset, but I can probably get parts to Bristol, Exeter or Torquay if it makes things easier. I can sort more pictures out on request, but it may not be instant as the car's not at home.
Right, what I've got for sale:
Satin black hard-top: This isn't perfect, but it's completely usable. I don't have the side latches as the roll-cage meant they wouldn't fit, but I believe it's pretty common to run without them. You're welcome to the front latches and the Frankenstein bolts etc to go with it. Bad points: There's some chipping at the bottom corners by the doors, but it's not very deep. The rear screens outer seal/trim's coming away at the top, it looks like it could be stuck back down or easily replaced, I was going to fit a lexan screen so hadn't looked into it. It's not heated.
£2506-point Roll Cage: I'm not sure what make this is, but it's construction seems pretty decent (tidy welds, decent thickness tubing with inspection hole.) It's a full 6-point roll cage, and as such does a great job of making up for the lack of a roof and stiffening the shell up. The difference in how the car drove was huge when I fitted it. The main hoop mounts to the floor-pan, and as such with standard seats is does slightly restrict how far back they'll go where it passes behind them, only by one or two clicks though. The roof's latches needed trimming a touch to clear the bar that runs across the top of the screen, but they were still completely usable after. It's a bolt in cage with 3 bolts on each of the 6 mounting points, and the main hoop tying into the lower seat-belt mounts. The rear section could be fitted on it's own if you just want a roll-bar. It needs a lick of paint really. £250 SoldStainless 4-2-1 Exhaust Manifold: I've no idea on details for this one, but it looks like the one's being sold new on e-bay for a touch over £100. It's currently heat-wrapped which I can leave on or remove if you want to see underneath it (I know the heat-wrap's been on there a very minimal time, and it doesn't blow at all.) £50 SoldMegasquirt Harness Adapter: This is an adapter I made when I fitted a Megasquirt 2 V3 to the car, it basically allows a megasquirt to be plugged in with virtually* no wiring needing to be done. ( * There's one or 2 very easy bits of wiring needed in the engine bay that are are unavoidable.) £40 (The Megasquirt that wen't with it's been sold.) SoldHarness bars: I've got 2 harness bars, one painted black, one in bare metal. Both are proper CDS bars with manly fixing's at each end. They're a very similar design, but the painted one's got little loops to prevent the belts sliding side to side on the bar, while the bare metal one doesn't. Both mount to the rear seat-belt towers.
£20 for the bare metal one, Sold -
£30 for the painted one.
Bucket-seat side mounts: These are MX-5 specific mounts to allow you to bolt side mounted bucket seats straight in. They're steel and about 3/4mm thick. I've tried 3 different make/model seats in them and they all wen't straight in. £30 SoldViscous LSD: This has been fitted to the car at some point (it didn't come from the factory with one) and going from when I owned the car first time around it does work. (enough that a friends ex-rally driver dad said it felt like it had an LSD when he drove the car without having it mentioned to him first.)
£50 - (This is potentially sold)
Momo Team 280mm steering wheel: Decent condition, the only flaw's the material on the bottom spoke being a bit lop-sided looking, but having googled them to check the price was sensible, this seems very normal when new. £60 SoldSteering wheel boss: These are factory fitted on early MX-5's, but could be handy to someone with a later car that doesn't have the 6-bolt boss
£15Harnesses: I've got 2 2" 4 point harnesses, (both set-up for looping around a harness-bar rather than clipping to seat-belt mounts) One pair are Sabelt, the other I
think are Sparco, (I'm not 100% but they're definitely a reputable brand.) Both are red and sort of match as a set.
£30 for both
Vented Headlamp cover: This is carbon fiber but painted. It's a little tatty but with a little time and paint would come up fine.
£15I've also got an alloy radiator, but I think it may be spoken for. I'll find out and put details up if he doesn't want it.
