Nice effort. How long did that take?

Listed it!

Yes, it is for a ridiculous price. No, I don't really think I'll get that.

But there will be some one with more money than sense out there =]

I thought you had a buyer lined up already?

Maybe ask the previous owner of 'the Miatasaurus'.

I will admit i laughed when i saw the asking price.
Good lick with the sale though, im sure some will buy it off you with daddys money being that they are the new hondas.
Although be prepared for it to go down the path of other slammed mx5's sold recently

Thats was my understanding too but if she has already put her interest in the car why put it up on TM?

She offered 4k and I was like ummmmmmmm....

But yes, the asking price is ridiculous. But I know so many guys that have brought cars for ridiculous prices purely because "daddy, I want it"

Cheers man, not quite finished yet but all up probably a good 4 or 5 hours. Cleaning all the corrosion/built up crap on there was the most time consuming bit, and getting into all the hard to reach places.

Okay $10,000 is a little high but $4000 is a joke she sold hers which has the same mods to yours for $7000 so the least she could do is be realistic and offer around the same.

Haha a little high? It's ridiculous. But it's like what's the worst? People dont offer anything, next week it will drop. But I am open to offers. Haha 4k was crazy low lol

Are these NA or NB or NB sport brackets?

Snapfrozen · Post by **Snapfrozen** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 6:49 pm

NA8 brackets. I found my main concerns were that NB sport rotors/padsare hard to get here and DAM expensive, also meant I had to replace the calipers.

Didn't worry about NB8 as I won't get any noticable difference in stopping power out of them and my brake pads would be more expensive. Next step above these for me is Project Mu or Wilwood setup

By the way does a skinny white guy who drives a girly looking car stalk you?

^ I believe his car has pink wheels and is for sale?

Stevo · Post by **Stevo** » Fri Mar 01, 2013 5:56 pm

I just got a set of Toyo TEO Plus tyres fitted today.
Will be interesting to see if they hang on as well as the Potenza RE-01's that have been replaced.
