Or you can try here


My wife's got a 90 G model that's pretty much standard that we're looking at selling. No turbo or supercharger, but you could change yer mind and have a go at fitting one yourself

Edited to add ....errrr...but it's blue. A nice blue, she cries! (Mariner blue - sometimes called French blue )

Cheers chaps.

I'd already looked at the owners club, the supercharged one there is a 12k MkII unfortunately The Sebring supercharger is 3k fitted (not really a job I fancy myself), but it'd cheaper to sell mine and buy another with it fitted already. I'll keep my eyes open.

Oh, seems my search on 'charge' missed one nearer my range </edit>

Cheers,
Steve.

I'm looking for an MX-5 or Eunos that's been fitted with a turbo or supercharger, will save me spending LOTS on such an upgrade only to have it worthless when I come to sell. I've seen a couple on autotrader.co.uk, one's too expensive and one's blue (eww). Anyone know of any that might be for sale or p/x for a standard 1.6? Looking for an older model, around the 5k mark.

Cheers,
Steve.

I read an article in ccc years ago, about BBR doing a turbo kit, they ytested it by doing seceral laps of the m25, in third gear on/near the limiter, didn't brake a thing.
Happy hunting.

Yeah, they're good little engines. Mine's an 89/90 import 1.6, a 323 turbo engine minus the turbo so it's pretty strong. Hated losing the Impreza, but it's provided as much fun if not the performance

Talking

I fitted a charger a couple of months ago. Cost was under 2200, although I went for the uprated fule pump and other bits I didn't really need

Fitting isn't that bad, although the diagrams which come with the instructions were drawn by a 2 year old.

I would always stay away from pre-modded cars. You want to know what cowboy techniques have been used on your car

You can pick a H or G up now for under 3.5K, so add a couple of grand for a charger and it's around 5.5 K for a quick, good looking car (unless it's a Mariner blue one), lol.
