Hi everyone,

I am wanting to sell/trade my mx5 for a clean r32 gtst or 180sx. After many years of driving other makes and models - Hondas and Mazdas - I want to get back into a turbo car.

Here is a few bits of info about the car:

Model: NA6 Mazda MX-5

Colour: Crystal White

Transmission: 5 speed Manual

Mileage: Donor engine - 67,500 kms (approx); Chassis - 209,000 kms

Rego: will be renewed so Rego will be until 24th September 2011

I have had the car since late August 2010 and I have since had the car resprayed (stock white, outer skin only) and have had the engine replaced with a fresher long nose crank type after the previous engine eventually bit the dust. I have included below a mod list outlining what is currently on the car.

Mods:

-Gates Timing Belt

-X Force Headers

-High Flow Cat

-Stainless Steel exhaust with Npower Muffler

-Exedy Heavy Duty Clutch

-Top Gun Ignition Leads

-Arc Intake Chamber

-NoPro washer Bottle

-HSD Coilovers

-Front + Rear Chassis Brace

-Slotted Rotors

-Axis OG Wheels (15 x 8 +25 et) with SportCompact Continental Tyres (195/45/15) 85% read

-Garage Vary Polyurethane lip

-Garagestar offset bracket (license plate)

-Pioneer Head Unit

-Fusion 6" splits

-Brown Davis Rollbar

-Sparco Sprint Jnr Bucket seat (red) NOT YET INSTALLED

-ARC Titanium Gearknob

-JJR deep dish suede steering wheel

-Project KICS Titanium Lug nuts (blue)

-Fresh respray (3 months old)

-O2 sensor, ignition coil pack and afm replaced

-Donor engine installed (advised to have had 65,000 kms) installed early February by Daniel Deckers.

-New engine mounts

-All hoses replaced with new OEM hoses

Car is only ever driven on the weekends and has never been tracked. Hoping to sell for around the $10 000 range or a trade with an r32 gtst or a nissan 180sx.

awesome mx man! would love this if i had room for it...good luck sellin! should go quick...

Thanks mate! The good news/bad news is that I've found a buyer. I'll miss this car because it definitely is a head turner, but I guess the good news is that I am now officially looking for an r32 gtst in good condition. I was set on getting Rhysee's white 32 but that sold before I managed to find a buyer. So does any one have any on offer? Any color would be fine, except for maroon, but my preference would either be black or white. Thanks everyone.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
