Hello there SAU members,

To cut a long story short I'm interested in swapping my 1999 Mazda MX-5 for a nice R33 GTS-t. It is a very well put together example and would suit the enthusiastic street driver or someone looking to enter into the amatuer racing scene.

The car was completely standard when it came into my possession. It is thoroughly maintained and modified and the previous owner kept it the same. This is my third MX-5 so it's safe to assume I wouldn't settle for any less.

Modifications are as follows:
-BC coilovers 7⁄5kg
-Whiteline front sway bar > stock rear bar with polyurethane bushings to match
-Whiteline front and rear adjustable end links
-Torsen T2 LSD with fresh bearings put together and installed by DECKSPEED racing
-Fidanza 7lb lightweight flywheel
-Exedy sportstuff clutch (braided clutch line and new slave⁄master cylinder installed at the same time)
-EBC greenstuff pads with new rotors (DOT 5.1 fluid)
-Alloy radiator 52mm
-Cusco brake master stopper
-15x8 Buddyclub SF wheels
-Hankook RS-3 tyres

-Sony double din head unit with kicker splits

It also has a recent timing belt, water pump, OEM coilpack, battery, spark plugs, filters etc... I have kept receipts for all of the above. Power wise the car is standard except for an enclosed pod filter. It does not use any oil between 5000km changes. Yes it is registered and has around 148000km on it. The car will also come with a spare set of OEM wheels and tyres from a NA8 MX-5.

The only bad points are the soft top has a tear that has been stitched and does not leak. And the driver side door trim has been cut up from when I was keen enough to daily drive a fixed back seat.

The car has never seen any track time but of course it can really churn through roads like old pac and putty.

Ideally I'm after a well put together reliable R33 GTS-t that hasn't been owned and driven by a maniac. I am willing to cash adjust for the right car.

Feel free to message me on 0422 371 488

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
