What is the track car?
A second hand option (car, or engine) would be worth looking at?
That spoon engine doesnt have anything other than the engine - so you'd need all the sensors, wiring, ECU, gearbox etc
New honda beat ?? I WANT ONE
My Mx5 race car
Nengun are a good bunch I've used them a few times. That engine is going to cost a lot more landed in the UK though, then god knows how much for all the stuff you need to bolt onto it. It'd be nice to have a box fresh engine, but you'd be an awful lot better off just buying a wrecked s2000 off copart and having at it.
I do fully approve of the swap though!
Nice, would go well in a light car
Anyone done one before?
Seems K20s are also an option?

I think one was posted in this or the MX5 thread (not someone on here that did it mind, it was a mk1 iirc)...few in the US and a few over here too. Unlike the V8 conversions it seems like a decent useable power plant that won't upset the dynamics of the car.
The cheaper route and probably quicker route is to go turbo charged on the standard engine, but I think something with a 9000rpm limit and nice throttle in something light and tight like a race build MX5, mine is fully caged and built as a race car, would be fantastic fun and well suited.
I just meant in terms of changing the engine for the comparison to the V8s rather than 'bolt ons' like turbo or supercharger....which I'm sure you could do to the F20 if you were nuts.![]()
HEL Lines arrived, thanks Si @ Hendy. The car is due an MOT and service soon so I'll get them fitted then.
New roof fitted by Jack Smith in Swansea. Few threads here and there on the inside but for the price I can't complain. A massive improvement on my old one which kind of fell apart when it was being taken off.
.....
No, he has glass in stock now, so you just turn up once booked.
I'm not going to lie, the roof isn't perfect, few threads here and there, when I look out the rear I can see that the material isn't 100% straight just above the glass. It's stuff you can tidy up yourself easy enough. But it keeps the water out and looks fine from the outside. But I've also read similar stories from other much more expensive fitters. For the price I can't argue, when it falls apart in x years then just get another.
^ Reading that again makes it sound worse than what it is.![]()
Seriously?
