Hi, I'm looking to sell my mostly-finished project; a BRG(ish) '97 Mazda MX5 with a 2.5L V6 engine (Mazda KL from a Ford Probe/Mazda MX6). I have run out of space on my landlord's drive and I need to move it on to a new happy home. The details are;

- '97 Mazda MX5 Monza Sp.Ed.
- Re-upholstered and re-shaped (foamectomy) standard MX5 seats.
- Mazda KL01 engine with custom gearbox adapter plate and clutch/flywheel setup *
- Tubular front subframe *
- Custom intake (2 sets of Triumph T595 throttle bodies) *
- Stainless custom exhaust from stock KL manifolds to stock MX5 CAT-back *, WBO2 sensor
- Megasquirt MS2Extra replacing the stock ECU and running EDIS6 ignition (currently powering a COP setup - may want to replace with a standard coils+HT leads setup)
- Remote oil filter and mount *

Otherwise, the car is effectively stock. It just about drives but I would not recommend taking it on the road as it is because of its lack of tuning and required tinkering.

Ask if you want to see any pictures. I have a build thread on miata.net ("The KLMX5 is taking shape" if you want to take a peek there. The differences between what you will see on there and what I am selling is that I have put an OEM steering wheel back on the car in place of the custom job I had there, I have re-installed the original washer-bottle and the fuel pump is stock. The car will not come with a hardtop.

I am based in Rayleigh, Essex at the moment.

Any serious offers considered. For what it's worth, the custom parts themselves are worth ~£900, then there is the engine itself, the MS and vehicle itself...

Regards,

Chris

* The work in these areas were performed by clairetoo of this very forum, so obviously they're awesome.

I cant believe theres been no interest in this.....................it'll be an awesome car with a bit of time and effort......for not a lot of money !

Some kind of guide price would probably of helped - as would a couple of pictures....... I was vaguely interested when I saw the add BUT saying the custom parts alone cost £900 never mind the car and engine gave me the impression the seller would be looking for rather more than I wanted to pay - without photos it could (and I'm not saying in any way that it is btw) be a complete money pit as well........ so I moved on and forgot about it

As far as I know , Chris will take somewhere around £900 for the car (or maybe less - U2U him for a definate answer) - for pictures just google `klmx5' and that will bring up plenty more info !

HUGE bargain then tbh I want my car to be eligible for something other than the Libre class should I ever get round to a bit of sprint/hilclimb activity as well as keeping up with some roadgoing BEC type people........ so an engine swap like that isn't quite going to work with what I'm doing - bloody tempting tho

U2U sent.
Regards

Any questions about price or offers would have been considered - I didn't list a price because I had no idea what to ask. After no interest, I ended up weighing it in and getting £150 for it. An argument with the next-door neighbours forced my hand in the end. Ah well.

That it a real shame.

I thought about it, but no space for a project.

£150!
Jeez dude, you must be gutted.
Hope you are going to give your neighbour a suitable present when you come to leave your present domicile.

If you said you were going to scrap it I would have had it!

What a waste
