So... Green machine, ebay special, Exocet, and now an SE? Cool!

What's the plan for this one? 2B racer?

The correct number of mx5s to own is N+1 (where N=the number of mx5s you currently have).

Just saying'

Didn't you just sell an SE rolling chassis with running gear? :|

I'd love to know how many SEs are left.

My old one's funeral was very kindly conducted by Boyracer and there's been a few perish since.

I have 2 SE left, one is going in to this shell and the other is for the Exocet.

This one can do pretty much anything with it, fit a restrictor and run 2F, strip it down a bit and run 2B....Dan is doing a nice exhaust for it, otherwise the engine/turbo will be pretty stock.

This shell is a genuine Titanium limited edition and is a repairable write off so could be re-registered, just fitting a bolt in cage.

Would be good to sell the green car and keep this one.

There's another formulation: s-1, where s = the number of mx5s that would result in separation from your significant other.

I'd suggest for a large majority of mx5ers with partners, that N+1 = s

once N+1=s is reached , it follows N+1 would expand incrementally until BA-(N+1)=0 (where BA =bank account)

Finally got some time to get stuck in to the build, transplanted complete loom and engine from wrecked SE, fitted 6 speed and 4.1 locked diff, started first go.... NitroDann exhaust sounds great...

It's back on the ground, drove it around the back yard, have done suspension mods. Fitted S Bilsteins with lowered Mazdaspeed springs, have just fitted pod filter and the Dan exhaust, otherwise stock for the sake of keeping it reliable, just finishing it off, fitting new windscreen... Organise AASA log book.

Due to the lack of sales of the other vehicles this one is going up for sale as soon as it's finished, looking for around $10k.
