OneTwo's impulse buy - Ruprecht
16 Attachment(s)
Well, I really really tried not to buy this car. Right smack in the middle of building a motor for my 96, I pull the trigger on this. Brilliant decision.
In the end, the parts included were just too good to pass on. The plan is to pull as much cash as possible back from selling off the shiny unnecessary bits and swapping the clutches with PD. Hoping I can build a nice spicy little daily from it. This car is rife for an MS3PNP/VVT swap in a year or two. Photodump below! The good parts
The Bad

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1432682348 FWIW the welds on the landing plates aren't Moti. That's some hack ass shit and he doesn't weld in the gt3-6 points so that was done after the car left his possession. Doesn't change the fact that you have to deal with it... but just thought i'd mention I've never seen anything like that at his shop. Full disclosure, I'm a friend of his and help out in the shop from time to time. So I'm sure I'm going to be perceived as a shill... either way. That's not his handiwork. |
Ha! I know for certain this hack job isn't Moti, you definately do not sound like a shill :)
My other car has GT3 6 point that Moti did install himself,and I knew going in he didn't install this. This was not installed by a fabricator of any sort. Sad considering the amount of coin spent on hard parts for this car. The plan is to grind out as much as I can and have a local fab shop clean this up. Interior is already stripped and ready for sparks to fly. *edit* re-read my initial post again and I see what your getting at. Roll bar fab is gorgeous, and 99.9% sure Moti did the work. The landing plates were welded in by some dipshit at a muffler shop, underwater or something. Hope that clarifies things! |
