Those following this site might have a déjà vue, but bear with me. I'll tell you how I came by this car ... again.
I decided that I really want to replace the celica with something else. I've been driving celicas for the last 10 years and covered 300kkm in them. Time to move on.
Soooo I want rwd (shouldn't come as a shock to you guys) I also wanted it to be cheap, i.e. if something goes wrong with the car, I don't want to have to go back to driving a lesser car. So the Porsche is out of the question. This leaves us with the MX5 and the S2000.
There's a world of difference between the two of them, but in the end it boils down to one is cheap and modifiable the other one is a finished product at a higher price. So MX5 it is.
That explains that for the last couple of weeks I've been looking for my ideal MX5, which is a black on black 1.8l with aircon. Of course this being the one I want, makes it about a rare as they get.
In my wanderings along car sale sites I've recently came across a Z3 coupe 2.8, which made realise I still love that car. So I wandered off in another direction and did some more research on the car.
You'll remember, or you can just click my previous post, that I wanted to change a lot of parts on it. Well it seems the latest 2.8, which was introduced in 1999, already has double vanos. I only need to make sure the engine is a M52TUB28 instead of a M52B28. There you have it, some motivation to accept a 2.8 in my life other than the tax advantage compared to the 3.0, the fact that they are easier to find and they look gorgeous.
Anyway, I'm off searching for some cars :-)
