CJ Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 If that was cheaper it would have done me as a visiting runabout. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 My best mate had one of these years ago. Awesome little motor. Very nifty, handles like a roller skate, and I believe tops out at 138 mph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 not sure what the top is. I do know there is a ford probe 2.0l turbo engine that drops straight in to it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The MX3 1.8 lump is sweet as a nut though. Put the car in its class and era and we are talking CRX Vtec, and golf GTI 16v. Beat both hands down in handling and acceleration. Its not a supra or anywhere near it but FFS it is an excellent hot hatch and has better seating and storage/boot space than any supra.

Smallshinyant Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 How long is the MOT on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 I think the MOT goes to November. I will check tonight when I go home and update. Its done about 200 miles (maybe a bit less) since the last MOT. I had it doen to sell it and then left it at my mums house in the garage in lincolnshire, which proved impossible to arrange viewings as she works away from home. So now it is here in London and ready to go. I am using it while my car is with Mitchell being resprayed but if someone buys it I guess I will be walking. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Someone got themselves a "bargain" there then if you could call it that ROFL. It might be the split screens or rarer models then that I'm thinking about not just a van with a hole cut in the roof and an interior to rival a cowshed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 split screens are worth more, but they have a top speed of 68mph and take about 10 years to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
