MX5 Turbo - any recomendations?

[Liam_Irl_NA]

Hi All,

I havent been a hugely active member(although I trawl around the forum quite a bit)

I recently bought a green MX5 turbo from Auckland(got a good price) Unfortunately the previous owner seems to have put a new engine in and cut some corners which have now caused a few problems such as an alternator that wasnt correctly tensioned to the bracket thus causing a few hiccups on the trip home..

Does anyone have any recomendations of good mechanics in the wellington area that is familiar with +T'd cars?

The original plan was to turbo my red NA but impulse got the better of me! Not sure if I am allowed to say it but if there is anyone after a really tidy NA then I would be happy to give first refusal to a member.

Cheers
Liam

Couple of pics of my Old clean and tidy red one in the garage section.. This is my new daily(for now)/project.

Oh man, this was PunkoutNZ's old one. When it was his it was done properly.

Sorry to hear about the PO.

Cheers dude, it is still a good one. Just had a new engine put in and it seems to have been rushed so I will be getting new belts/pump and seals sorted.

The plan is to build up another engine anyway - just hadnt forecasted needing to do these things to a 'new' motor!

Lets see if I can get it running well enough for Hampton Downes 12hr '14!
