MR2 Spyder race car 4 sale

MR2 Spyder 2001 race car
 
Only being sold to make way for Lotus with 2ZZ . This car has 100% finish record over past couple of years. Hit key, it goes, everytime. Of course, you can always spend more money developing it. This car could probably be re-registered if needed as i have kep all the parts except soft-top and the wiring/dash/doors etc are not gutted.

2ZZ engine with only 50,000km. Never opened up . Runs perfectly
Custom exhaust headers 4:2:1

possible additions at extra $.... 2GR V6 & 5 speed with mounts, exhaust headers etc. Wide body kit

if anyone is keen on this with a 2GR V6, give me a call as we can use (keep) the 2Z and manual gearbox, and do a deal for the car with the conversion including a E code turbo manual gearbox

Oh no Terry, joining the Lotus crew.  Few of the blokes over there can be quite abrupt & quite frankly, cocks, but I usually just go tell them where to shove it.
 
You buy the Elise from salvage yard?  I am toying with the idea of buying a non-registered elise/exige for race duties.  I cringe at doing anything too wild (or totalling) a 75-80k car on the track.  Every time I think about it and do the sums with the level of kit that is on my Exige I wont see too much change from buying a 15 or 20k unregisterable car and performing same mods (barely enough to make all the effort justifiable).
 
Fell free to PM or email me any details you would not want to publish publicly.  I'll probably pop in with the car at some point and have a bit of a chat.
 
Cheers,
 
James.

thanks James, call in any time.

 
yes, i bought a stat write off. hit both ends, but easy enough for me to fix
 
i agree, i could not afford to race an $80k car
 
so far, the lotus guys i've dealt with have been really helpful, but once we start racing this might change
 
its a '07 elsie with exige F&R clams. Lots of race bits all round as it was tracked for a few years by original owner. uprated gearbox, LSD, steering arms, quick rack, adjustable sway bar, VIPEC ECU etc 
 
its only got a 1ZZ in it, so i 'm looking to change to either 2GR V6 or 2ZZ. Both sitting here ready to go
 
would you happen to have the spline drive "key" for the mags??. if so, could i borrow it o'nite sometime soon, to get my wheels off??

Yep I responded in the aussie elises thread, most of the guys are good, there are just a few trouble stirrers that like to gee me up quite often!  You can borrow the key, when did you want it?  I think it'd be quite alot of work to fit the 2GR in, if you look at the changes required to make it fit in the evora or new Exige S I dont think it'll fit in the 2zz sub frame, at all.  
 
 

Give me a call regarding the wheel key, 0467727415.  Thats my work number, managed to write off my personal phone yesterday, joy.
 
I'll need the wheel key back for the weekend as I've got a fair bit of stuff I've got to start doing before next sprint round in a couple of weeks.
