Well some of you may know that before I had the Lexus, well in fact many cars before, I had a Eunos Roadster which I adored. I literally lost blood, sweat and tears over this car - and a hell of a lot of money.


It finished up looking like this:

[Image: ITBSetup.jpg]



Then two weeks after I completed the project, I stupidly sold it.




After many cars in between - here is it's successor... and it will be superior in every way.

It's a proper project car needing work in all areas... but the base is extremely solid and it shall be a LOT of fun Big Grin

The spec is curently as follows:
1993 Mazda Eunos Roadster S-Ltd (special edition)
1.6 16v 4cyl
5 Speed manual gearbox

Engine
HKS Turbocharger kit
HKS Air filter
FMIC
320cc injectors
Dual feed fuel rail
Turbosmart dump valve
Manual boost controller

Drivetrain and Handling
Cusco front upper brace
Carbing rear upper brace
Cusco front lower brace
Cusco rear lower brace
Bilstein shocks
Brake master cylinder brace
Modex (Keiichi Tsuchiya) 16" wheels

Electronics
Omori boost gauge
Blitz turbo timer
Greddy eManage ultimate
Greddy map sensor
Innovate motorsports LC1 wideband controller
Magnecor HT leads

Interior
S-ltd red leather seats with red trim
Nardi steering wheel
Aftermarket pedals
Chrome ball knob
Matt finished instrument binacle

Exterior
Rear boot spoiler
Black lexus style rear light clusters
Huge front lip spoiler
Carbon fibre vented headlight lid
Turn signal intakes

+ spare 16" split rims (pictured above)

It's currently pushing out a conservative 200bhp (from a stock 114bhp), however the setup is capable currently of 250bhp which it has run on a dyno to show it can do it. I clearly want more than that Big Grin



I've been slowly collecting mods / service parts to bring it up to standard, as it does need a lot of work. These parts consist of:

Koyo aluminium radiator
AK Automotive black silicon coolant hoses
Grooved front brake discs
Replacement rear brake discs
Mintex brake pads all round
HKS oil filler cap
HKS high pressure radiator cap
Tein springs
Red tuner wheel nuts
Greddy profecB spec 2 boost controller
Greddy gearknob
Gliptone liquid leather repair kit
Suzuki cappucino style alloy washer bottle relocation kit
Replacement centre console
Replacement door handles
Replacement air vents
Rev9 fender flares
Tuning laptop
New battery
Oil / Oil filter / Spark plugs / brake fluid / coolant
+ hopefully (when the guy replies) high lift cams with vernier pulleys and a cut cam cover to expose the gears.


So lots to do to get it back on the road, as it will need a good mapping session too and get it running a modest bar of boost. So all I can say is, watch this space - I plan to turn this into something really special.

Hmmmm turbo Eunos :w00t:

Looks like a lot of polishing and painting to do, for a start it needs to be yellow :lol:

totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

In my opinion, only paint should be polished. I HATE blinged engine bays - subtle is the way forward. Big Grin

Yellow?! HELL no!

Hehe - each to their own my friend Big Grin We can't all like the same thing as that would be boring! Variety is the spice of life, so they say Smile

I would love to say it feels good, but it's not on the road yet. Needs some urgent jobs doing (springs/MOT/Tax/Insurance) and then I can drive her. Will probably need to start tuning first before I go for a spank too :/
