SUPERCHARGED MAZDA MX5 V8 BLOWER HOT ROD CUSTOM TVR GTI on eBay (end time 21-Nov-10 21:07:06 GMT)#ht_1158wt_1139

Probably some hairdresser related joke about a blower in there somewhere, but I like this a lot

The blower does make vision slightly awkward around some left handers

I bet that handles like shite. Nice handling car spoilt by a huge great big lump of iron up front. And how does that pass MOT No point checking the windscreen wipers because all you'll see out of the cockpit is engine.

Ohhh the 70's Hot Rod influence......

Can't help feeling it misses the point of the mx5 though, like fitting a 1600 turbo diesel to an exige or something


v8 miatas are very popular in the states though

but on the other hand, doesn't putting all the bits out a sierra into a 7 miss the point of the sierra? 5 seat family car blah blah blah?

V8 anything is much much cheaper and more available here in North America. You can find the performance parts for them at the local Canadian Tire!
