parts to make way for newer ones as I had planned on it being a regular track day car and thought that would be a more reliable option for this use. I
also have limited space that will not allow an untaxed vehicle to be broken in.
Seemed to me that using the net u could get many if the required components from cars broken by others at a reasonable price.
Am I going completely wrong here?
The chances are all the kits that use a MX5 as a donor are for the Mk 1 and 2... The Mk3 I would guess is quite different.
Probably 5 stud hubs vs 4 for the Mk 1/2, it might have a wider drivetrain so the driveshafts are longer, the steering column might be different to
accomodate the duratec... this is whereyou really need to do your research and buy wisely.
A single donor if usually by far the cheepest way of doing it as there's all sorts of little things you don't realise you need that end up
costing.
