MX5 with Rocketeer Conversion.


SootySport

Recommended Posts

2001 NBFL SVT version.   75000 miles 

Blue Metallic. MOT till Oct. 2025.
6spd manual box and Torsen 3.6 LSD

Conversion was carried out 5 years ago by a mechanical engineer, he also  renewed the front chassis rails to factory standard , converted the car from auto to manual gearbox, fitted a half cage and all alloy Mishimoto radiator. 

In my 4 year ownership I've fitted Meister Zeta CRD coilovers, stainless steel chassis stiffeners and under front wing frog arms (no more scuttle shake), Conti Premium Contact 6 tyres, new starter, alternator battery. Cills were rebuilt by professional bodyshop and painted in body colour with factory finish.  No rust, dents or damage to body panels.
Interior trim is all original undamaged with Radio/CD player.  
Hood just been revitalised with Renovo Hood Restorer kit.

V5 updated by DVLA with new engine details.

The full Rocketeer conversion kit would cost you almost £12,000 if they were available but they are not at the present time.  Also save yourself up to a years work on conversion time. 

Bad bits,   Some inevitable stone chips to front panel and bumper,  boot lid and passenger door paint faded.

They are a fab engine. I have an MK which comes onto the rollers occasionally and it made 272hp last time on, and sounded superb!
