You will never notice that price over a year, it's less than €1 a day.
Honestly, the S40 doesn't even compare to how much fun you'll have in the MX5.
I know, but the MX5 I will keep in Holland (Wich I will go to every 2 months).
the S40 is not for fun but for driving
Remember that I pay 43 euros a month for insurance now and 300-ish roadtax.
and isnt it better to build up NCB here and then do the Mx5 as import as second car?0 -

You can't use your NCB on a second car in Ireland, you'll have it on the first car but you'll have to start fresh on the second. So if your reason is to build up NCB and run them both, in doesn't make sense.
You could also sell the S40 and be up €1800 for the year, ever consider that? 0 -
I must admit I'm seriously tempted.
One of my colleagues got a pretty simple modification to well known 4ZZ-FE engine (95bhp/130Nm):
- 1ZZ-FE intake manifold + throttle body + airbox to throttle body hose off avensis,
- 1ZZ-FE exhaust manifold off celica (slight modifications to fit to corolla exhaust),
- all the rest remains unchanged.
Result:
Although power's not up significantly (well, 20bhp more, but available within very narrow range of revs), but at least 130Nm available from as low as ~2700 rpm is something worth fighting for.
What ya think?0 -

Yes, I maybe.. but I also don't want to destroy the MX5 and let it get a lot of km on itYou can't use your NCB on a second car in Ireland, you'll have it on the first car but you'll have to start fresh on the second. So if your reason is to build up NCB and run them both, in doesn't make sense.

The S40 (which I hate) and MX5 are two completely cars to be fair. Literally off the phone with a friend who says he wants a car like mine (S60) so he might go and test drive a GTI
Eh...you're doing it wrong.
i would choose the 940 2.3 LPT but I cannot insure it in Ireland.. if it exists in the first place :P same as 850R0 -

tuning is the key115bhp short on a 850R, no?

And this is excluding a turbo and exhaust upgrade
Or a B230FK with 16v head..

My friend left her car in midway for the weekend, when we got back to it this,
Was stuffed in her exhaust :eek:
It was stuffed right the way into the silencer, must've taken a few minutes to do.
Only for the end was left hanging out we wouldn't have known.
I dunno what it is, it was like fake hair, would something like this go on fire in an exhaust? (Btw it's an 02 punto)0 -
