Hello Roadster builders!!
Got given the build bible for xmas by the mrs and have since been lurking around on the forum, thought it was about time to sign up and introduce myself! :)
I've been slowly stripping my pride and joy (a highly modded Vauxhall Vectra) that I've had for 10 years and as it's nearly at the stage where I can get rid, I've been looking around for a suitable donor.
My initial plan was to go the sierra route as per the book, get the IVA out of the way and then use the 2ltr Ecotec from my Vectra coupled with a bell housing adapter on to the type9, however, I'm now coming round to the idea of an MX-5 as a donor as there are trillions of them on e-bay and only 1 or 2 sierras. Plus, you can't beat Jap reliability.
Anyway, thought Id better stop lurking and say Hi!
Cheers
Chris
