Who's is the turbo kit on yours? The other car has a FM kit which means I'd pay more for it than a Greddy kit. But I thought the Greddy only fitted on the 1.6. So who's manifold are you using?

[MX-5 Lazza]

The fact the other car is an iS so is a higher spec car and has an FM kit/Link ecu/550cc injectors/etc. would make it a more expensive car. However, I think yours is probably not far off being priced right (advertise for £4500, take £4000 or possibly a bit less) whereas the other is overpriced and should go for no more than £5000.
It's also black which will be much easier to sell than yellow which is a love or hate colour.

You'll be competing with this also

You're better off standardising the car and selling off the good bits on ebay or wherever and sell the car as an 'unmoleseted' example. Generally speaking you may get more in parts than the whole.

Actually, your looks like a 'home brew' kind of kit so £4k is unrealistic and not achievable IMHO

Good luck nonetheless

Hate to think what he has been towing with that !!!

In fairness that one does look to be at the bottom end of the turbo market with lots of room for improvement to be made/added

I sometimes think a tow bar would be usefull. A small trailer with track tyres in it would be handy

Or I did once see an MX5 towing a small sailing dingy. Not exactly going to stress the car that.
