Sad Day - My MX6 for sale.

**Storm** · 7-28-09, 6:46

Well, I guess I knew that this day had to come, but actually doing it is harder than I thought.

I've just taken delivery of another vehicle and my 6 must go.
Brief description (Will get Einstein to host & post the photos later).

1995 N Reg MX6 (black) - she now has exactly 100,080 miles on her.
Tax is out at the end of this month, MOT until January.

Lowered 30mm on Lesjofors springs
17 inch Mazda 6 sport alloys with Avon's on the front and Toyos on the back.
Full powerflow s/s exhaust (twin 3 inch pipes) with modified cat and decat pipe (cat can be removed & refitted for MOT).
Spoiler Brake light
Short air filter
S/S sills
s/s Radiator shroud
Kenwood minidisc head unit (4x50w) with 10 cd changet in the boot
Leather interior (black) - bolster is worn but whole
Toad alarm (ultrasonic) & immobiliser with two fobs
Silicone plug leads
RR Racing Short throw shifter (RR Racing leather boot is fitted as are the poly bushings for the linkage)
Working electric arial

The bad bits - rust on back arches and drivers sill/door bottom (2 inches square-mostly paint bubbling) - apart from that, she still runs like a sweetheart. Lots of receipts - bear in mind I've had her for 6 years now and covered about 48k miles without a cough or splutter.

Whilst I am aware that she is worth more as parts than a whole car, I don't have the time or facilities to break her, therefore I'm looking for £700 ono for her. I don't have a problem if someone or a group want to buy her for parts for distribution around members.

Other spares lying around not on the car:

Tockico Illuminas with eibach springs - they are with Russel G in Hull (from Einstein's 626GT and never fitted to mine) - £150 is what I paid - sounds reasonable now too. (sold to Jamo)
Bodykit - grey primed - Invader side skirts and rear skirts with standard front lip - £150
Cold Air Intake - minus the jubilee clips (from Orderoc)
Strut Braces front & rear (rear sold)
Set of 17inch allows (Oddballs) two with tyres (Wheels are Wolfrace)
Set of 15 inch standard MX6 Alloys (not the pie dish ones) with tyres.
Black headlight protectors (just for the "stealth" look)

The stuff that's not priced, I'll just say "offers" - I may be Scottish, but I'm not difficult to deal with!!!!!

Lord, you don't half accumulate a lot of stuff over the years don't you.....................

A very sad day indeed :-(

I am interested in the the Tockico's and body kit but as usual when these things come up I'm skint just as I was last time they did gggrrrrrr.....
I'll be watching this thread with interest to see if they are still available when i've got funds.

Pm'd you about the Illuminas and springs

RJSzynal · 7-29-09, 3:19

Damn! everyone beat me to it! The one thing on the list I wanted, also hull is only 20 mins drive away from me! I can see it from my house.

lol
I don't actually have any money at the moment though so I suppose that saves my overdraft

**Storm** · 7-30-09, 8:25

Dave,

Seeing as I'm getting older, I thought I'd better start acting my age.

Pipe and slippers ordered - 2001 Saab 9-3 Turbo.

Will,

There's a pic here of the headlight protectors which, coincidentally, came from MX6-UK's Pacific Blue MX6.

Damn I envy you lot I spend all my time either in a Luton or a HGV these days, occasionally get to drive the wife's diesel monster, as the Tubby has gone, due to lack of use.

Clive, try and give the runners a clean. When I replaced my drivers glass I gave the runners a squirt with WD40 and what a difference
