Having been a happy Rocket owner for 5-6 years now, I'm beginning to get the inevitable itch of change - so I thought I'd test the market for the Rocket... My MEV (early RTR) Rocket is as follows: Fully road legal - I'll be MOT'ing it in a few weeks too. 1.8 Zetec (Ford ECU - works very well!) Wet painted black frame (not powder coated, so easy to maintain) Koso RX2n dials Intertrim seats Custom wiring loom with all diagrams Redtop battery with Ctek trickle/maintenance charger. Covered around 5k miles since passing the IVA. +loads of other bits I'm quite happy to keep the car, so not in a mega rush to sell - but I do think it would suit someone who wants a car to improve/upgrade (engines etc) but doesn't want the hassle (or expense) of getting the car IVA'd and on the road.. Its only listed on the forum for now - £8000 ono Cheers

Is this still based on an MX5, just with a different engine?

Rockets (and Sonics) are Ford Focus based, with the engine in the rear. This is a 1.8 Zetec and whilst it doesn't state it, I believe (based on age) that its a blacktop Zetec rather than the older Silvertops.

Hi, yes it is a black top 1.8 zetec coupled to an IB5 gear box (to keep the weight down!).. for this car the engine, gearbox including driveshafts, front hubs and rear break calipers are taken from the focus donor... Everything else - chassis etc was new / supplied in the kit.

Right, time to update the cars info (I cant modify the original post?)...
Engine - 1.8 blacktop Zetec, un-modified, using Ford ECU (keycode immobiliser etc). Gearbox - IB5, with new clutch and slave cylinder fitted during build. Frame - RTR fabricated, satin black (wet) paint for ease of maintenance. Front suspension - RD hub/uprights with GAZ adjustable coil over shocks. Rear suspension - Re-enforced rear uprights with optional 'toe' adjustable lower wishbones and GAZ adjustable coil over shocks. Wheels - Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 - 17 inch - fitted with Yokohama Parada spec-2 tyres (~3/4 grip left). Breaks - Wilwood pedal box and front calipers, All disks and pads were new on build (front disks are cross drilled), the car includes a spare set of Mintex fast road front pads (MDB2905 £70+ a set). Exhaust - Custom stainless steel rear exhaust (utilising Ford cat). Electrics - Custom loom supplied with all diagrams. Battery - Varley red-top 15 Motorsport with Ctek maintenance/Trickle charger included with the car. Spare RH engine mount (£100+ Vibra Technics) supplied with car - I haven't got round to fitting it yet! Seats - Intatrim Oddysey II. Clocks - Koso Rx2n (with a fully working fuel gauge!)
Car comes with most, if not all, receipts/history.
Fully road registered and legal, M-O-T until Sept 2017.
I didn't mention in the original post, but this car is a cherished 'garage queen'! its never been out in rain/wet conditions and is garaged at all times, its excellent condition reflects this.
The car is very quick in its current state (sub 5 sec to 60!) I think it would suit someone who wants to run it 'as-is' or possibly upgrade if/when required. £8000 ono.
Cheers
