I thought it was meant to be fun but Adrian made it a big deal to my Son, when he said that he will get 206rwkw (to beat my Wife's 205rwkw).

He said he wanted to make sure that he took home the trophy that he had asked to be "shined up" for him.

umm.. its called a lil bit of harmless shit stirring! in case you didn't notice, i asked ben to fudge my figures to scare wil!!! its all fun and games!! i don't think adrian would have meant your wife to take it seriously!!

i think you need to lighten up a lil!!!

woah!!! i didn't realise that my comments which are on topic equate to postwhoring! i keep that to the relevant threads!!

who is mr stock?

and yes.. i see that not everyone is happy.. i'm just saying that there were alot of cars that were on that dyno... and uas were obviously having some probs... but at the same time, alot of people got power figures they were expecting.. so who can say!!! ben was rushed to put cars through.. maybe he forgot to connect his cables properly on a few runs... someone said there was a faulty connection! so MEH! shit happens! this was meant to be a fun day, and i think most people had fun!

and there really is no need for you to be so rude!

ps if anything i think adrian has a right to win... he has a stock turbo... with nos he owns the stock turbo catergory!!!

Well.... You obviously know who "Mr Stock" is.

I have not tried to be rude but I have been waiting for someone to tell me personally what had happened. How would you feel if your name was on the board, and then the next time you looked it was rubbed off etc etc. (I am still wondering this on my Wife's behalf).

Until someone decides to start another thread (or reply to my PM - cmon Adam) I will try to work out what happened, other than the the "Bezerkeley Circus" running things.

did anyone see this go on the dyno??? what did it make???

and sorry elbee, i may not have been there for the entire day but i was there for a hell of a lot longer than 30 minutes....

Hey, thats my car. It was running very lean & started to ping & wasnt taken very hard. it ran 187kw at just over 3500rpm, then 265 at not full throttle. With a fresh tune, more boost ill be expecting around the 300. Was an awesome day! I had a ball. :P

Good idea mate. I have Adrian's number.

Maybe I will ask him for yours too.

Good night.

hahahaha. i have no idea who adrian is. all im reading is 'wah wah blah blah im a cry baby'.

u come here attacking random ppl for no reason when obviously u only have some problem with this adrian bloke.

u have his number so go talk to him ffs. no one wants to hear about it.

So, what is the clear classification of 'stock turbo'? Is 'stock turbo' refering to the internals as well (as the title suggests), or is 'stock turbo' simply the housing only, so therefore elbee has a right to complain about the management of the comp side of the event?

This is getting WAY too petty

The only thing that makes our turbo "aftermarket" is that I have told anybody who will listen that I had it rebuilt and hi-flowed after I blew it up.

El Bee

i don't get this! so you're saying you would have liked to have lied? claimed your turbo was stock to win the stock turbo catergory?!

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
