Hiya Guys and Girls,

My names Sharni, i've never actually had a chance to formaly introduce myself. I've been to a couple of events but never realy stayed to chat, but you cant miss me cause i dirve the yellow 180sx =)

Anyway, just wanted to know by any chance does anybody know someone that has a stock CA air box lying around cause i just got epa'd (DAMN IT!) and desperatly need to borrow it at some stage in June?

AND....I'll be at DECA next week, does anyone have any recommendations for some quick mods before i thrash the poor thing on the track next week. Oh and a REALY blonde question and because i cant be bothered googling it but, what will we be doing on the day, i've never done this motorkhana stuff before???? (guess i shouldv'e checked that before i signed up huh? =)

CA airbox - cant help

Quick mods i guess... nothing IMO

Leave the car as if, you probably more used to driving it how it currently is, why change the balance?

As for the motorkhana... itself.

Have a look here:

There are a few video attachments in the thread from the FEB DECA Day that you can download to give you an idea of the day.

Im just the BBQ man and i have the time of my life... driving would be almost as fun i reckon :)

cheers

im with ash, dont change anything. the day is more focused on driver skill and how the car handles, as apposed to outright power. just keep the car how you are used to it on the street and you should do fine. there are a few girls entering so it should be a good competition. sarah is driving my car so no doubt she will beat me, as she can follow instructions.

you basically loose points for hitting cones and making mistakes. if you do the runs without making mistakes and missing cones then you;ll be fine, as a lot of guys (including me) try and go flat out and make too many mistakes. there are big penalties for mistakes

Quick mod? Don't. Just make sure you have enough oil, check brake fluid, coolant......is quick mod :D. I've seen your car at heathcote.

Hey, welcome.

Can't help you with the airbox sorry, I sold mine about 6 months ago

I still have heaps of other random parts lying around if you need though.

As for mods, what West said, just some general maintenence stuff to make sure the car doesnt die on the day.

S13's are great handling cars anyway, and thats more what the day is about, driver skill and handling.

There isn't enough room for power.

If you did want to do some quick things, front/rear strut braces I guess, and maybe a new set of tyres..?

It doesn't matter if you don't have any mods anyway, the aim of the day is to have fun, and there isn't any way you can't have fun at DECA.

Hi Sharni and welcome. First good step, having a go. The rest is just for the fun of it. In fact this time I'm just going to try to slide as much as possible.

Starting Rain Dance for more sliding goodness.

Sharni - as discussed, you will have an ace weekend at DECA.

The driving part is all about getting out there and having fun, but I guarentee you'll have more fun socialising on the Saturday night than you will driving during the day!!! :nyaanyaa:

See you up there,

:fakenopic:

Thats a big statement from someone who has never done the driving before Bec! :nyaanyaa:

For me whilst the nights are fun the driving is more fun. It's great to be able to legally have some fun in your car and in Vic there's no where better for it than DECA. Especially our event designs!

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.

      You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap

      Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy

      Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
