well the way i see it michael.

I've gotta get atleast pistons, there ~1200, then machine work, ~1k, then may aswell get rods aswell 890, then whats the point in putting the shitty stock head on with that fully built bottom end (have got all studs, bearings, acl headgasket now) when i have the ported blank head there that will be going on at a later date.

the budget i set aside to get the thing running by december didnt include new pistons or the likes, so this year is now certainly outta the picture. im over it, anyone got a light? sigh

Can i ask why you didnt allow for pistons and rods? I thought you had all those things already?

Crank isnt a big deal, if its just scoring its easy enough to go 10 or 20 thou over size.

Who would be doing the machine work if your getting the bottom end done? Cause you would need to do it right, since your aiming for big power....and i dont know how many shops out there know the tricks you need to do inorder to do it properly.

when i bought the bottom end, i was told it had forged pistons in it, hence not needing new ones, and not budgeting for them.

nah crank s easy, dan's got a spare he was gonna throw out lol. theres grooves worn in the front and rear oil seals, and the crank pulley gear woodriff key hole is rounded off!

dan's getting me all the parts, and he's getting chilton to do the bottom end work, i'm getting john hill to finish the porting in the head.

looking at a gt42r with the .90 rear and a set of jun 272 11.35 cams, with .5mm os inlet & 1.0mm os exhaust valves

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
