I've already explained what happened sooooo many times today, but here goes again:

A bunch of us were cruising along Warringah Rd in Forestville when some absolute champion that none of us knew in a heavily modified S13 joined the group.

I was in the right hand lane merging into the centre lane as he flew from the left hand lane, wastegate open & screaming into the centre lane, he realised he was about to rear-end me, he swerved left, hit the gutter & came straight back into my car (which I had already moved back into the right hand lane) pushing me up onto the median strip where i came to a halt.

The Silvia driver suggested we exchange details & not involve the police in the matter.....I was like 'WTF?'

We called the cops as he called a towie & loaded his car up in an unsuccessful attempt to leave before the police arrived.

I guess there's more to tell, but I'm pretty damn sick of thinking about it right now as this whole week has been absolute shit and then my car gets totaled to top it off......

Anyone else who was at the scene can add any other details i may have omitted in my now semi-conscious state (I didn't get much sleep last night).

WTF ??? Dave , sorry to hear man - I travel that way all the time - that blows big time. Do you know if the S13 was a local ?? If you don't mind, PM me the plates of the S13.

Hope it works out OK 4 u !

Cheers,

I couldnt not believe the driving of the "champion" in the silvia, being in the unfortunate position of watching the entire thing from the back was extremely bloody scary. We should all be thankful that Dave is ok and more to the point that nobody was hurt and no other cars damaged in the incident.

There is no excuse for the driving of that idiot.

AKTUNG indeed

    • 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.
