Boost peaks @ 16psi then drops to about 13psi. Best run was [email protected] but it was a street meet so i broke out, dialled in @ 14.3. I think it may have done a 13.99 by the end of the night if it was a test 'n'tune & could have got more runs in. STUPID me changed into 5th before the finish not thinking

(4th is good for about 180kph) so it may have ran 100mph as well, best mph was 99.8 when it was still daytime. Chiptorques dyno reckons 121kw @ tyres.

Yep, I got awesome performance gains too.. But some times after I back off the throttle, it sounds like the tin man from wizard of oz going for a run.

Oh well, Still, awesome performance gains.

Another vote for Rob Bliss here. His shop did my exhaust about two years ago and it's still going strong :)

Only change needed was to cut the centre muffler out as I wanted more noise, and I had the guys (at a shop in Toowoomba, where I was staying at the time) weld in a couple of flanges.

Slightly OT, but they also made me a track-only pipe that eliminates the cat and exits under the passenger seat, it's really loud :P I dunno whether it makes any more power but geez can you hear the turbo spool! :D

My opinion is to fully check out the shops work. If you see an exhaust that you like ask the owner. I got stung with my IC pipes big time shop will remain nameless but they were in the list. I had to redo pipework for the following reasons I had a oddysey battery which he was aware of yet he ran pipework past the positive battery terminal (the battery terminal had cover on it) as the battery sat on side the pipework thumped against battery posts causing internal breakage. pipework rubbed on bonnet and together. pipe to throttle body blew off on dyno (dyno operater guessed who did work even when I refused to tell him who did it!)and final insult was a shit tin pod filter replacing a 1 month old K&N panel filter (which is now in ol' man's navara) cost was $600 for export paint painted pipework. My mate and I redid all of it ourselves had it HPC coated piping for around $300! Please don't fall in same trap I did!

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
