btw, if ur getting 1 that uses the stock pipes then there will be basically no diff in throttle respomse. I have a hybrid 1 which has much longer piping than stock and i only noticed atiny bit... and even then i think it may have been psychological

I'm glad you asked.

First tank - 12.85L/100km

Second tank - 12.6L/100km

Overall this seems about the same as what it was doing prior to the mods (obviously I'm putting my foot down a little more than usual given the newness of my extra power).

This is city driving. Driving to work, start stop traffic, 40-70-80km/h zones.

Will be interesting to see a highway cycle.

that's pretty good considering i get around the same with a DEAD stock car. So more power, and same fuel economy, sounds good to me :P

yeah, see how you go with non-spirited driving. If you can get into the 11's, that would be crazy. The modifications would start paying for themselves :D

i'm looking for the 200rwkw's too, and have the almost the exact same exhaust mods (waiting to go on car) So this is a tops thread!

so roughly how much in total did the tuning cost?

$750 for the tune. I was quoted cheaper but I went with what I thought was 'the best'. Of course, I've got nothing to compare this to so I don't really know.

One thing I've noticed is my take-off isn't as smooth as it used to be, but I'm being very picky about it and it's easy to just rev it a little more and it's fine. Right now I've just adjusted my driving style slighty. I guess a 2 days tune cannot compare to the millions of dollars of research Nissan has probably spent getting it right.

It's very possible I'll get better than stock fuel economy. The fuel mixtures are very conservative stock and are much leaner on cruise now.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
