just curious to see what y'all think?? Personally..... well i'm not sure yet, pictures have a habit of not telling the whole truth, but i quite like and i'm sure it will grow on me. But by the sounds of the technology looks like the 5 series is going to take back the worlds best car award :) :uh-huh:

oh yeah, piccies for those that can't be bothered going to the site:

definitely see the old 5 series in it, and at the moment i prefer the current shape, but i guess i do need to see one of these in the flesh tho.

cheers.

oh yeah for sure, M5 does make things A LOT more interesting, word of a 5.5ltr V10 (i'm sure a very strong F1 connection there) with aboot 368Kw's or aboot 500 horsies, yeah, i think that sounds ok :(:D:D:D:D :uh-huh:

gotta agree, current model does look much better (looks better sitting in the garage too :)) but i'm gonna have to see one for real to make my final opinion.

now that would rock silver, F1 V10, 19,000rpm.... ooooo baby.... :uh-huh:

    • 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.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
