You said the magic words, i'm there. Steak and Snags is no problem...Everyone just brings their own or what ever.

alright a saturday it is... i will definatly have it.. so yeah, keep you saturdays open in august... i will get the dates of mother and will let you know asap of when it is... the condition is that if we go for a highspeed long cruise, i have shotgun in the passanger side of someones car, seeing as myn is n/a = slow

well put it this way, once you have been in a turbo, it makes the n/a blooyd frustrating... for eg.. when pete smith had the s15...

we were at some lights just to see the diff... s15+sr20 turbo...

and basically.. by say.. 50m he was atleast a car length ahead, with my foot flat to the floor, overdrive off, and power on

as me and boxcar racer discussed this at length today, we have come up with this what we think is a wonderful idea...

meet at robina - around 11:30am.. (theres a petrol station just off the freeway to meet up at)

then we will do a short version of the mad mt run back to front.

This is to go up to hinze damn, then come back through the valley down to murwilimbuh and up terranora rd from there to boxcars place. so we could start cooking at 1:30ish then to a bit of a pissup and ppl can cruise back when they like up the pacific back home..

other ideas welcome.

yes that sounds like a nice idea...

but i was thinking more of aafternoon slash night... so it could start off as a BBQ, and could end up this giant piss up party.. were everyone can drink.. get drunk, keep drinking, then drink some more, pass out, be woken up only to drink more....

and basically yeah.. maybe im an alcoholic.. but yeah.. im happy if whoever drinks can stay thenight and sober up.. because i have house to myself.. there is plenty of couches and a couple of beds.. so yeah.. whatever ppl want.. im easy..

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • 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.
