Crank should be getting balanced over the next few days. So I can finally start putting shit together :)

Got over the idea of cc-ing it. The shape of the piston domes and how it all sits just makes it more trouble then its worth. I already know its going to be between 8.5 - 9:1 so that's all good.

Get it all together and work out what colours I'm gonna paint everything. Sick of looking at the block how it is at the moment. Will look much nicer with some paint on it :)

It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Haha i have a couple of flat brim hats in the cardboard, the car will be dual purpose Rob just a matter of swapping tires and geometry, just wanna build something crazy and over the top, all my ideas i've wanted to do over the years put into one car.

Big f**k off GT Wing check! Low as f**k check! Massive deep dish wheels check! Sidepipe Titanium Exhaust check! V-mount intercooler/radiator check! Fully stripped out no dash and one seat check! Front splitter and Canards that would decapitate someone Fark yeah check!

Drive it like i stole it and hang the hell on, if it doesn't scare the shit out of me every time i drive it, white knuckling the bastard the whole lap and my arsehole chewing on that Bride seat then i'm afraid i have failed this project lol.

Haha that's brilliant, if you had a passenger seat i would of said you should get one of those dash stickers that say "SHUT THE f**k UP I GOT THIS!"

f**k that man you have paid in full it should be ready, i would have paid half now and half when i get it, that's ridiculous man who is doing the build. Does not take that long to build an engine, our Drag engine didn't even take that long, and it has custom built internals and we never paid the full bill until we went down and picked it up.

I don't mind to be honest... I know where it is and shit. JHH Racing is doing it. I trust him and he knows what he is doing. It is because of communication issues that its taking so long.

Shoulda done a JSA before I sent it down and made sure POS.comm was a control...

I hardly think anyone can call Will from JHH Perf. Engineering 'slack'.... Especially not when he builds most SEQ workshop motors, including Godzilla's..... One of the very few he doesnt is Elite's!

He currently has 8-10 motors sitting there..... I sort of doubt Rob's or mine are on the 'ultra urgent' list.....

What i'm getting at is if you generally have already paid something in full you shouldn't have to wait a lifetime to get it. E.g when you order a custom set of rims from Rays that take 3-4 months to be made you usually pay halve up front and the other halve when its ready to be shipped etc.

I know where you are coming from, Ben, but I also understand Will's side too. Total sercurity into the work

nothing worse than ordering $$$$$$ parts and the the guy disappears, only paying enough to cover half.

The only reason I was getting the shits is because I didn't know what the go was with it. Now I do, I have restored faith.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
