I think circuit motor/drag/dyno motor lives are all totally different bags to compare.

Especially when one is being used for 10-15mins at a time as opposed to 10 seconds, there is a lot more 'refinement' if you will in a circuit motor.

Thats just my view personally.

If i was having a motor made for a car i intended to circuit, i would use those people who have thier own cars/customer cars out there on a regular basis.

I also guess what the workshop offers aswell. Suspension/brake/drivetrain advice also is a bonus, same for the Campbelfield boys, they know thier RWD Drag rear ends very well as they have played with them for years.

But you cant expect the knowledge to be applied to circuit and vice versa as small differences can return large gains.

The only catch is when they confirm that my motor is a $600 wrecker motor from EKW...they have to shout me a select group of mates a night on the piss, and maybe the strippers :)

HAHAHAH, and not VB from the shepperton strippers.........Johnny Blue from Spearmint & Rhino :huh:

man I'm jealous of that RB20 Roy, blow it up, head to the wreckers, couple of days later your back on the road... keep the tuning spot on, don't run it too hot and bobs your uncle... sure you might miss the extra .5L when putting around town but its a small price to pay and when its on boost it flies

if I had my time again I would have gone down the 32/rb20 path... I was even seriously considering buying your car when you had it for sale a couple of years ago... should have it was good value

It isnt good value. Just like if i sold it now you could easily spend 15k on it just gettign it up to scratch :) Friggin cars. teh best track car is a strd car with suspension and some breathing mods. The quicker you want to go the less you get to drive it and the less rewarding the driving is :laugh: Now i see the error of my ways :O

i would check your 'source' that's a $800 motor in there...

Might wanna check your source mate. Joking, just thought id be a little bitch. Or is roy under quoting his motor to hide the specs further!?! CONTROVERSY! hahaha

2ndly IT WAS A JOKE PEOPLE hence the lol and smiley at the end, I KNOW its stock. Though i may not comment on roys car much or actually know him, I have read many of his posts and conversations on here regarding his engine and turbo setup (stalk much?) as like I previously mentioned, I was looking into a td06 20g also for my car instead of the 3037.

When the guy said your engine wasn't stock, it wasn't in accusation, but more in admiration as he simply couldn't believe the power it was making as well as the response. This is the thing I hate about email/internet, you can never actually interpret the tone of what somebody is saying properly. Reminds me of the Hamish and Andy show the other week when they were talking about angry office memos that don't get their intended tone across and just end up being funny.

That still doesn't mean i am wrong :worship:

The original PANIC had one N, i could post full details at a later date if you want.

Please post some more details and as for your self can you build a motor,if you really want the truth the guy at safeway built the motor in pannic (OK),the transmission was built by the lady at the bp petrol station down the road,My daughters kinda garden teacher painted the car,and my great great grand father did all the dyno tuning.

I hope that answer;s all your question;s retard now i think since you have been told ,its time for you now to have your bottle,put your nappies on and get mummy to tuck you into bed,now dont cry or you will get a smack. ;)

easy john, easy..

i think people say "someone else built it" is because things have been said on ct that eddy rajab built the motor in pannic.. also miles has been at jpc before you started on it and u have owned it..

but i have worked with you before.. and you know very well how long i was locked in that boot!!!.. but in all seriousness i know you have built that motor and many others to date..

well I know who to call next time then... any turbo efi motor is plenty of work to take out, but 2 hours solo is damn quick, does that include stripping it?

na i did an engine change over..

That was engine alone it took me 2 hrs with me n 2 workmates doing it.. took me 20mins to have the gearbox out and tailshaft and exhaust.. but you can see its not hard, you just need the right tools and knowledge..

whats with everyone and having their own workshop "claims" when it comes to high powered record holding street cars? i mean seriously who gives a f**k...

I didnt post those figures on page 1 to start a shit fight, i posted them to give an example of what level John Bresciani and Rob Iloski are on, they are the top when it comes to this tough high powered engines that last, no matter what their used for.

Never claimed to have built an engine John.

I'll let you sort out the details with the original owner, that's if you are on speaking terms :worship:. Your reaction has just justified what i have claimed; anyone that throws a hissy fit that quickly really wants to hide something.

John here's a tip champ: grow up, it helps in life ;)

No stress...i dont take anyting too seriously. But i wouldnt knowingly steer someone into financial heart ache by bullshitting about my engine being stock when its not.

LOL...as soon as drag racing is intrduced into discussions, conversations always become heated. LOL, i think thats where it gets ifs brag racing tag from :)

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
