lol yeh i need to get heat wrap also, anyone know where to get some cheap heat wrap or even HPC done?

Heat wrap is cheaper..

HPC is quite expensive..

Which is best?.. I guess we will have to wait and see..

Sometime next week.. Ill start a thread in the NA section where people can dicuss their experinces with heat wrap VS HPC.. Stock VS coby.. Power band increased.. instalation.. etc. etc.

should be interesting to see..

Hi guys,

Got my coby hpc coated extractors fitted this week as well as hi flow cat and 2.5" system and xforce cannon, sounds good, quiter then i though, my gf lancer is louder lol, idle and low revs it sounds good, but about 3k it gets a bit raspy and quite, hmm not sure if thats normal, doesnt sounds like the normal skyline sound, only like i said low revs and and idle it does, any thoughs?

Hey so we have all paid eug have you transfered the money to coby just wondering when we will be getting the extractors seems like mic r33 got his fairly quick will ours be quick. just wondering

lol how else could you get these coby extractors besides a group buy?

by contacting partsco directly.

dont these come with a flange ready to bolt to the cat?

do you have to get that done yourself once these arrive?

no flanges. the stock cats (from japan) are the long oval shaped ones, most aftermarkets are short cylindrical ones.

usually a small pipe/flange is required to make the angle fit. a simple 10 minute job.

about 3k it gets a bit raspy and quite, hmm not sure if thats normal, doesnt sounds like the normal skyline sound, only like i said low revs and and idle it does, any thoughs?

no rapsy'ness at low revs for me.

most people seem to get the 3k metalic ring regardless of extractors/exhaust setup.

it seems to be an I6 twin cam thing, as i've heard some M3s with a similar tone

Hey so we have all paid eug have you transfered the money to coby just wondering when we will be getting the extractors seems like mic r33 got his fairly quick will ours be quick. just wondering

yes i have the money from everyone

the order has been sent, however i'm still awaiting confirmation of the order. your monies are waiting for them to provide the bank account details with the finalized totals.

mic_r33 decided not to go with the GB a long time ago, i'm not sure when he placed the order - but for single orders they (partsco) do have the odd 1 or 2 sitting on the shelf. so it's a matter of packaging it and sending it off.

but if you want the cheaper prices then they will want to recieve the money first, then confirm the order with coby and which coby will then manufacture the required amount.

cheers

eug

Yeh shipping was quick, and they had the extractors in stock, longest part was transfering money and getting them sent to HPC to get coated and returned, but shipping was just over a week

funds have been sent... please be patient guys it's completely out of my hands now.

and for those who want to say otherwise I have forked out an extra $60 of my own money in calls and to make up the difference in the sudden rise in exchange rate.

alright - i've opted to use paypal in this case and we managed to clear the funds within 1 day!

i called up partsco this morning and craig has assured me that they have given your orders a priority.

fabrication begins monday and we might get these to you prior to christmas (fingers crossed for xmas shipping).

Hey Eug will they tell you when they are done or have you given them our address's already. if they let you know can yu post when they are done and will they bit shiny metal like in micr33's pic

btw Eug, i saw your post that u said you forked out $60 extra of your own money, i know i wasnt in the group buy but i have to hand it to you your a nice bloke for doing that for everyone, i didnt see anyone post anything about it after you said it unless they PMed you but thumbs up for Eug

no, unfortunately i didnt get any PMs :) but thanks for the kudos!

we didn't expect exchange rates to change so dramatically - i guess i should have factored that in, but i wasn't in it to make a 'profit' as such. what was quoted to me in NZD was converted directly to the nearest AUD.

Ribby, Mic's are shiney because of the HPC - they paint over it in a nice silver paint.

Coby normally do theirs orange, however if we're lucky I've requested everyone get a stealth black.

    • 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!
