Nope,not my cup of tea.

I drink Coffee.

If you like corner carving, you're missing out. MX5s are absolutely amazing to drive as long as you don't want to go stupendously fast in a straight line (or up a hill).

As for the douchefag with the "twin turbo MX5", most four-stroke 4 bangers don't have enough exhaust pulses to spool up a pair-in-a-series turbos, unless you use tiny turbos, or want to have a really narrow powerband. At which point, you'd be better off with a big single.

Aside from the 2JZ-GTE I can't see anyone bothering to put two same-sized turbos in a series configuration.

If he was running twin sequential turbos of differing sizes (like on the old Liberty B4 and FD RX-7s) it'd be different.

mx5 = 1 seriously wicked handling little roadster...go for a ride in one and see for yourself...you will wear the dolmio grin icon4.gif

haha lol

as for the guy not cool.

as for the car there pretty fun to drive. quite . . . zippy lol

there pretty gay really nice for a chick ot a male hairdresser or something lol

the 10 sec one, are u thinking of the pink one? that ones in sydney

scathing, very rarely will you ever see turbs in series, i've only ever seen it once or twice, what your referring to is sequential, its a differt thing

For the record of people dissing the mx5 it is the best handling road car ive ever driven, basically handles like a go kart. You wack a rotary in it 12a or similar turbo charged and youve got a 700kg bullet wack some coilovers on and hit the mountains you'll piss your pants and kill any honda.

this thread reminds me of this guy... from here in melbourne i think. bought a R33 to my old town and had the same sticker set off the R34 in 2f2f.... the went on to say that he bought the car from the movie and its just been tuned by panasonic for 390rwkw.... and they chuked in the latest deck because of how famous the car is...... i couldnt be bother arguing with him.... just pulled mine out of the garage....... the subject changed to the girls this greese ball was after.....

i think i can even remember his name..................... can belive i spoke to him long enough to ask for it........

Maybe he means it does 0-100kmh in 10.9secs now?? haha

I've been in one of the new MX-5's and yeah awesome handling, similar to the RX-8's only smaller, but totally guttless in the engine comartment. We gave a mate in a v6 VN commadore a run and got beaten!....

2 Turbo's eh...

perhaps he things that the compressor housing (intake) is 1 turbo and the turbine housing (exhaust) is the other?

just a thought... maybe he thinks the 2 turbo wheels are actually 2 turbo's?

welcome to yesterday bitch :D

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
