haha, mine's in 2WD at the moment, getting ready for a dyno hopefully......I'd have to be suicidal to give it too much right now. I hit it hard at just over 60kph the other day and it got sideways on dry road almost immediately. If I fang it with a slight ripple in the road right now its too much of a handfull.

chad, would be interesting to see how she does in 2wheel drive, id say nowhere too fast lol...not in a straight line anyways. Im up for hillzy when you are mate.

you'd be suprised how much grip it still gets, my coilovers a fair soft, so it grips well, wont even spin the rears when boost hits in second gear, keen as for the hills, might have to get Jenkies to organise another Gorge mission, but i think i'll keep it in 4wd, i seem to still get sidway with it on. :D

impressive pete. geez, mine is a handful with 260rwkw, let alone that much...can i ask where you ended up choosing to get it tuned?

I haven't decided yet Ryan.......I want someone who knows PFC's backwards but doesn't want my children as payment, lol

yeah I think my very stiff suspension doesn't help because it lets go of the rear every time in 2nd as it starts to boost and I don't think the Attessa Pro likes it too much.

If your talking about hills, im up for it when i get my suspension done, trust me i do know how to drive.. Tom was enjoying the nice easy drive cough cough this morning while we were late for school.

doesn't matter if you can drive out there! depends on if you can keep up to some of these nut cases :)

but Pete..... isn't it more fun breaking traction like that? :banana:

its ok if it keeps some sort of reasonable line, but this thing just snaps too quick to be fun so I'm looking forward to 4WD again

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
