Hey Guys,

Just a heads up... I think the boys in blue are doing a crack down as we speak as i have noticed alot of defect stations over the past 2 weeks especially down south near Seaford...

PLUS: when you get pulled over at a defect station on the side of the road, do they pop your bonnet??? I was deffected about a year ago, and they booked me for ride hight and they didn't pop my bonnet but i was thinking as my car is nice and stock on the out side appart from mags and front bar, weather they would pop my bonnet and look for other things???

Cheers

Jamie

Ive been through 5 times and never had to put a stock exhaust system back on.

Last time I went thru I thought it was kinda loud. Turned out fine.

Turbo timer not just disconnected but fully removed.

It's illegal to have a turbo timer installed? How come i can pass a roadworthy with it connected though?

Never mind...

Car is completely stock engine wise...

However, is it illegal to have a front strut brace or a boost gauge mounted just on top of the air vent of the drivers side???

Cheers for your help :worship:

Strut brace fine. Boost gauge no

Depends where the boost gauge is, if its in a vent or down below the dash it is fine, on the dash or a pillar you can't have it though.

Turbo timer is illegal because if you have a crash and the car get a fuel leak and it keeps running, sup massive fire. They shouldn't have given you roadworthy with it connected.

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • 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
