Hey Rezz,

As you said you'll provide alternative parts from those big brand jap names Apex Trust HKS, etc... so I got a question...

What kind of (any) electronic boost controller that you cater for? Are there more out there beside AVC-R/HKS EVC/Greddy SBC?

Thank's for ur time. G'luck with the new venture.

Very good question... I was wondering when someone might ask this.

Basically, Apex (in paticular) as well as HKS, Trust etc have the car electronics side of things tied up. No other "unknown brands" really produce anything up to par. Sure, plenty of Garages produce their own pre-programmed ROM or sports ECU`s, but they don`t sell them unless they fit them... pretty hard if your not in Japan.

So until an "unknown brand" produces a good boost controller or AFC or Programmable ECU, it`s best that you buy one of the big name brands.

Pivot is out there though isn`t it? I`m still hanging out for M2 to bring out there electronics goods... (drool)

By the way, *M2* is the new super brand from Japan. These guys are unstoppable. They`ve gone from a little Titanium muffler for an EG Civic a few years back, to a complete (growing) line-up of super low-price goods, eg: A$285 (each) 17"x9.5" deep-dish alloy wheels... all developed in-house. It`s like they bring out a new product each month.

Rezz;

Super idea concentrating on the so called 'no name brands' as opposed to the big names...i have a feeling the prices will be very tempting. Just one question, are we able to obtain technical data to compare these products with big name products?

Good luck in your adventure and hope to do business with you soon.

Regards.

Thanks Jetdat, much appreciated!

As far as technical data is concerened, I`m pretty much at the whim of magazines like Option2 and Drift Tengoku to do independent tests of the products I deal with. So far, they`ve just tested 3 or 4 cheap brands against each other, not against the big name brands though.

I well aware that sometimes cheap = nasty, so I`ve screened everything before putting it on my website. So basically, if it isn`t vale for money and/or doesn`t improve performance/increase the driving experience, then I don`t want to sell it.

well i am sure you will document some of the test results in your website along the way, which would help in the decision making when comparing and choosing the products you will be promoting....

Hi Rezz, good luck with the venture - I am sure it will go well:)

While I am here, I have been looking everywhere for an oil filter adaptor and/or filter remote locator (annodised preferrabley), that can be used with an oil cooler and has a built in thermostat (or oilstat) It is driveing me nuts as they just dont seem avaible anywhere! Any chance you have seen or can get?

Also looking for an overfloor brace that goes between the seat belt points in a skyline, doluck make them but the are bloody expensive.

Sorry I couldnt wait for the website, I am just getting excited.

Cheers

Steve

    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return
    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
