Well I'm out *cries* :P

Mark or Jimmy, if one of you wants my spot it's yours...

I put my car in the workshop for oil change + check over for track day and discovered massive issues, and they told me a big NO WAI to track day ;)

Real reason, she is scared of teh mazda powah!!!

My clutch literally sh@t itself when it heard teh awesomenesssss of the MX5 was gonna be there!

:-)

On a plus, looks like i should have it sorted in the next couple of weeks!

hehe ok chubbs you got me :P

Cant remember what they said Steveo... there was lots of things... engine has to come out apparently (I think that was the welsh plugs?) ;)

Going to pick it up in a sec so I'll let you know...

Leaking welsh plugs

Turbo exhaust manifold stud snapped - leaking

Castor arm bushes

Alt belt & A/C belt

Clutch slave cylinder

Cam cover gaskets

Also got coolant leaking everywhere... even though only a couple of months ago I got a new top tank, core and water pump all done... so I don't know what's going on there. It was supposed to be all fixed up :)

So yeah, time to save some pennys lol

Thought we were meeting on side of road under Campbelltown exit bridge @ 7:15am???? :P

Ah yes, I forgots!!

7:15 after the bridge on the left, 2nd campbelltown exit :(

Thinking about heading down on sat and staying somewhere down there. Anyone know if this is a ridiculous idea i.e. is Marulan a hole in the middle of nowhere ?? (no offence to marulanites)

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
