Yes, I have been budgeting for this build for 2 years working 6 days a week.

I have been sacrificing all unnecessary luxuries for this - No beer!, no going out, no movies etc. I WISH I had too much money.

In fact, I am still working 6 days a week, preparing for Racepace's BILL..... :D

I will pics of brakes tonight.

Edited by Houghy
Can someone recommend a workshop who can carry out the engine build and tuning, besides RACEPACE.
Racepace has taken on the job

:) I lol'd

Kit costs $9500-9800 depending on vendor.

:rant: Fark man. Your brakes are worth more than most cars on the road.

Yes, it is very astute of you to notice that I asked for recommendation for a workshop for the build besides Racepace and then to announce a week or so later that Racepace has taken on the job. I have a very good explanation for this strange behavior. However, I am not at liberty to disclose this until the time is appropriate.

I will post pictures of V Cam unwrapping over weekend perhaps.

    • So you're now accepting offers of 10% more than the cost of the turbo kit fitted?
    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
