Long time between updates...

Raced at wakefield in June - car felt really off power.

I even had a swift Gti pull away from me down the straight.

I only managed a 1.14.3, had brand new semi's too

so took the car to a mates place after it, had 105-110 psi across all four.

after some research and talking to folks, got it to monaco performance just near newcastle - turns out the timing belt had skipped a tooth on the exh cam and put the timing all out. good job it is a non-interference motor. got it all fixed, oil change too, new plugs, back upto 170psi

car feels good once again so have entered a supersprint 2 weeks time just as more a practice run before MRA in october

now I want 1.13's!!

clappa - already done! according to natsift I am 3 seconds quicker - and according to his hand timing he is 15 seconds quicker LOL

ryan - no chance unless I have turbro powahs

Update!!!!

Best now is a 1.12.8 at wakie and 1.06.1 at SMP south.

Latest mods are straight through exhaust (no muffler!) and v70a semi slicks.

Bought a second hand adaptronic ecu, loom and map sensor too.

Just dropped car off at DVS tuning to fit it now.

Did a base run before ecu and got 77.6rwkw. When I got the exhaust mod done at mx5 mania it made 92rwkw. Yep, manias reads mega high!!!!

First race for the year is jan 27 for MRA in mx5 challenge

    • its Masterton Motorplex just over the hill out of wellington. 
    • R31 boot how I received the sub, cleaned and today new carpet installed. Thank you Solder!!!!
    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
