i want to replace the O2 censor on my rb20, but it is far too tight, quite possible fused in there. i cant really get a larger shifter in there to get more leaverage, cos i dont have the space. does anyone have any tips or tricks that may help get it undone. i tried wd40 and carby cleaner on the fitting, but didnt really help. cheers adam

The best stuff for loosening those kinda things is this old school stuff called 'Penetrene'. If you can heat up the dump (but not the o2 sensor) with flame heat, it might be enough to release it.. I'm not expert in these matters though

the dump pipe is heat wrapped, so heating it up independently may be a bit hard, and ive tried it hot and cold.

as for removing the front pipe, that was all i could think of doing too, but i know that could turn into a bastard of a job, considering how long it took me to install the f**ker. cheers lads

you could always buy a proper o2 sensor revmoving tool and then it will come out rather easily

where can i pick one up? thats the socket that has a split partially up one side?

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
