Today I made a major investment.

I bought a spigot bushing for a massive $8 :)

Part no. is 32202-7f401

For those not familiar with the term, the spigot bushing is a bronze sleeve bearing in the tail end of the crankshaft which carries the nose of the gearbox input shaft to provide proper alignment of the clutch disk.

Soak it in oil for a day or two before you install it. The oil penetrate the tiny holes in the bushing.

The old one is removed with a rod just a tad smaller than the inner diameter of the bushing and some ordinary grease. Fill up the hole with grease, put the rod inside the opening and tap it with a hammer a few times. The rod will press against the grease and the grease will force the bushing out. May take some harder taps if the bushing is a bit grumpy.

Lots of pins to crimp on the cables for the DTA-ECU. Only remain some heat-shrink tubing and they are all done. The photos show the sensor cables. The Power cables I finished earlier.

Have searched for a long time to find combined blinker and position lights to match the new front bumper and now I have them :rofl:

From Creatix I got a very nice oil cooler for the power steering. Perfect for demanding driving on track and drifting.

Thanks to Zef Engineering and their splendid new deal with Driftworks, the car got a massive dose of safety and an awsome upgrade with new CS2 coilovers.

A major thanks to Zef Engineering and especially to you Thomas who made this possible! :P

Coilovers installed. The front ride height is adjusted with tyre/fender in line. It will stay at this height untill the the coils have settled whereafter I will adjust them to a lovely deep level.

At the rear, the rims are in level with the fender edge.

    • Good to see your rotors appear as rusty as mine šŸ¤Ŗ
    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, Iā€™m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, Iā€™ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmationĀ  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4 Ā  idle video from that day just becauseĀ 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!) Ā  Ā  I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding). Ā  I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springsĀ  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
