Not really much happening of late on this. Got some dyno time last week where we ran into issues with the head lifting. So off comes the head to sus it out and go again.

Car went 520rwph at 22psi before the head lifted. Hopefully more updates this week

So finally brought the car home for a little while while i fit up some parts and enjoy the car for a bit, even if it is on low boost. Here's a vid of the cars first start up at home along with the exhaust tone at idle.

First job was to test fit the catch can and make sure it all fits. Had to move my oil filter relocator as that was taking up the space the new can is going. I was limited by the existing line length so after having a look over the setup i was able to mount it under the car behind the cooler piping.

First off i had to buy all the lines and fittings. Anyone who's done this knows unfortunately this shit aint cheap :(

Heres what its like with the front bar on. Nice and covered so it wont get hit with rocks etc. Might still make up a protection case to go around it yet

And test fitted the can in the bay too

Cars looking awesome man! Been following it for a while now and it just keeps getting better and better, i was just wondering where you got the plate thats holding your coilpacks in place/ how much it was

Thanks mate! Been a bloody long road but its all part of the fun.

Coil pack bracket is a custom job that i got a fabricator mate to knock up. Wasnt the cheapest but I think it looks awesome and give its a very neat professional look

Yeah man it definitely makes it look alot cleaner, ive seen a few other setups with Ls coilpacks where they were mounted on the fire wall and it makes it look messy, im looking at doing it the same way you have just to keep it all tidy.

Few different LS coil options out there. Most of the people who are mounting them on the firewall or off the rocker cover are probably using LS1 coils. Mine are LS2 truck coils, different design and make up and are a lot smaller and user friendly.

    • 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?????
