Thanks for all the well wishes, both Lauren and I are very excited to have a little boy, we had him watching the MotoGP today, and with luck he'll get bitten by the motorsport bug too :P I'm sure you'll get to see him at one of the future SAUWA events :P

I'll post some pics up when I remember to bring the camera back from the hospital :D

Guys well done!

Paul, I hate to say it but, the car gene can skip generations. My son I taught to change the oil, do the timing and spark plugs when he was 7. He's not really interested in cars at 12.

Solution = have more kids -> now's not the time to consider that one tho' :D

Thanks for the advice Dave, but I've convinced Lauren that if he doesn't like cars that we'll put him up for adoption :rofl:

Just cos he might be 12 and not in to car don't mean he will be when he gets his license.. I wasn't into cars untill i got mine ;)

Just because he not into cars now dosnt mean he will still not be when he gets his license.. i wasnt in to cars untill i got mine ;)

Im pretty sure i saw this guy driving your car Paul. Except he had a devilish look on his face and i swear i saw a tail. Was traveling at a fair rate of knots... Hmmm on second thoughts im pretty sure it was you :P

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
