hey guys i got some plugs and changed my spark plugs yesterday , I was told by mechanic to run BKR7E and regap them at around 0.6mm gap . Now it idles great and doesnt hunt , drives real smooth but when i get it a hit it sounds terrible like a spark breakdown sound around 6,0000 and above . Im running fully built engine with Splitfires and i have never had this issue but then again i have never run that gap or plug before , (always BCPR7ES @ 0.8MM) also now im noticing my 555cc injectors reach 100% without really any load/boost ?

what have i done to my car ? can anyone help me

are you running 555cc and Z32 with an untuned PowerFC?

I'm assuming this from your latest thread about idle problems.

If so, it's makes perfect sense why your injectors are smashing 100% and your car is misfiring.

if the injectors are randomly hitting 100% under light load then check your afm wiring. i had a similar problem with the same setup, a dodgy afm wire was randomly earthing out and sending the pfc 5.1v when just cruising along

Yeh it could have that I'll look into it ? Do I just Check all wires are ok and not touching or do I have to pull apart and re solder ? Btw my car is makin 288rwkw and never maxed out past 75% until now . Fixed issue with plugs .. But still 100% duty with no splitterin . Can a slipping clutch cause faulty readings?

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
