yeah great pic looks bloody cold there,

how come yours revs to 8000rpm?

Mine also revs to 8000; I think Mat and I have the exact same head setup. Performance valve springs and retainers plus poncams, my tuner thought it was safe to rev that high.

Rev limit gets set in the Haltech (Or link in Martins case) and apparently with the springs and retainers etc 8000rpm is where the party is!

Edit - And nope that was a pretty warm day!

You have a better setup that me as your head has been off ;)

Gave the headlights a quick wipe with PLAST-X today, cant wait to get home and finish it as they look so different even with a quick wipe! Very impressed!

A quick snap from this morning while i was checking a few things, i cant wait to get the bay all cleaned up and take some decent shots.... I will head down to the bolt shop and find new stainless bolts for the timing case cover etc just to make it look a bit cleaner, ill also give the runners etc a good clean up so it all looks nice and neat.

I would leave the rad as is, alloy enhances the black theme IMO.

I was thinking the same thing. It matches the comp cover, hose clamps and other little silver bits in the engine bay.

Starting to think the same, by the time i go out and get shiny bolts and clean everything up properly it should look OK!

Its still got coolant and shit everywhere from that radiator drama :glare:

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
