As far as i can remember, one goes from battery-chassis-drivers side engine mount, g/box-body and i think rear of the plenum drivers side to body. Don't quote me on the last though

so erkle - you know nick from clubmotivate?

small world..

Yeah.

I met Nick and his mrs through my partner's parents. Her mother is best friends with Nick's missus.

My main memory is Nick cruising along walter road back towards eden hill. Dropped it a gear and planted it.

Each time he changed gears the wheels spun.

i nearly came from the over excitement.

Clean as.. did you end up fitting that frontpipe? (if i am remembering correct person :P)

Finally almost have mine done after replacing all under plenum pipes due to leak, new gaskets etc etc... Just want to drive the damn thing now! Absolute bitch of a job too, on par with swapping turbos. In fact i'd rather of done the turbos again.

*shakes head in disapproving manner*

Kids these days!

J/K, what ever floats your boat! But if you want it to perform well at drifting you will have to either lift it (i know, i know how dare i suggest that) or more all your suspension pick up points ($$$$).

Does look good though :thumbsup:

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
