Don't forget the filament inside the AFM.

You'll need to remove it from the intake and physically spray the heating filament/element of the AFM until its clean of all oil/dirt/dust.

Cleaning this will be more important than just the contacts on the plug.

Should your AFM have no mesh on the ends (unlikely), try not to physically touch the filament bit.

I gots a strange feeling your economy will jump 100ks or more with just AFM cleaning and new O2 :)

So I'll have to clean that with the contact cleaner as well? I know its got mesh at one end, not sure about the other.

I will be very happy if it does haha

Yeah...electrical contact cleaner on the filament/element as well.

Do not use carby cleaner. While this works good, it leaves a residue*** and you will be back to square one LOL

***subject to debate. some say it does, some say its all good but why risk it when for $13 a can at repco this week, you can get electrical contact cleaner :P

May I also suggest new spark plugs...your current ones should all be sooty from the over fueling. Best to do all in one hit so wait for your O2 to arrive.

Lastly, wet weather = car stays safely in the garage ;)

Went to work myself.

The show's over-rated and very expensive nowadays to get in...unless you love dagwood dogs and $10 cans of coke.

True, I haven't been to the show since I was in grade 3/4 and no real desire to. Work public holiday and get a free day off in July for the Nissan time attack day at QR= WINNING

  • 2 weeks later...

Details for Sunday please :)

Not sure as of yet but would like to know anyways.

Wife says as long as we don't get up to anything stupid, I should be OK to go if nothing comes up..... :unsure:

    • 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?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
