Hope it's not ur turbos that blew making ur engine run like that...

On a side note, after my intercooler pipe blew off in the NATO park and left me stranded for hours, when the car was back home I took my front bar off, took off all the stock intercooler pipes and put a bead of black sikaflex inside, then clamped using new high quality worm drive clamps.

No way in hell will I ever pop a cooler hose now

Shit I hope its not my turbos either. I didnt think thats possible. Well put it this way. Tomorrow im going to check spark plugs. And when I replace them if the car is still running dead then Its going to the mechanic. Then we'll hopefully find out what the problem is.

SIR_RB You scared me yesterday when you said the dreaded "T" problem haha.

But I can safely say the car is running and running great actually. All 6 of my spark plugs were in horrible condition. Completely black. No wonder the poor thing didnt want to start.

But the car is running smoother than ever. I think its because I went from the ngk 7's that were in there with BCPR6's.

So lesson learned. If car decides to retard to rich map, replace spark plugs afterwards.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
