There was a thread about this on the SDU forums, Reece has "apparently" put a tube front end on his T51R powered GTR, and that run was done shutting down because his bonnet flew off.

Croydon's have sold there car to someone in the U.S. too, "apparently".

Welcome to 2 months ago.

It's all hearsay. Nothing official. It all happened at an unofficial test 'n tune, with too many stupid variables like bonnets flying up mid-run and the rest.

And the car was the Heat Treatments GTR.

i know this is a stupid question but can someone please explain what a tube front end is ??? i am being serious here
They cut the front of the chassis off and replace it with a tube frame... said car ceases to be a "factory" car.

      Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.

      So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      Aside from the fact it is likely fuel related if it is black, the symptoms otherwise sound like worn valve stem seals. Oil gets past the worn seals when the engine is off and burns when the engine starts. If it happens on deceleration while driving (puffs of white smoke) that is another valve stem seal symptom because oil gets sucked form the head into the combustion chamber under vacuum with the throttle closed. They can be replaced in the car if you have some way to keep the valves closed while working (eg compressed air into cylinders) but is much easier with head off.

      Alright, fair enough. Expected as much. Possibly, yes. However the kit is apparently not including every single hose and it is out of stock too.
