Hi all, Nathan from NZ here and have been following the forums for years and thought i should finally poke my nose in.

A mechanic by trade and now working for myself. Have a 25t iv'e owned for 10 years or so and have now started to set it up for the track. Thanks to you lot i have found a fair bit of info on the forums that has been useful in the past so cheers.

Couple of pictures:

Doing the budget turbo and wastegate option. Chinese 35r with .63 rear and a 44mm wastegate mounted off the top of the turbine housing.

Haha, had an internal gated chinese special in there for 30 odd laps at Hampton Downs and the wastegate pivot crapped itself, took it back and he gave me another, another 30 laps and did it again. Gave me 35r and he sent all of his remaining stock of the internal style back to china.

I'm a tight ass and hate brand whores, i love modifying cheap shit and making it work but the internal was beyond me....

Greetings,very nice liner you have there.

The colour looks like it could be dno green metalic,

if so very rare colour,mine is that colour. :action-smiley-069:

Thanks. Yes, it is rather rare this colour, have seen a few sedans this colour but only 1 other 2 door. Colour matching was a mission as it's faded over the years.

Got a few minor dents etc now and will wrap it matt white to hide them and future proof it for the track...

    • 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
