Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Spent 2 days on the o2 sensors.

$100 on specialty tools and a few skinned knuckles later, I have 1 o2 out FML.

Avoided engine out tho :P

Not engine out??? But I don't understand... :blink::P

Not great no, but it wasn't exactly economy driving either. I imagine quite a bit of fuel would be flowing when its developing 400hp.

Should probably put O2 sensors in to help that. Presumably there's only 1...?

wut? usually there are two 02 sensors on RB26

Strangely enough I only have one now that I could spot under my car

Found the second one on the top of my dumps, can't figure out what is going on with the plugs though. Got a pair of 3 wire ones, one flat plug one square.

Couldn't for the life of me find another 3 plug one like the top one. Dunno where i'd be supposed to plug the second sensor into then...

Nissan made it idiot proof, the plug on the front o2 is flat and the plug on the rear o2 sensor is square

Defeated my o2s finally. Another custom tool for the collection.

now im guna need a new 22mm spanner...

I live my life a 1/4 of a 1/4 of a turn at a time

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
