Wow, ok yeah. Anyway back on topic.

Sorry for no updates, have been busy with other things, seeing as this isn't going ahead until next year, it hasn't really been a priority.

So I'm thinking that Rond Terrace (where Capital Jam was this year and last) would be a good place for the show. Has parking for spectators, plenty of room for all the cars. At this stage, a dyno day probably isn't going to happen for a number of reasons, plus as stated, they are a bit boring.

Start of April seems to be when this is going to happen, but I won't be starting to organise anything until after summernats, this time of year is a bit busy and I don't have much spare time. But if anyone is keen to volunteer, let me know. I would be looking at getting a few people from each club that are interested and getting together for a brainstorm and to organise.

Just on the note for the Dyno. You could possibly have an open class from 8am-10am and from there on have 500kw+ for entry. Not only will this attract the big power horses of Canberra it will also weed out the dreamers with their 170kw R34 GTT in Red :P etc

Anyways, I'm glad to hear this is still going on and look forward to the first event. As everyone likes to say, we've all got something going on but I really hope someone will put up their hand who has the dedication and the 'drive'.

To be honest, this is the only forum/club that has registered interest in a dyno. Hence why I'm not really bothered with getting one. Plus that as well as cost, organising a workshop that is happy to get involved, insurance, food/beverages and possible entertainment. In my experience, no one is really interested in getting their big power horses out and about, if anything they are the opposite because of sus people scoping their cars out. If anyone is interested in a dyno run, go to ultimate tunes or the likes, chuck 'em a fiddy and get them to run your car up. Static displays at where its at, because they seem to work the best, why go and reinvent the wheel. I'm all for new and different things, it's getting other people exciting as well is the hard part.

This is still a go ahead, discussing a venue and a time at the moment. At this stage it looks to be going ahead early May. Possibly the first weekend as there isn't much on. It's far to busy between now and then to hold anything, with different nationals coming up as well as other shows happening around Canberra.

Anyone keen to volunteer for this? We need a few people to help with marshalling cars, setting up and general help throughout the day.


Send me a PM, and I'll give you some details from there. We will have another meeting in coming weeks so everyone knows what's going on.

Should still come out to spectate if your cars aren't ready or off the road.

I put my hand up to volunteer as there wasn't any interest. Depending on the time I need to get there will depend on if I can come to coffee before hand. I will let you know before hand though.

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
