Rob from RIPS NZ has also been a huge help along the way from good solid advice to supplying me with outside the box thinking on how to make the powerglide sit flat in the car and retain 4WD compared to the massively rotated ugly transmission setups available here in Australia.

Rips gearbox and engine mount kit.

Standard gearbox cross member complete with mount 4.6kg, RIPS only 1.8kg complete.

nice

also why did you chose air to air instead of W2A for a drag car, gonna go cruising?

i did consider it but would've made running events like power cruise somewhat difficult aswell as adding more complexity to the system. If i was looking for every last HP i could find and dropping a ton of weight i would've done it for sure.

Awesome, love the welch plug caps!

I'm glad it's you wearing the cost of all this, dammmmmm! I'd be looking for a new wife if I spent that much on mine!

So is this up to date now or are you trickle feeding the process and it's now all finished? It reads like at least some of it was past tense.

Either way, awesome to see such an investment in a car, love it!

Haha lucky for me no mrs to worry about atm.

All the fabrication, engine and wiring has just been completed so just need do final assembly now run all the speed flow then look to start tuning it. Hopefully within the next 2 months look to have it up and running fingers crossed.

3rd owner very original except for the drivetrain a few datsun fans very disappointed by choice of engines haha

Factory Honda S2000 engine with oem ecu just a set of extractors and filter makes for 200rwhp. Not worrying about a intercooler we decided why not run air-conditioning for cruising in summer haha

Ecu to engine harness. 6 injectors, TPS, engine water temp and crank and cam sync sensor wiring can all be dressed on the engine before installation then connected via a 34pin bulk head connector on the firewall after engine installation. :cheers:

    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
