I purchased a item on eBay to customise a drag wing but didn't work out as I planned.

Damn eBay cwap... I haven't viewed it in person just yet as I'm out interstate working.

Looks like it's just the clear coming off.

I've got the head drain that's going back to sump, i had the oil catch can next to the fuse box but looks like we'll need to customise another one as the hypertune plenum extended more then we anticipated, also mite be running another catch can on the other side, all Lines are plumb back into sump.

Is the Hypertune intake plenum right??? It seems to poke waaaaaay too far away from the engine. The angles from the cooler look like they're going to be all out of whack.

Otherwise looks awesome!

What trigger setup are you using?

V2 hypertune plenum is all bolted on, it did take me by surprise how far it was located.

But we'll cut a hole in the panel, pic below... Piping will be all good just some panel work.

Trigger system is up in the air, we may go custom like in ibomu gtr or modify my standard item

For the $$ a Hypertune costs I'd be wanting it to be a straight bolt on affair and some sort of sexual favours to boot!

Take a look at the Hi Octane trigger setup, I just got one and looks good. Crank pickup works off a small trigger disc that mounts to the back of the timing belt gear. it's quite neat-

Damn nice build!

Thanks for the info on the Hypertune. IT IS A MONSTER. Mine ships out tomorrow!

Didn't expect it to protrude THAT far over! Yet another thing to add to the relocate/fabricate list.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
