The reality is it isn't a good daily driver for everyone. You wouldnt like it Pete, I probably wouldn't like it.

There's a fair wait for the power, but when it comes it would certainly be fun.

Can't wait to see some quarter mile times. That's when the car will shine.

Thats cool, and this car sounds like it will be magic and the time it took to build is amazing from my limited experience :)

I would like to ask, what you think its 1/4 time could be, like Nitto or MGAWOT 11, they would be hard to match and build it in a month ?

How do you learn if you do not ask questions :)

HOMEWRECKER where are you , the holidays are over ??

The reality is, the OP built the car for himself, the way he wanted it, and this is his build thread. Of course it's going to have some element of lag, as if you'd get 1000hp by 4000rpm. But either way, who cares? No point carrying on about it.

Exactly, over 2 pages of rubbish posts.

I've had DD laggy cars, you just work around it.

This turbo mite have good transient response so it may not feel as laggy.

also it mite be good on fuel due to not hitting boost so often.

At last , someone has given me an idea how it could drive on the road and what makes it all work in together, no need for insults because someone asked a question to learn something , I think the extra 0.2 Lt has to help as well, thanks 29

I have seen Videos of street cars driven to the track, kick arse and then driven home as the others are being loaded on a flat top. Laggy , I would not have a clue or give a fark, just enjoyed the Vids.

This one, maybe a sub 10 secs DD as our 34s are pretty heavy dressed and looking great doing it.

Vids please Homewrecker :yes: I am sure you have not taken offense at being asked questions about your build, love it :worship:

don't know why people say it wouldn't make a good daily.

You could drive it to and from work and never hit boost, N/A 34 anyone? :rofl2:

But seriously you would just drive it not on boost most of the time.

It's a fair effort to make 1000hp at all four :thumbsup:

If you don't me asking, what option OS88 have you got and with what diff ratios

I have a option 2 on the way which i'm going to run with the stock diffs

I'm in the same boat, option 2 with the stronger input shaft

don't know why people say it wouldn't make a good daily.

Would be nicer to drive than something coming on boost at 3 grand that's for sure. But I love lag so this comment doesn't count. :D

    • 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.
