OK, my 32R has been at the panel shop for 3 weeks.

They are very slow - it is only minor work.

It has moved all of maybe 80m in the 3 weeks, and started fine this morning, but was running rough (apparently).

It would not start tonight, and hence is still at the panel shop.

Only mod is turbo back exhaust. Plugs replaced and gapped at .8mm about 2 months ago. It cranks, but will not fire.

Is it the plugs, or coils? Anything else?

We are trying a new set of plugs tomorrow... could the car only moving around a shop for 3 weeks foul the plugs?!

Thanks in advance :P

edit - it is getting fuel, as we can hear the pump and smell unburnt fuel being spat out... and it has sat at a mechanic for two weeks prior to going to the panel shop

If youve got fuel than its definetly a spark problem, check your plugs even though they are new because if its been flooded and the workshop dudes kept cranking it then theyll be fouled, if that doesnt work test your coils, I had this problem a few weeks ago, too much fuel going in with the cold start fuel map...Good luck.

I know this is gonna sound silly, but check you filter and intake pipes for rags.  At my shop we like to stuff rags in the while working to keep the intake clear of dust.

Thanks Jon sometimes the most obvious answer is the one! Only thing is the car was started in the morning :D

      This isn't for lotsa powers, and time and effort isn't even a thing I'm concerned about The whole reason is "Just because fun", and "Just because fun" is what I do And whilst there are other kits, with better and more modern turbos (Rev9 use the same Kraken manifold I believe.....EDIT... nope, the Kraken is a cast jobbie, the REv9 uses welded up stainless, plus $8000 AUD before shipping, installation and tuning) Where else in Sydney can I do a drive in drive out with the after sales support that MX5 Mania give My Turbo 86 made around 200kwatw on a AVO turbo kit that Pulse fitted, and it was over 100kg heavier than the MX5, but it was a blast to drive around the streets, until I crashed it.....DOOH, so somewhere around 200 ish level and some whooshy noises and I'll be happy driving to work, the shops, or heading into the country with Jackie for Devonshire tea So, thanks Dose for your info, it sounds like a 0.64 will be fine for what I'm after👍 The only real racing I do nowadays is to the toilet

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
