yeah the black is very nice, cant see the black around the tail lights, only gloss but its lovely, still tryin to figure out why i swapped the ceffy for it haha

Yeah think it might actually squash ants, the exh has been flattened from 3" to 2.5" through the mid section and my god when i took it for a ride it was like doing a down drive over large boulders, nearly threw me out the window, the shocks in the coilovers have bottomed out so there's no more suspension travel left, felt awsome drivin it though, but couldnt leave the carpark coz it does get beached on speed bumps hahahaha

Stock auto RB20DE A31 Cefiro on stock S13 shock and springs.

I've spent the last year bringing her back up to scratch... even got into a relatively minor accident that rendered her immobile for a short period.

Should install my staggered Stich Gulf 17's shortly which will be followed by upgrades such as fuel pump, brakes and coilovers (I'm still considering their priority) to support the engine that is to come. The plan is to install a R33 25DET which will go in when I collect enough funds, it will remain "stock" until I can afford management (hoping for a 2nd hand Power FC but my budget is extremely tight) and only then will I begin to add bolt ons.

Tell us what you think,

Cheers MackOo :(

Nice clean ride! Love those window visors...where can i get a set of those?

^^^ Probably Yahoo Japan Auctions, but at the exchange rate this low I wouldn't bother.

Couple of my 4dr with the 'auto-spoiler' fitted and painted in satin black. I think it's unique.

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
