Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

My car got reversed into the front of last night. :):O:domokun: The front bar has a crack in it from the headlight down to the bottom of the numberplate mount roughly. Fair bit of paint scratched off the bar as well. Going to need a new front bar so the bodyworks place told me. Bonnet is also a little bit bent in. :banana:

The bar is a fibreglass bar fortunately so that is being repaired as i type. Should get it back next week and then off to the bodyworks for the front bar to be resprayed and then getting the bonnet and the driverside door resprayed as they are both a little bit patchy. Wasn't planning on doing them until later in the year but might as well get them done while its there.

New rims on the way and just ordered an east bear front bar. Won't get the bar till the end of August though.

Well its been a slow process getting my snotter on the road again.

This weather is the main killer at the moment as i dont have a shed/garage the car is just in the drive which means on days like today i cant get anything done :)

Basically to get the car running:

starter motor bolted back on

couple of heater hoses attatched

FMIC piping bolted up with a few adjustments

run all new vacuum lines (and figure out the mess from the old EBC) along with the electrics for the EBC

redo fuel lines (have to disconnect the additional 2 lines) and also the 2 extra injectors.

put ignition barrel back in and fix wiring where it was damaged

have new 1/4 glass put in

put rotors back on (getting machined today) along with freshly painted calipers and bleed brakes

sort out rest of the engine bay wiring which looks like a scattered birds nest...

and then there are a few other little things that needs to be done before i can pit pass it :O

Atleast my new parts lists looks good if Australia Post stop loosing my freaking gear :)

Little strange about the earthing problems cobber...

What turbo did you end up going with???

Why not just buy Z32 from CRD and injectors from Aaron as they are the cheapest???

The turbo well it's that Rx7 Hybrid.

Once i get it i'll measure the A/R and see what's what.

Yeah the earthign is very bizzar, maybe that is what my problems are. Looks like a job for an auto sparky.

Well with the injectors i was hoping to get some 440cc ones from my contact in the US about $390 Au for a set of 6 delivered and yeah slide for the Z32.

BUT have to move house first.

yeah in the us the 240SX came with them.

Ah ic...

UPDATES: rotors machined but will be the last time before i have to replace them :)

Replaced broken brake line fittings so hopefully that stops the leaks and increases pedal feel again...

Pulled my BRIDE out and fixed the runners so it can slide again and after sitting in it again im thinking of selling it as its too narrow in the base ;)

      Alpha omega racing bracket

      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

      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?????
