Well I've promised myself i wouldn't buy any more car parts until i sell some , im confused with what wheels i should put on it though , i have gold sparco rims off the 33 or the p1 i was going to put on blue 32 or , im tempted to put the sp1's on it , i have way too much shit for one person ...

finaly got my self a brand new t04 turbo, external waste gate, rising rate fuel pressure reg and 48 side draft weber(draw threw setup), in the prosess of getting the manifold cleaned and nickle plated, then water and methonal injection :)

just waiting on a few small bits and pieces to take her off the road again and get some boost happening :D

hoping for about 300HP ish.

enough to have some fun with....

800hp Turbo for 300hp? :/

Can anyone recommend a good place to get side skirts fitted and painted and front bumper resprayed? Obviously no one wants to pay more than they have to but i'd rather pay more for something perfect as the product remains after the money is forgotten.

After a perfect paint match and don’t want any orange peel, prefer both items painted off the car as it is currently a perfect respray and don’t want it ruined with overspray :yucky:.

Cheeeeeeeeeeers in advance

I'm looking to probably sell my R33 if anyone is in the market for one. Black, manual, rb25det, registered, no defects, coilovers, advan rims, all electrics etc. 11k ono.

Reason for sale is moving to another state soon and will probably just pick something up there.

Well , i finally got my track hack going after replacing the turbo , small issue , i took the old turbo off thinking there was a problem with it , i pulled it apart and found nothing wrong with it (apart from a small crack in the rear housing, and me breaking the rear wheel off while taking the rear housing off) , i put the new turbo on and it's still making the same sound! . Nfi where to look , all the gaskets are new etc :( so back to the drawing board... I think i may just have to register it and then change all the manifolds and piping (to after market etc)

Have you tired pressurizing your cooler piping etc?

Not yet , it sounds like the compressor is touching the housing , but it doesn't because i checked all of that out before i put it back together , it's quite audible from the air filter , which gives me a big ??? . Only gasket i haven't checked is the 3 bolt one that comes off the compressor , i can't see it being that though .

it's prolly that one, Toffy.

aaaah, the infamous Kennedy car. Never saw that video before - needs more engine/exhaust music ;)

I made that video last night :)

I have no doubt in my mind it is that or the housing itself , with my luck , it would be the hardest thing to change , or the simplest . Either way , it's a good excuse to use the ceff setup :D . So Mr Kennedy has got his car to the track finally , about time , plenty of $$$ there , i was waiting for him to have a go! Tell him next time you see him that i said he is soft! .

So i sold my teks last week, since then car has been on jackstands untill tomorrow when i pick up my new wheels.

I will post up a pic either tomorrow night or wednesday but untill then im not saying what they are.

I have a feeling i will be doing a fair bit of guard work / going wide guards though :)

should be with the money invested in it! Pumped to be a passenger in it at some stage though.

Would rather be the driver! Especially if the owner wants to drive lol *waves to Blake*

more pics of yours with the wheels on it?

    • 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
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • 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?????
