Hey guys - Sunday was awesome.

Many thanks to everyone involved: especially chris, paul and stace. Great to meet all new faces too. Ill have to get you to send me you pics/vids (Ian & Chris). Ill PM my address.

Funny how Ian was talking about living out in Singo and a few of the cops out here being harsh. Well 3 hours later when i was riving back to singo i got randomly pulled up by a highway patrol and defected for 5 differnt things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bov (releasing to atmosphere), pod (noise level), adjustable boost controller, exhaust (noise level) and tyres.

Then he had the hide to tell me my apexi rsm was an apexi fc!!! And didnt wanna believe that it wasnt a programmable ecu device.

NOT HAPPY ~~~ had the car back for 6 days and now its off-road again lol. Oh well.....

Any suggestions on easy cheap fixes i can use to obtain my blue slip quickly? Ive talked to Linton and he's given me some tips so far.

-Dave.

Man that sucks Dave....

I've got a stock airbox you can borrow to replace the pod with. And as with most Jap cars, you've prob still got the stock BOV there too.

Exhaust noise can be fixed with a butt plug, but they can be pricey, so you may have to beg someone to borrow one.

Ummm tyres..... I can get some with around 40% tread on em pretty cheap. Either that or just buy re-treads then sell em after to someone who wants to destroy em.

ive got new rubber on my Nismo LM-GT4 rims.....but with gold rims and that blue paint......i may not get them back....lol

that sucks dave...

i know when and if pulse performance is still around....it cost my mate $150 to get his car blue slipped to lift the defect....otherwise i'm sending a pm on someone else who could help.

where could i go to get my mods engineered? any idea on prices?

Yeah thanks for a heads up to linton and chris regarding this defect topic.

I might need to borrow that stuff off you too Ian. The pod and bov, that is.

Gold rim? :) Sounds nice :)

But i needed new tyres at anyrate so im happy to fork that money out there.

And im right when assuming that i get this blue slip for the car, but then if i get pulled over again that the blue slip WONT cover it and the tests will need redoing. The only way in future to avoid this is to obtain engineering certificates yeah?

-Dave.

Technically speaking every piece of non standard equipment fitted to a vehicle is illegal.

Yeah virtually anything that isnt stock you can be booked for unless it is fully engineered. For instance if u change your gear knob over and it doesnt have the "H" displaying the gears, then thats a defect. Having bigger wheels than the stockies without having them engineered is also illegal. so u can see how this applies to almost anything. it sucks but thats why we all love the RTA so much :D

Yeah I often thought of joining the police force. Years ago.

And you could almost guarantee I'd be out there pulling those bastards over just to even up the scores :D

Dave,

Let me know when you have time and I can come round and we can go about installing the box and bov. Wont take long.

Can fix your front bar too.

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
