Well I've gone and bought a set of Enkei RP01s 15x6.5 which as far as I can tell (there isn't much information on the interwebs, too old I think) they should be lighter than the factory JellyBean wheels at 5.8kg each, which is still heavy compared to RPF1s but they are well out of my budget. We shal...

I was hoping to stick with a 15'' wheel simply because of the tyre choices available, if you go up to a 16'' you are a bit more limited in what is available, same if you go down to a 14''. Either is fine if you want normal tyres, but the range of performance tyres for 14''s and 16''s was pretty limi...

Hmm I'll have a think about it. I don't think my wife would let me spend that much on wheels sadly.

Hmm, those SSR Type Cs look really nice, I'll have to enquire about those.

@Ian, What would you be after for your RPF1s if by happenstance you were to sell them?

Thanks for all the tips, I'll probably try to get a wheel off today to see how heavy it is. I'd love some RPF1s but realistically at closer to $1300 for a set they are out of my price range. I have been considering RP01s or RP02s as they come up more often in 15'' and 4x100, but I am a little concer...

Hi All, I am looking for some more wheels for my car, its currently got some TSW (maybe TSR, can't tell) that are definitely 15'' but not sure on width, thinking they are 7'' rather than 6.5 as they fit a 205 tyre without too much sidewall bulge. I would like to stick with a 15'' wheel as its a good...

Finally got around to giving it a good wash and wax, some of the water marks were really getting to me, though wish I had the money to get it re-painted, love the colour, but stone chips! I'm quite happy with the result though, next is to take the headlights out and restore them, but that can wait f...

This was the sensor right down by the crank pulley which has notches on it which presumably signal TDC for each cylinder. Is that the one you meant? Hmm yeah, it was quite interesting when they showed me the signal waveforms, the waveform from the old sensor, when signalling was really jittery, only...

It wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be, most likely because they didn't end up replacing the ECU or the Coil Packs. The total came to around $900 including replacing a few belts that needed doing (delaminating) and the warrant which oddly enough was what it originally went in for!

Got the car back!

All seems fine, we will see how it goes over the next week or so.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help, MUCH appreciated.

Another update. I dropped by the garage this afternoon after work, and it seems that all of this was caused by a faulty crank sensor. It wasn't signalling cleaning when it was on, the signal was jittery. That is now replaced and it seems to be running fine, one final check tomorrow and a warrant and...

Right, well I went to see the garage yesterday after work. They finally agree with me that it is not the ECU, and more than likely not the coil packs. They have checked and cleaned all the grounds, and currently have the crank sensor out, as it was giving weird signals, they are going to swap it wit...

Thanks for the suggestions SLYDIT. I'll definitely have a work through those, the plugs have been replaced and were pretty shagged. I was wondering if it was the earth on the coil packs as they earth directly to the block, and as the problem seems to be heat/motion related (i.e. idles fine, and does...

Thanks for the suggestions. The plugs have been replaced, and were pretty shot anyway. They have scoped the ignition output and seen it doing weird stuff when it was playing up. However I disagree with their diagnosis that the circuit between the coils and the ECU is shot, I would expect if the coil...

Thanks for the suggestions. At this point, the garage have replace the ECU and reckon that the CAS and Crank sensor are fine, as the waveforms are coming up normal. I'm not convinced its a coil pack problem, as the symptoms seem nothing like those normally found with the NB1 coil pack faults. So far...

Yeah, it could be a lot of things, fingers crossed I will hear more from the garage today. Last I heard they were trying to source a replacement coil pack to rule that out. They have tested all the sensors apparently and everything looks normal even when it plays up, so not sure what is going on the...

Not at all. It had a full tank, filled up on Friday night. I've been driving at least a couple of times a week lately. Somewhat, it kind of only did it above 3k, but not reliably, and only when you really gave it herbs. I thought fuel pump, but it idles okay, and if the fuel pump was poked, I'd expe...

Hi All, I'm new here, and have only had my mx-5 for just over a month, and on Saturday, it started doing some really weird shiz. I took off from the lights and all of a sudden it just dropped 2k rpm out of nowhere, did more or less the same thing at the end of the road, and it did it again, but the ...
