Cheers Hab So could this device be beneficial or a waste of time do you think? wot It depends on the intake manifold pressure you are running. If over 12-13psi I would use something.

If the 323 was turboed it probably is a bypass/diverter valve.

If not, it may be an exhaust gas recirculation type valve.

You do not need to buy both the injector and ignition looms! the unit comes with plenty of wires in the ignition loom that arent used by the mx5.so just buy that. you just need to steal a few wires from the ignition plug and put them into the "main" plug to get it all working. you need a SMALL 2mm ...

More castor effectively means a greater increase of negative camber as the wheels are turned - giving you the advantage of the extra camber in the corners when you need it, without compromising the contact patch (affects braking, tyre wear etc) in a straight line. It also results in greater stabili...

Use a soft foaming car wash that is high in lubricant, then Meguiars PLASTIX to clean the vinyl rear window or glass cleaner if you have a glass window on the soft top.
