Mine is a stock 1.6. With the stock timing, I got no benefit from going right up to 7500, but with the timing advanced 4, I get decent power all the way through, with only a small drop off around 7200. Could it be the water pump cavitating at high revs? I know the SR series Nissan motors have that i...

Regards the heating, I have the same issue in my car, if i shift at 7000, the water temp is fine, if I push out that extra 500, it creeps up.
Cant wait to get out to Hampton for a track day, all I've done so far is Pukekohe

Right, let's postpone until next week.

Why not today, and next week as well?

Well, was meant to be tonight, but the weather doesn't seem to be kind. So how about we make it for next Friday night?

Right, details are in the top post now.

Sup Gangsters. As suggested by Thebears, who is keen on a friday night cruise/fang, ending up at a pub somewhere? Meet out West, perhaps the carpark across the road from MOTAT at 8PM. Head out to the awesome roads on the Waitakere ranges, a fang through Scenic Drive, then head along the Riverhead-Co...

Anyone up for an evening cruse from Auckland? Blat out, head to a pub and talk the crap out of MX5's :lol: Always keen on a blat in the Mazdarati. Especially if it ends at a pub! Have a funny story regards oil pressure gauges. Friend had a C35 Laurel with an RB30DET in it. Turbo the size of your fa...

We want pics!
A good stereo is essential to the enjoyment of any car IMO, sounds like you have a damn good setup.

Hookers and cocaine! But seriously, even though you say you arent interested in a brake upgrade, it is well worth the money. New shocks would go a long way as well. A decent stereo setup (including headrest speakers) is a must have, and as sprsta said, new suspension bushes. Should be able to do tha...

Correct. The 1800 flywheel and clutch have a larger diameter, so more friction surface, better grip. Don't go messing around with taking weight out of the standard flywheel, spend the money on a proper chromoly one, that way you don't run the risk of it flying to pieces at 7,000rpm and really ruinin...

I would be up for a drive out West this evening.

1. Don't know 2. Yes, replace the cat with a Coby or similar. Replacing with a bit of pipe can make the exhaust have a horrid cackle in it, especially on overrun 3. What part of Auckland are you in? I know plenty of good exhaust shops in Rodney, but other than that, I have had two exhausts done by P...

Just want to gauge interest in a group buy on the above pads. They are a grade above Bendix Ultimates. Normally retail at $560 a set. I can probably get them closer to $300 if enough are interested. Need a minimum of 3 confirmed before I can order them from Australia. Only available in DB1282 shape,...

What about Aluminium wheels? My Minilites are a bit rough, would sandblasting / dipping be an option for them?

Another option is the Foamectomy. I will be doing this sometime in the near future, to see what it is really like. Basically, it involves hacking a bunch of foam out of the back and bottom of the seats. According to the Yanks (who cannot be trusted) it doesn't negatively affect comfort, but helps a ...

I LOVE my RE001s. If I could marry them, I would. Low noise, stupendous amounts of grip wet and dry and reasonably priced.

I'm out sorry Keiran. Really cant justify that kind of money on something that is just for looks.

Unfortunately, Bendix don't make Ultimates in the 1600 shape, only 1800. However, they do make the Heavy Duty, which I am led to believe is good. From personal experience, I can recommend Ferodo Excel for street and occasional track use. Also, don't forget decent fluid! You can have the flashest pad...

hot.....I like!

Well, I had a blast. Couldnt quite get down to 1.20, but best time was 1.21.5, so I am very pleased about that.

That's a pretty piss poor excuse from the shop, but hey, what can you do?
I will still be keen on one though.

WANT! Put me down for one

Seconded. Spend a little extra and get a manual, will be well worth it, I have heard that automatic MX5s are rubbish. Main thing to check when buying an MX5 would be the condition of the roof. Other than that, ask for a service history, and check if the cambelt has been done. They are pretty simple ...
