Toyo T1Rs, I have them on my turbo and they are awesome! Since putting them on I have so much more confidence when driving in all conditions.

Higher engine capacity - stroker kit - at the moment I am running a safe-ish 220 when everything is going sweet but with power goals north of 400BHP I think it is the easiesy way to achieve this. No need to stroke the 1800 BP engine to achieve 400HP more so if your aiming for 800HP...as for the GTX...

im subscribed! i'm also planning to turb up my mx5. and currently looking for a familia engine to swap it with. i've got an auto one at the moment so deciding whether to convert it to manual for now or swap the whole thing for turb engine. whats the point in changing to a familia engine? the stock ...

I too am looking at dropping a GTX engine into mine which is currently a turbd 1.6. As there aren't that many around Wellington I would be more than happy to show you my work in progress and help with some advise to help you avoid slowing the build down!

Ended up getting one for $20 and have taken apart the faulty one and was definately just a corroded solder.

Cheers

From Mazda? I think it's part HE01-66-830 that you're after, although the US price looks to be ~USD$90. If you're sure your problem is the flasher unit, this could be interesting http://www.miata.net/garage/turnsig.html Yep definately the flasher unit as I swapped this one out of my old MX that had...

Hi guys, Just wondering if you anyone knows where the best place to source a flasher module close to home is? Or if anyone out there with a racecar no longer needs theirs I would be happy to make a deal. Always best to source closer to home and I would rather not have to order from overseas! Cheers ...

"ONDASS" is tempting but then again 899$ is enough for many a mod.... Hmmmmm

I'm in Palmy, but would be happy to come to a meet in Wellington. Gonna be tough this week and next, but I'm free on weekends after that! Cheers, -Matt I was actually planning to head up Palmy ways over the next few weeks as never really driven up those ways.. You guys have many nice roads up there?

Awesome 8) Keep an eye out for me, BRG NA - GRU671 :evil: Just as well your plate is not GRU822 or i might call the patent attorney. :wink: Don't worry I have no intentions of steeling your identity... Trying to think up of my own personalised plate(Back home you cannot choose so it will be a bit o...

Mine has a rather subtle exhaust but when you start to hear the turbo spooling up then you know it's me. MazdaSpeed style front lip too. I also have a well co-ordinated black boot!

Awesome

I'd happily volunteer myself to organise some meets/events once we get a few cars. Unless of course someone else really wanted to but no problem for me(Good way to pass some time when I should be working!)

Keep an eye out for me, BRG NA - GRU671

Awesome - I see quite a few around and the odd time get approached but most of ones I see look tired and old which is a shame! Will be good have another clean example floating around 8) Outside of my car isn't exactly clean (cleaner than Furai's though) :p Inside definitely is though but I guess I'...

She's now running! Turned out that my gbox was ok so I now have a spare to rebuild with stronger internals(If I ever find them!)! After everything I ended up replacing the ps axle as there was a bit of play on the inside joint connecting to the dif flange. Still have a little bit off a vibration com...

I always feel a bit jealous when I see all these meets up North!!

Are there many Wellington based owners on here? If so would there be any interest in having a meet sometime before the weather forces me to buy a hardtop!

Just a thought.

Hi guys, Apologies for not getting back over the weekend - my laptop died and my phone wouldn't let me upload any images. So I took the engine mount off and have found the rubber to have completely seperated in two pretty much on the seem where the bushing attaches to the metal. I am waiting for ano...

When I tore the engine mounts it wouldn't like changing gear above 2500 although there were other issues with my car that also lead to this as well. I think you can just use a pry bar to check the mounts while it's on the ground? When you tore your mounts was if caused by launching? Cheers - someti...

Cheers man, at the moment she will be a street car with the odd track session so they sound about right and bloody good price too I reckon :D Edited for driveshaft! Awesome at least that is my worry about the driveshaft being wrecked as I know the ujoints are solid was just worried about that play!....

bad engine mount will show by harder than normal gear changes and obvious clunking under heavy load. it is very very common for the left one to fail and the heat from your turbo and downpipe just makes it worse. you may not be able to get at it with the turbo in the way. you may have to try and jac...

Also if anyone knows of any mechanics in Wellington(Lower Hutt) region that would be willing to take a look? The car is up on axle stands at the moment so prefarably would like to sort it out at home as the car is pretty undrivable... I would happily supply a box of beer and any poison anyone needs ...

sounds like the hard launch has torn your left hand engine mount. you can get better mounts from 949 racing in the states Damn I hadn't even thought of engine mount, I will check it out once I get home from work! What would the best way to check engine mount? Pry with a large flathead? Cheers Also ...
