Cheers man!yea I've seen the episodes, that pretty much exactly how I'm planing to do the turbo install. I'm planing on running around 8-10psi should be good and alot more fun to drive  

im soon going to start doing track/drift days and want to get a rollbar for rollover Protection/reassurance. 

Any help appreciated

Thanks for the help man!I'm still not 100% sure on what I'm going to do enginewise.

Off a mitsi gsr? Td04L. Dont know much about turbos

Cheers man! I'm sure il need advise at some point in the build! this turbos just one I got for free. Thinking I want to run something abit smaller like a T25 off a sr. I'm just saving for a megasquirt then it's all on!

Way ahead of ya TD04

Cheers bro! Haha that's funny! Yea i love it! Get giving alot of shit you know, "hairdresser jokes" it's pretty funny after I take them for a drive they all want one.

So after realizing the 15x9's wouldnt work with the tyre i could legally run for a cert/wof i sold them and shipped them off to chch. few days later these beauties arrived at my door

So this is how my car sits to this day

XXR257 15x8.25's for the extra ''Hellaflushness'' according to the manufacturer haha

Aint no dish here! was wanting somthing a little different from the traditional dish people normaly put on mx5's

Still a little high for my liking

Bought these OZ racing coilovers, bc golds were out of stock and i couldnt wait haha

Threw it all together and this was the result 

Rubbed a little... lol

Wasup dudes! So i sold my Mk2 escort and was looking for somthing abit more sideways capable, was mostly looking a non turbo fl s14's as they were in my budget, Then i stumbled across this Beaut Id always wanted a mx5/miata since i had first got my license! It was alot cheaper then a silvia so i had alot more money left over to spend on it Drove to auckland with a mate to check it out, ended up driving it home haha Leave a comment on what you guys think! and any ideas on options to get some more lock

Would never be seen driving this thing around standard! so next day work started

Parts Starting to pile up in the corner 15x9 xxr002 with 195/50's

Abit has happened since my last post. My mate didnt end up wanting to sell his rims. So i ended up ordering a set of 175/50r13s from some place down the line because no one in whangarei seemed to have them, or could get them. Shes pretty much done now, went for a wof on friday with my old tyres because my new ones hadnt arrived,only failed for one tire being low on tread which i was expecting so quick drive out to hulses to chuck his spare set of turbos on. slapped the sticker on then straight to get a rego haha.. Only have shitty cell phone pics.

New tyres!

shot to the brother MACKAZ for putting the tyres on and giving her a alignment!

cheers dude!

these are numbers on the right handside 70HM6015AA. T5 1.6

buying some new rims of my mates hillman next week. 13x7 0offset steelies. look exactly the same as modgies just not chromed. with 175/50r13 tyres.

Once i get them il finally be able to lower as the massive tyres i have on atm would rub too much! want to go just over 3" all round. should be like this but tiny bit lower. this has same size rims and tyres so is a good indication.

it was clearly stated in my trademe auction that i was working on the car and the price would change accordingly to the work. i have withdraws it since then.

Havent really had a proper post in pretty much a year haha cars still unpainted pic of as is to this day

Getting new rims and tyres in a week or two some hopefully should give me some motivation to finish it haha

currently running a standard radiator in my mk2 1600 and was wondering if there are any alloy radiators out there with similar hose points that would fit my escort. i was thinking since ive been spending the money on the engine. i should really upgrade the cooling. i know there are alloy radiators out there for a xflow but they seem to be abit expencive compared to a jappa one.

Any help would be appreciated
