    1971 triumph tiger or trophy 650 - first of the oil in frame looks like a 1971 cos they had the higher seat was dropped 1972 and air boxes fit slightly different. 
     

    And beaten to the chocolate fish but am I right yeah ?

  2. Ah right it’s a ford in a ford ...  get another ford cover and tig it onto the drivers side - the asymmetry looks so odd in rwd yours is mostly hidden under intakes 

    Not even sure the pcv valve has to be mounted in the the cover direct - do some cars have them in-line in a hose ? Or mounted remote ?

  3. You have covers off a late model mazda KlG4 without the link pipe ? Use them or bung the ford ones up - surely you can move the PCV hole to another location on either cover where it’s out of the way as long as it’s on the right angle for the ball valve inside ?

  4. @Hurmeez  nice air box design 

    That pcv outlet on the front of drivers side valve cover that’s in your way - delete it - it only runs to a hose to the other valve cover - block that side too just leave the actual PCV. valve at rear of passenger side cover 

    the later engines did away with the link between covers they breathe fine without it have oil drain ports from covers to sump

  6. Mine is Fairmont way classier has the fake woodgrain dash and electric windows on all 4 doors and honeycomb grill not waterfall grill also has the rare and desirable clear coat peel camo paint job 

    I thought 1500 reg wof good tyres would be top dollar for these

  7. Link to thread mentioned -  ? 
    they are easy to work on - cheap and any issue has been worked around and a quick google will give the facts on how to fix it 

    And they are very fun to drive as a slow car fast around corners

  8. Also can’t believe we are onto the 2nd page of an Mx5 thread and no one has questioned your sexuality ... 

    mine is eunos also 1989 and nope only rust so far is light surface rust on the unpainted tube behind the dash

    From memory the later discs are bigger diameter,  the caliper is the same, just has a different bracket

    Yup 2 size upgrades from the stock 1.6 brake NB are larger and NB sport are another size up - calipers stay the same it’s all in the brackets and rotors

  10. 200 entire package + courier ? / negotiable 

    Long loom cost me over that 

    Have had ecu live and tracking crank trigger then got to no spark/ prob ignitor issues and gave up went coil on plug and link so no guarantee on whether the ecu is fully functional...

    Dell Laptop has the ems software and basemaps on it -not sure if there is a Holden 6 map on there  dead battery just plugged it in to my hp cord

    so I've found a cheap ems stinger on facebook which has nudged me in the direction of injecting the 202. I know tbi or single point injection is shit but its less shit than a carb. 
    Will be keeping a eye out for a EA falcoon TBI module.
    Any suggestions on alternative tbi units?

    The other option would be figure out how to mount 3 individual injectors on the runners without looking like shit

    Read my comments a few pages back re ems stinger 

    but if you buy one I have a whole stinger v4 a very short loom and a brand new long loom and new ford wasted spark 6 cyl coil pack + a Bosch 4 plug narrow/wideband that the stinger can read directly - yours for cheap if you go down that rabbit hole 

    also a laptop old enough to read the help files and a serial connection
