  1. Lots of people have spent money and parts trying to fix gearbox deacceleration noise after removing gearbox - alignment is critical - whole thing is so tied together that the engine mounts and diff bushes all come into the picture - front end of the PPF has slots so there is a bit of play for adjustment as for the floor stiffeners they are all smashed in even on std height cars - can get local made stainless steel protective cover that stiffen up the whole car a bit you found a soft top local ? All good
  2. And yes diff bushes - think I got whole set minus steering rack bushes for $250 from USA
  3. Nice - cheap roadsters to thrash is what they are made for Gearbox and PPF alignment is something to check out before and after dropping the box to do the clutch - put a straight edge across the “chassis rails “ nope they are beaten in floor stiffening ribs ... and measure up to the gearbox to front of PPF bolts - see where it’s at now and refer to factory spec for this - bolts in the diff can be a pain they thread into sleeves - any of this stuff the ocd meearta owners on miata.net have good step by step stuff guides -also lots of cool builds and knowledge on grassroots Motorsport forum
  4. No I thought I would just build another project starting with that
  5. Would like to give a big UP for 14Point7 customer service Ordered one direct from them USA/canadia it bounced around the states for a month then tracking stopped for another few weeks after leaving Newark international distribution centre on usps Waited patiently then sent them. Nice email saying it appears to have got lost any ideas I know beyond their control in these crazy times Email from them 2 days later with new tracking number on UPS First one arrived 3 days later .... sent another email saying ok cool what should we do about the second shipment - arrived today 2 weeks and one week of that was in Auckland just found an email in my spam folder that said oh second one don’t worry about it = bonus
  6. Cheap option may be sell house - find a used deck that fits chassis - build a tiny tiny temporary shack on deck to stay on mobile Home reg til you build another mansion - profit
  7. Truck with no house is commercial and needs transport service licence and more $ That’s why so many horsey trucks have bed table and cooker to meet mobile home reg don’t think you can cof as cab/ chassis even with mudguards and taillights as the deck and tie down points is all part of the inspection mate here has one as builders truck and house comes off on screw jacks (big acme threads) with air ratchet for speed - lowers house porch to ground level when parked - has always been on tsl and the deck under the house is certified and rated tiedowns - house is a load maybe farm reg loophole for roaming around ? Will still need a deck and cof rucs are same regardless of class reg is cheaper not much it’s the tsl cost and logbook bullshit
  8. Bought a new Link Atom G4X ecu and loom and been studying up on link forum and HPa academy Bought decent crimpers and new terminals and connectors found a Toyota coil on plug that fits the engine ( Yaris coils are too fat) and made some mounts to hold them down and wired ignition loom
  9. If I have to take the gearbox off again I will do a trace of adaptor -but if I was doing this again I would follow the path Hurmeez on here went and go six Spd rx8 Aisin gearbox and flywheel adapter onto rx flywheel and clutch - just looks so much easier and cleaner and then runs stock parts for clutch and starter
  10. Buy a spare set of wheels and discs and sprocket to make knobblie to road tyre swaps so fast and easy
  11. 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 ?
  12. 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 ?
  13. Odd I can see the pics fine last night and today - on 4g
  14. @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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. How much is speeduino pnp ? Cos 1100 for a megasquirt makes link look cheap at not much more
  18. 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
  19. Bolt in roll bar or welded ? how cheap was cheap ?
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. Yeah that was easy 14Point7 ordered direct - 245$ nzd including shipping be interesting to see how long it takes to get here
  23. Yeah about 330 current best price for aem x 245 for spartan shipped direct no gauge seems like best option
  24. Got refunded already - how much for your innovate that you don’t like ?
  25. Oh crap I should not have looked at that trademe listing Classic piece of nz history already painted black and looks fast while going nowhere
