    As a VI with my own IO, I can confirm this is absolutely 100% true. I've also heard that you can't have them certified with OE turbos now too, so guess you've got no real option.
  2. Dell'orto
    Can confirm Link and big single turbo are an excellent choice, do try it.

    Well it's partially because FDs are so well supported by the aftermarket, there are at least 15 variants of any type of bolt on you can think of, so it's ridiculously easy to buy for. Kit looks like an early Mazdaspeed kit, with a Jun bonnet?

    Love all the Mazdaspeed bits on it, good score. FD's are the best, I'll fight anyone who says otherwise

    Late to the party, but I now run my own little after hours workshop in Upper Hutt, do WOF's and am less aggressive toward old cars... Also interesting you had issues there - I've known the owner for ages, he's usually pretty chill

    Bloody rotary owners, always selling shady crap haha. I guess lots of that can be put down to peoples skill level - what they think is ok often turns out to be subpar at best.

    Is Matt building your motor?
  8. Dell'orto
    Buy one, grenade, claim warranty, repeat?

    The torch section is a bunch bigger than the factory flare, so I think it's pushing it outward a bit? I did move it for the pic though so could just be that. I do have an OE flare if you're feeling brave!

    I got one of these from a compliance centre customer fages back, could likely get more if you wanted one?

    Is this going to be a case of buying a parts car that's too good to wreck so becomes a second project car?

    If its auto, it might be a dick to line up the torque converter when you reinstall it (unless you're taking the box out after?). If you've got big axle stands, they'll make your life way easier than ramps!

    I do love how much effort you put into a door handle! I'm expecting similar amounts of OCD in the engine itself too thanks

    Under 10v at the battery would suggest it's shagged. Follow piazzanoobs advice too, but most likely just wang a new battery in it.

    Nah owned it well before the days of cheap digital cameras, let alone cell phones, but honestly nearly identical exterior-wise. From super vague memory it had conventional door mounted mirrors though.

    The bigger Projecta ones are good, but the little 100a version is a waste of time

    Ooosh, looks heaps like my old one from back in the day, though mine was 12AT and manual. Super plush car for a mid 80s sedan!
  18. Dell'orto
    It's definitely time for a 12A j port 4AGE conversion then

    It's a fuck up and will explode If you do not do banana aided b-0wts ASAP

    I found AE111 BZG springs were a nice drop for my old 4afe Corolla, way nicer rate too. Also on the KYB excel g struts
  21. Dell'orto
    Super super super excited to see how you get on with this guy!

    The MX5 diff would splinter behind a 3S, NA6 diffs pop with the shitty B6, the NB ones aren't heaps better. Get an RX8 and pillage it, renesis and 6 speed would go OK in a light car. Rear end is probably a bit too wide though
  23. Dell'orto
    Whispy smoke from the engine bay is normal when you've been in there tinkering, grease and oil get transferred onto hot bits. Wouldn't be worried unless its plumes.
  24. Dell'orto
    Nice result, gotta be happy to hear that first fire up!

    Was just going to post this - had the exact issue on a friend's KP, that old fusible link stuff turns to garbage with age.
