siren676 Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Time for an update on mods and parts hoarding. Got some new gauge faces with rescaled speedo to be accurate with the 4.778 diff, now only reading 2% high. Entered into 4&Rotary show at asb showgrounds, car club convinced me to fit the S2 Racing front end in time for the show. Unfortunately it sits too low and would get destroyed for daily use so took it off until i figure out some sort of air raiser setup. Designing and collecting parts to redo the interior, making a new center console, radio surround and cluster cover. Also have started to piece together an itb setup. And just this weekend installed a new 272° intake cam to suit the n/a route im taking along with a BFMR rocker cover, Maruha cam gears and a catch can. And mandatory idle video 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Ahhh you're the bloke at BNT in Otahuhu. I came by a few weeks ago buying a bucket of grease for the work truck(madaz) and commended your mx5! Thought it looked familiar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siren676 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 More progress. Got a Suzuki Cappuccino washer bottle to replace the stock one as the stainless headers were boiling the washer fluid straight out. Started building my custom center console, will be sealed with fiberglass/epoxy then covered in leather and stainless steel. Finally got the guts to take the car out drifting. Went to a drift day at the new Evergreen drift track at Meremere. Car had no problems throughout the day and the super short gearing worked perfect for the tight track. Unfortunately only took down a pair of skid wheels which i went through in 45mins track time so i have a boot mounted tyre rack in the works for next time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siren676 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Borrowed the brake flaring tool from work and made up some lines to relocate the brake proportioning valve from beside to under the master cyl for more itb clearance. Fitted slightly bigger brakes (255mm front, 250mm rear) off an NA8 MX5 along with braided lines, new pads and rotors. Car stops on a dime now and the handbrake has a lot more bite. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
