shorty

thats quality. 13b ftw ;) if i didnt have a v id be sooo tempted by a nice mx5, love drivin my mates.

"we buy any car" thats the only way my mate shifted his 206 gti in the end, price wasnt too bad but is worth getting a quote off them maybe.

^^^ Agreed! Boosted mx5= big win!!!!!!!!!!!!

downgrade my arse!! get a turbo kit on it and then tell me its a downgrade, we are are aquiring a turbo kit and rebuilt engine for my mates mx5 the set up has come from another mx5 running 257hp with plenty more power in it! mx5's are hugley under estimated and great handeling cars!!

WEPR is great gear bud, waiting on my new mani from them to turn up atm and ran a ct9 set up of their's in the past too, second to none tbh and I've had a few different brands in my time lol

Gonna stick up for legend here, the fact he drives auto is errelivant, he stated when odering its auto what more could he do, he is in the hands of the trader if they ok the fit your not going to question them. Tbh mate i feel you pain theres nothing worse than having a simple job fucked over by somthing out of your hands! If a kit is said to fit it should fit! Take it to an exhust specialist they will flip it round in ten mins cost fook all im sure its only mild steel is easy to chop and weld

If the oil leak is bad you may want to consider a new clutch when you do the box and also clean the fly realy well, as oil will contaminate the friction pads on the cluch disc and effect the disc. just make sure you check it all over well. Thats only if it doesnt turn out to be the sump as that may well cure your issue anyhow

Just support tge weight of the engine and drop of the mounts and change em one at a time, they are fairly easy to swap tbh, and id start with the sump too, taking the fly off for the crank seal will be the hardest part! We had to use an airgun on the bolts as they ar tourqed up high and locktighted when installed so are a biach to get out

Lol @ steve thats how i used to change mine all the time, comes off easy now same as mickey change mine every 3k though. Need to use a flathead screwdriver n knock a groove in the silver ring closest to the oil filter housing like with a rounded nut

no its not liam, has the same alloys that i did have on mine a year back but my baby is still parked outside also saw this at fest though and had a good chat with the lad who tracked it, guess he thrashed it few to many times if he killed the bottom end

yea baby! nothing better than building your own engine

not checked out your build before, looks awesome but the comment on using speedvision springs worries me a bit. has been alot of buggered engines from thoese springs dude, his cams are ok but thoese springs are bad, i recomend cruise springs if you wnat uprated springs. sorry for the negative comment, just dont want to see your effort go to waste.

the joys of starlets lol, dont worry dude you gotta expect some teething problems for the first 6 months after such a big rebuild tbh i like the sound of oem kit and gi bonnet will look very clean!

If you dont have a forged engine i honestly wouldnt run the td05 mate, td04 would be a far better option as the td05 needs a fair bit of boost to make it worth running. Just a heads up before you go to the hassle of fitting it.

they arnt oem doors on the white evo engined gt

sad news mate, but family comes first at the end of the day, mine would be gone in a flash if my Mrs got pregnant. hope you find a job soon

You know ill be up for that, specialy if the v is finshed having winter upgrades

Is a bracket under it and a bolt through the top, losen both push it up and tighten them both back up take 20mins just need to jack the car up to make it easier to do.

congrats boys, was a good way to raise some fundage

is one round my way and my v aint shy but that thing shifts!!

tbh i had an unbranded one on my hybrid setup few years back, worked a treat, only cost a tenner lol

shame its not the cupra R they are silly quick

cant hurt to ask bud, new engine (well low milage second hand) will be around 400-600

reason most say number three is because the oem mani has a restriction in the third runner and if you up the boost it normaly kills number three due to the pressure increase, you have an aftermarket mani however so it more bad luck than anything id say

i would tbh, but then it depends on the kind of guy you are. some will sell a car and not care id personally want to be kept up to date on it if i sold mine on but that's more to do with the attachment i have to my v than how good a guy you are or aren't as a seller lol
