    I love the smoothed splitter with the rubber splitter underneath, everytime I've seen it I've wanted to 98spec lip my car! disappointed that its going to be broken, but its one of them things!

    Glad to see your cracking on with it mate!

    UPPDDDAATTESSSSSSSS. Nothing on the mechanical side yet, still running on throttle bodies, really enjoying the sound but havent worked to set them up any better or done any supporting mods yet, deffo faster at the top end though! But this update is a visual update! New wheels 98 Spec front bumper + Lights + Indicators + Standard glanza bonnet! Also turns out that as of next week it will be the 3 month marker since I decided to stick with this car and actually modify it, its gone along way!

    Sounding good! Thank fuck you got back into it!

    I believe the term your looking for is "win win"?

    (The blurple na that wasn't me that is) Mate spotted you behind him as we were leaving, we went left up a road at which point you turned back round and went back to the industrial estate I think?

    Away Josh, don't bail so easily! Ive done the whole changing cars thing constantly for a while and I regret every change where I haven't stuck to my plans (however small or large), plus its a massive money sink, will make it rather hard to save up surely!

    Ah, cheers for the info! I looked into wiring the AEM in but figured I'd just try it propely with a new lambda off a mate first, just letting it run rich atm, just costing a few pennies! Cheers for the help though! I remember reading something like this somewhere, I'll look into more if the problem persists, cheers So, for those of you whoa re interested, got a short video off a mate as I was leaving Malton Big breakfast today, imo you can't really hear the throttle bodies individually, but as a whole you can defo tell its not just a backbox on the car! Exhaust system is completely s

    If it works it works; can't argue when you see the power figures!

    Cheers bud! Just tried this helped a shit load, no where near as lean at all now, infact pretty useable in that respect, leans out a bit but NOTHING like it was before!... just obviously struggling with idle and cruising making it overfuel like a fuck whenever not on the throttle! Gonna try sticking another one in tomorrow while sorting the FPR and things to see if it helps, cheers mate I'll PM you in a sec Aye, being considering ECU options tbh due to maybe wanting more power and a turbo sometime (potentially far away depending how far this NA build goes

    So recently been to the exhaust place and got my wideband sensor fitted, then came home and fitted it. Haven't really been posting many updates, because really there's not many updates worth posting atm! Alot of running problems were solved with a quick ignition overhaul but short time with the wideband has revealed that a bit of the low end hesitation was been caused by the car running far far far too lean and then slowly riching up back to 12/13's as the revs get higher, haven't pinpointed why this is happening yet but should hopefully be getting my FPR in tomorrow with a bit of hel

    Cheers lads! And aye can be done quite cheap considering and its quite rewarding slowly getting it all running! On which note, refreshed the dizzy cap, rotor arm etc and its running a million times better, the sound is ridiculous and it is starting to feel somewhat faster! Got some new plugs on the way and just ordered a AEM wideband, get that in and see whats going on and then sort it all out with the fpr I just ordered! I'll bare that in mind mate cheers! And the map sensor is just the standard map sensor and it goes straight to my vacuum manifold which can be seen zip tied(there

    Needs a gv lip or something on the front to pull the bottom out a bit imo! Looks good though, ive still got a thing for mx5s done right!
  17. jimlols
    Quite a few of us probably up for that from around here!

    I feel sorry for any small (or large) animals that get in your way..

    Ideally it does! but sadly with the wheels been 14's im struggling to find tyres in a acceptable price range that are gonna take the punishment I'm gonna give them, so migh thave to change to 15's anyway! Update on the ITBs; Running much better today, got a bigger vaccuum mani in so I now have full use of my brakes again and switched the wires on the tps so it wasn't wired in reverse..whoops! Sometimes its a bit hesitant when first coming onto the throttle at low revs but no biggy atm, slowly getting there! Plus the noise, oh the noise is so good!

    Triumph TR600's I think, bought them off here! But aye thats the intention, get it running as well as possible for now which hopefully shouldn't take much more doing, then get a FPR and get it dyno'd / lightly tuned maybe, but for now is just about getting it running nice and smoothly. I'll get a video of them propely opened up and revving at somepoint, the throttlebodies plus the backbox make it far to loud to be doing in the middle of my street!... Might need to have to get a custom manifold made up at this rate to! And a picture after pissing about today:

    just gets better and better this! I love what you've done with the remix bumper to, looks much better with the black

    >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOyYHSXUlTo That they are! Lots of genius ideas from toffa and a few others to solve problems with recycled parts on a shoe string budget.. Currently driveable, bit hesitant and brake servo looses vaccuum quite quickly...which is erm...fun.. all these problems should be solved when my proper sized vacuum manifold arrives tomorrow and I get it plumbed in! Seems you can also hear the exhaust burbling and popping from all the fuel been dumped in that video! Impressed with how the stock ECU is handling it so far if we can get it running smooth!

    Bwaaappp

    Did you ever get hold of that lsports spoiler? But I think I'm gonna proper love this! Bit of love/hate marmite styling is always good!
  25. jimlols
    Got a spare front brace in my old one, gonna nick a rear anti roll bar from a mate, then probably bare in mind the idea of cheaply welding some metal in there like youve said! in other news...
