had a ride in a 2002 mx-5 today top down sunny day cold air intake and exhaust beautiful thing :P how does it compare to the tivo? in all honesty loved your tivo too mate pure class same as the mx-5

Cheers mate. I try to make my changes functional B) , but sometimes you need the extra rice :P

My MX5 is a completely different beast. The sussy is still relatively stock (only on lowered springs, stock Bilstein shocks and stock SE swaybars), but very 'crashy' over the bumps. More so than the D2s on the stivo. New suspension and sways would definitely make it handle like its on rails.

Btw if you (and others) weren't aware, SEs are turbo'd, but atm makes similar power to the stivo, albeit through the rear wheels :P . Full boost from the IHI VJ35 factory turbo (tiny lil thing!) comes on around 3500-4000rpm and redline is at 6500rpm, so definitely different there compared to the 8200rpm redline on the stivo. With an aftermarket ECU, injectors and current mods, it should be somewhere in the range of 170-180kW atw!

Oh and the Torsen LSD helps massively :toast:

Yeah I finished the box a while back and had it in. Not too many photos of it I'm afraid. I was really limited with the choice of subs i could work with so I'm selling the box and the sub.

The box was more of an exercise to familiarise myself a bit more with fiberglass.

Btw I ended up with a Bazooka 8 inch dual voice coil sitting in my empty boot. Hard to get decent quality bass when there's no carpet, trim, nada lol. But it will do.

Not much has happened since last time...

Did some DIY things to get her to look the way I want:

-Blacked out badges and rearranged rear

-Bought OEM reflectors and sprayed them red using metalcast (still reflect perfectly)

-Restitched my handbrake as it was looking scraggy and brown more than red (thanks to this thread http://www.mazda-speed.com/forum2/index.php/topic,20058.0.html. The thread I had was a little too thin so I doubled the thread for each pass.

Then I took her for some pics yesterday

Actually in these photos my car wasn't the cleanest.

Full detail usually includes:

-Wash with Megs Nxt Gen car wash with microfibre wash mitt

-303 Fabric/Vinyl Cleaner for the soft top

-Claybar

-A pass of Megs Ultimate compound with Megs G220 DA polisher/Lake Country pad

-Autoglym Super Resin Polish with Megs G220 DA polisher/Lake Country pad

-Now using Megs Ultimate wax liquid (was using Tech wax 2.0)

-Megs Ultimate detailer and Megs Ultimate Quik wax as an inbetween.

I do this maybe once or twice a year..

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
