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:

Ummm.. Where's the pic of your custom sub box??? The car looks great but I'd like to see your box!

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

So Clean, looking mint as!

What's your process for maintaining the paint? It looks so glossy and deep :D

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..

      Is the Hybrid FWD download capacity on towbar an error?

      Hi all, We managed to snag a fwd Cruiser recently from a dealer. Great car but I’m reading about the tow capacity and towball download capacity and it’s 480kg for towing and 50kg download limit. This seems extremely conservative. The FWD Petrol version is 800kg tow and 85kg download. Pretty disappointed in these numbers as I added the tow hitch for $1200 just so I can add a bike rack but based on the 50kg download limit I’d be hard pressed to put 2 bikes and the rack on it. Any ideas why these numbers are so low? Download limits are usually around 10-12% of tow capacity so maybe they just haven’t considered this?

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Thanks Ashley. Got lucky last time too as it was cylinder 4 last time a coil failed. The luck will eventually run out tho...

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Your are fortunate that cylinder 6 is easily accessible on the right hand side of Bank 2 which is the one closest to the front of the vehicle/radiator. Cylinder layout for the 2GR-FE is in the following URL: https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/location-of-cylinder-6-v6.470305/

      Power Steering Pump Leaking

      Yes repair cost would be so high it would be more than the car is worth. I wouldn't put an additive in the engine to stop an oil leak, but that's just me. If it plugs up gaps what's it doing to the rest of the engine with fine mesh filters etc. If the leak isn't bad I'd just leave it but make sure you are checking the oil every week, which you should be doing anyway without leaks.

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Hi All, Got the above engine code driving home tonight. I know ignition coil F is cylinder 6 and it's on the front bank, just want to confirm with the brains trust that it's the cylinder on front bank on the passenger side? Been combing the workshop manual but just can't find where it shows the cylinder numbers.

      Major Oil Leak

      Hi Jack. So sorry to hear that mate. If you can see metal flakes on the dipstick then I'd say the engine is toast. The VVTi system is very sensitive to low oil pressure/lack of oil. The metal flakes are most likely bearing material, either from the camshaft or the crankshaft. Either way you'll need a new engine or to rebuild it. Did you have the oil cooler line or the VVTi oil line replaced with full metal ones?

      Fuel gauge wander

      Hi guys. I have a 2002 Toyota Coaster and have changed my fuel tank sender and when I drive the fuel gage needle moves up and down about 1/8th of a tank depending on if I am accelerating or decelerating. I can’t personally remember if it used to do this before I changed the faulty sender or not. Just today I removed the instrument cluster and changed out the caps on the two boards for the fuel/temp and the tachometer gauge sets and reinstalled but no difference. I checked the orientation of the sender, however it can only go in one way or the screws don’t line up. Not sure if this slosh wander of the gauge is normal for the Coaster as it doesn’t do it in my Hiace. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions?

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊
