From the workshop manual it looks like there's a bolt at 12oclock - how do i get this out? There doesnt seem to be any access. Which side should i come at it from - exhaust or front driveshart (I havent removed either at this stage).

Tnx,

Kot

I think the easiest way is to remove the gearbox xmember then lower the gearbox which tilts the whole box/motor back; then you can get at the bolt.

Hi,

The xmember is already lowered - i still cant reach.

we use two looonnnng extensions with a universal on the end....easy as!

it needs to be as long as the gearbox as you get to it from the rear.

Tnx Dirt & Kami, the gearbox is out! Spent all day today getting the twin plate cage apart (three broken allen keys later and i had to drill the last bolt out...) anyway its done now.

Got any tips for flywheel bolts? Obviously i'll need to fix the flywheel somehow.

Use a big socket on the crank pulley bolt to stop engine rotation and torque flywheel bolts up. Two people makes this job easy.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
