yeah woulda taken 13.5, esp interstate buyer cos there'd be no post purchase hassles either.

in other news, keeping an eye out for a LSx v8 conversion kit to finish development for the NC MX5. Hopefully in a year or two. Once it is, goodbye Golf... hello LS1 powered MX5. Currently there's only kits for older MX5's, and the whole kit including engine only adds a smidgen under 100kg to the car :D mmm RWD v8 gokart deathtrap.

Wishing I was you right now..

  • Nope 1

how'd soccer go? thought you'd have a heart attack since your lazy asss never goes gym hahah

was almost gonna say where ya playin an come past.. but then i ddint get out of bed till 1230. zzzz

Soccer was great haha I'm a machine, I still play indoor so that kinda keeps me fit. Your the slack one, who stays in bed that late haha

We played at the synthetic court at the school on Pt Cook rd near sanctuary lakes.

except that's using the sack of shit toyota V8, not an all alloy LS engine, and it's in a chassis that's old. The NC chassis is balls out fun, and handles great in N/A form, so if I can put an LS engine into an NC chassis, it'd be perfect for my needs. Then I could just supercharge it for shits n giggles :D

The LS conversion kits for the older MX5's they do in the US even preserves the weight balance by moving the engine further back than standard. Bullets are front heavy and handle like ass, been in one for a drive, the owner kept understeering and then snap oversteering to correct.

go an NB shan...... just for looks really :)

nah, NC or GTFO. They cost about 25k atm, in a year I should be able to pick one up for about 20k. 10k for conversion = 30k deathtrap.

and it's an evo 8. better off getting an evo 7 RS or getting a locally delivered evo 9. why waste money on the middle child? only evo 8 worth getting is an Evo 8 MR, anything less is just a waste of money.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
