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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
