Well mate, if you like, we can do a dodgy, I pretty much have 2 complete piping kits for a gtir, we can always look at cutting them to fit with a shit load of silicon hose and clamps and make "custom made" pipe for it, plus I believe we could mock up some brackets of our own

Thats just asking for trouble, "custom Piping usually ends in leaks and pressure drop due to less than optimal pipe length and bends.

so is it carseldine this week?

Not sure what does everyone want to do? Me I want to play Gears 3 but I have to wait till thursday so I can co-op that shit.

i'm easy, as i pretty much in between both morayfield and carsaldine.

as for the customer pipe, this was basically saying that, if bodo really absolutely wanted to have a FMIC installed with little to no money, i have a FMIC plus pipe that we could cut and patch with hoses, this is by far not the best thing, as like you said would end up in leaks, but would be possible, as bodo would only need to get the hoses and clamps, i can supply the FMIC and pipe work, but in the end it is up to bodo as what he wants, these ideas are purely ideas and quite possibly bad ones, but ideas none the less.

Custom pipping may not be all it's worked up to be, specially if you are joining several pieces (silicone joitns cost). Might as well buy monsta pipping, or search ebay for the right length etc.

FMIC Ordered, hopefully here end of next week!

Anyone keen to make the meet weds/thursday? either of those days is fine this week, but coming weeks i will have to push thursdays (the mises)

im up for capers castledine tonight. a bit of a drive instead of just hanging around moronfield here. hopefullly chris can join us

im aware that doing a bodgy intercooler with far to many joins would be a dodgy. im just intrigued as too how well it can be made to fit. all those piping kits are aluminium arent they?? if so i have a welder that can fix that. :) i dont do bodgy, but if i can make something instead of buying it, i'll always take that option.....either because ima cheap skate or.....i dunno :whistling:. im sure the best possible intercooler piping length is, the shortest possible way. without going to many sharp bends. i'll see what Joe has there, and if its possible it will be a whole weekend project to piece together i think.

Well mate, I'll be going down to the folks not this weekend but the following, so I'll pick up everything I have, that's pipe hoses and cooler, I believe the pipes are not aluminum, I think there some sort or light steel with crome coating, basically the same as what I have on the line.

However, I might go down this weekend and pick them up as the boy is with the grandparents and I have a feeling I'll need to get him, I'll let you know mate, but I think I have enough pipe to do the kit for you

    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT  
    • Haha good old Letterkenny! If you're looking for another great english canadian comedy, I strongly recommend Trailer Park Boys.
