Just looked it up...does look nice and factory. Wonder if the LS upset the handling at all...apparently doesn't bother the RX7s too much. That's probably something I'd say excessive / tyre frying. Be happy with about 200rwkw in an MX5; would be plenty to have fun and keep it tractable on the street.

No, LS won't upset the handling since it's light being all aluminium motor.

Surely the standard 1.8 is alloy and half its size?

i was more talking OEM engines, not swaps.
 
if we swapping I'm sticking with a  426 hemi,  
cos fck yeah
 


The LS works as it's compact and lightweight, also readily available for not a lot of $$$. why not an ls7 or lt4/lsa if you wanted to go nuts.

Leigh considered a Megane RS?

These things are seriously fun, well equipped and good handling cars for the money

MX5's are freaking amazing when done well. I kinda want an SE

GF has the SE. Did the alpine road this weekend, made a 3 day-er of it.

Seriously fun. Has AD08R's and coilovers on it now, it's just such an active car when you drive it hard.
One day it'll have a tune and make ~180rkw and yeah I'll probably deliberately write my 34 off over a cliff and buy three of them.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
