Think you can get me and my piss weak MX5 to drift mate?

Definately... If you want Fatz will get in the car with you - get you started by body rolling the car. By the end of the day the MX5 will be doing something that resembles a drift. Either way you will have plenty of fun and get plenty of advance car control practice.

can i drift my stock auto? (its a serious question)

Auto really does not stop you doin much.. There are a few drifting autos in competition.

My breakage list so far consists of:

Brake Master Cylinder

Calipers

Radiator plastic tank

Exhaust manifold studs

Coils

...and thats 3 trackdays.

ahh you have been unlucky mate.

In over 30 trackdays I did

Rear Diff $500

Engine $2000

which is about $83 in damage per day :spank:

+consumables like brake pads, fluid and oil

Drifting??? Why would ANYONE drift when you could go to a nationally recognised drag racing meet andf compete.

Ghey ar$ed drifters - get over yourselves and come to a REAL motorsport :D

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
