I haven't been idle over my 6 month recuperation, my son and I have been tinkering with the wee MX5 I bought late last year.
You'll probably see there's a new addition tucked under the hood![]()
Whoo it isn't another engine conversion just a turbo strapped on to the standard engine. That doesn't sound right, what it is is a project my son and I have worked on for over 10 months. Well it's more like 6 to be honest, but it's something I've wanted to do for along time that's produce a turbo kit for these wee cars. I'm hoping to have some fun while out mapping this to a potential 300bhp.stevo///m3 said:Stevie.w said:Thanks lads, looking forward to it.

Tucked away in the furthest corner of my storage unit is my next project if all going to plan. It's my beloved STI RA Impreza from 1995 and only 29k on the clock, pity I sold most of the running gear from it. Plans are to fit flat6 EZ30 or EZ36 engine and 6 speed box and possibly run it with supercharger kit. 6 cylinder will sound really nice with custom headers and system. These are fairly long term plans that may start next year at some point.
On another note I have to thank all members for your kind thoughts on my recovery. Thanks.
You ain't kidding. Biggest journey so far is 225mls and sure it cost £80 in fuel!srhutch said:You'll have to come to zedfest next year. You'll need a fuel bowser though :lol:
Stevie.w said:We covered 2000mls this summer having a 10 day trip round the Alps. I used a Z350 and used £380 in fuel over the holiday, Brutus would have taken £690!
