Mk1 mx5 build

Turns out that manifold is'nt so gooord so I am decided whether to stick it on and run low boost for a while or just make a good one and jump in and run max boost.
so then I went and got these

So i may make a "log style" mani that will just never break.
V v tempted to stick it on for the track day but not 100% sure id get it done in time as we all know, something will go wrong and probably set me back a few days because cars suck balls.

looking forward to getting some michelin pilot sport 3s on as these budget tyres suck.

Fitted the new tyres for the trackday, love them.
Also made some side 'feed' skirts and fitted them and the intercooler. it was a bitch.
Manifold is now made. just needs a tiny bit of adjusting so it fits right.
Only need a downpipe and the turboing starts!

Starting to put everything on this week! I can already see some problems forming.

Well the turbo fit in pefectly after a a quick alteration with the manifold.
IMG_5284.jpg It looks so big!

The downpipe I got didnt fit so I chopped it up and got some ss bends and made my own. For now, it's going from 3" to 2.5" to 2" back to 2.25" just to get me on the road. I'll be changing that eventually.
