Mk1 Mx5 build

Yeah thy are! This car was originally auto so I had to get the box then get it swapped. Cost a fortune. Worth it though. Diffs have gone up too. I had one in my first mx5 but that was stolen and burned out and crushed. It's a 1.8l.
Yeah the diff and box will hold 240 all day. Your clutch won't though.
What engine do you have? What size turbo? I recommend a gt2560r from an s15.

shit you haven't had much luck with cars!ha As far as I know I have a stage 1 clutch in mine so previous owner said when I bought it. He was planning on turboing it before he sold it. So might last a while! What's the best clutch out there for these?

Mine is a 1.6, I got it with a td04 off an Impreza. It's in perfect condition so gonna go with that. Some guy called sturovo on one of the mx5 forums makes manifolds and downpipes to suit your needs, so gonna go with that.

What ecu do you have?

I just sold my turbo kit today for my mx5

**Mx5markey** · 13-11-15, 13:46

My luck with cars is rediculously bad. There's plenty of clutches, exedy and Flyin Miata are both solid.
Tdo4 should be grand yeah with a good tune. Sturovo has been non contactable for a few months now. I was going to go for him too. I think he's busy doing his main job. Try flying Miata for their kits, or g19 in England. They do them for the tdo4. I'm using an ms2 built by Dimitris on nutz. He's a wizard.

Kruizer you mad man!

just seen this, this is the website sturovo is using....http://reventshop.com/post/132118028632/regularkit €615 including everything
gonna have a look for G19 now.
There's a guy in Letterkenny that does exhausts and I might try him as well, would like to keep the money local!

Is Dimitris, the same as Reverant?

**Mx5markey** · 13-11-15, 16:15

Yeah that's the man! €615 is a good price. He makes good stuff. I knew a welder who made mine on the side. Problem was it was made off the car, so I just went with what I thought looked right, and I was lucky haha
