Well I took my engine out to do the clutch and I have a bit of welding to do as well.. so not this week. Where abouts are you based? Anytime you need some advice let me know on pm and I'll sort you out. They are an awesome car with a bit of power :-) my advice is to get a kit and a good ecu. Don't bother with rising rate regualtors or any of that if I were you. I have a megasquirt and its cool to be able to do your own mapping

Thanks man..
Haven't updated in a while, noting has really changed on the car, have been driving it every day it has been flying and hasnt missed a beat since he engine was changed thank fuck.
Have been having loads of fun in it, especially in the wet, but it really needs more power.. so over the winter its going to get a turbo of some sort, i haven't made my mind in which route to go yet but i know for sure that it will be a turbo..
Here is a few pics i have taken recently, looking forward to seeing other lads cars at Japfest now next weekend
Cheers

cheers, i hate how it sits right now, its 4 inches too high but i wanted it in and got sick of waiting so long for the rail... i am tempted to bolt it straight to the floor now... few changes over the winter though.... wings and canards and stuff so happy days

The seat does look the mutts nuts alright, will look the mutts nuts when you've it sitting a bit lower.

The car looks unreal on the road as well, some presence for a small car!

Well, not been upto much on the car, but the last few weeks i have really loved driving it, so much fun in the rain!
I am in two minds at the moment what to do with it powerwise, i have almost ordered the sr sump and mounting kit a few times, but the last few days i have been thinking, 3000 is alot to be paying for mounts and a sump (especially when i want to keep the miata low, and if i damaged the modified sr20 sump, its 1500 quid to replace).. i have found a good complete td04 turbo kit yesterday though and its cheap so hopefully the guy who had reserved the kit doesnt show up with a deposit by monday so i will get it.. I will hopefully be able to have the car turbod and mapped for less than the sr mounts and sump, so this is good news
Fingers crossed this works out, then i will have the guts of 200 bhp to play with.
Had the car in at Japfest, was upset i didnt get to lower it or even clean it properly but it still looked respectful, here is a few pics.
Thanks
