Hi from the UK
Hi all,
Been lurking here for a few years... still got lots to learn, but my thinking is changing from S/C to turbo ... had a ride in a mates FM2, and the thing that changed my mind was no lag at all!! So I'll be looking around to try and work out what I need to do to get my car quicker than his! He has a Mk1 1.6, currently running 252bhp... so no easy task! My project car is a 1991 V limited with a transplanted 2003 Mk2.5 Sport engine. It's not running yet, but hopefully will be running in a few weeks. Plan is to get it running NA just to do a health check on the engine, and then start building again over the winter. I've been gathering parts for a while... have a set of Carillo Rods, Adaptronic ECU and some other bits so I guess I need to find some pistons for a start. After that, I need to work out what turbo / manifold / etc... so I'll be doing a lot more lurking and hopefully not asking too many dumb questions! Russell. |
Thanks for joining, vindi49!

I took it off the road in february to change the clutch, and what was going to be a quick swap turned into something a lot bigger!! Bought a supercharged car to run around in while I sorted mine out... then had to repair that, and ended up respraying it, etc, etc... Jeez if I could only concentrate on one car at a time!!!

Cool! Nice to have visitors from the other side of the pond. Wait, I'm on the other other side LOL :)

Suppose I ought to introduce the cars too...
This is my main car, off the road at the mo but destined for great things once I can stick to a plan for more than 5 minutes! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1318499420 This is the Mazdaspeed.. started out silver and rusty, I've sorted the sills/ arches and resprayed it. The s/c needs setting up properly as the idle is all over the place, but at least I'm not embarrased to be seen in it! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1318499420 And this is the Wataru... slightly longer term project this one... https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1318499420 and what it should look like https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1318499420 Russell. |
Good to have you here!

Been digging around and asking a few friends about turbo setups etc, got a text from a mate "One word... Absurdflow". So I jump on their site and found some of their cars on Youtube .... damn, this is going to be fast... but expensive!!

Hi Russell :wavey:
I'm excited to see what you come out with in the end. Was looking forward to meeting you this weekend at the Nutz meet but obviously your 5 collection is keeping you too busy :rofl:. Is the Mazdaspeed an OEM colour? |

Is the Mazdaspeed an OEM colour? The Mazdaspeed is BMW Spakling Anthracite... lovely colour, shame the paint job was not to the best standard. I've spent the last 3 weekends flatting and polishing and respraying bits... should have just taken it to Painter Dave! Russell. |
Hi Russell
Another Nutz person makes it to here. I think I was lurking for even longer than you were! :bang: |
