Just a small update on the MX-5. I’m trying my best not to fall into the exact same mod path as my old car, but I can’t help it… just loved that car so much as I had it set up so right.
I’ve been haunting Yahoo Auctions Japan a lot lately and I’ve bought a lot of great goodies for this car, all of it’s coming soon. For now here’s a little progress:
Took the factory airbox and snorkel out.
I bought a 2nd hand MX-5 Mania intake (same as on my old NA8C) so I had to drill a big hole in the firewall. Red marks the pilot hole (which was existing).
A cordless drill was never going to cut it, so we whipped out the heavy artillery!
Clean and tidy except the hole saw wasn’t quite big enough, the red texta indicates how much larger the hole had to be.
We all had goes enlarging the hole with a dremel. Tedious but we got there in the end.
Intake installed and a simple bracket made up to help it stay in place.
All done and it sounds brilliant!
Serg is a clown! PS: I’ve yet to wash the car!
Zi had a load of Road&ster mags which I’ve stolen for some light bedside reading (probably NOT a great idea?!).
