MX5 turbo on the road again.......

[Fozzy]

Being so far away from the MX5 has been a major issue in finishing this project so i decided enough was enough so i gave up and started something a little easier.........










Its hard work, but at least i can build it inside where its warm and dry.


I wasn't sure what to do with the real car, but beings as it finally went and passed its MOT i thought it was about time we lost some of that back pressure.

Time for some 'fabrication'





Plenty of room under the car without that pesky cat and silencer. Still wasn't quite ready for its first real drive. I have no pictures of this part as i was too busy whimpering as i killed the arches with the roller. But heres some of the end result.





That last one is more proof i drove it somewhere.

Although the excitement was short lived as after about 30miles of 'testing' the car the gasket between the manifold and adaptor plate blew through. I know have to remove the turbo and weld the plate to the manifold then i'm good to go.
