IIRC last time you tried that, you didn't have much luck either though100% my so called next “performance car” is going to be factory fresh with a long warranty.

That will probably be more of a problem than this. Might be better using built up fittings. Never been a fan of swaged ends, maybe coz u can't fix them100% my so called next “performance car” is going to be factory fresh with a long warranty.
It's all those cars you tortured years ago getting payback
It would fail to catch fire Adey knowing Marks luck

Not too much to report.
I had a new turbo oil line made up but added a 90 degree bend to reduce the chances of another stressed/broken line. Also sorted an annoying leak at the turbo oil adaptor fitting. No more oil leaks.
We’ve had a long term issue with 3 to 3.5k area of the map on cruise where rotor 1 would be a lot cooler than rotor 2, a change from the 1650s to the Bosch 2200s has solved that issue. To make the swap easy I just bought the little adapter looms too.
Ive also had an intermittent issue with the dash losing power, it’s been few and far between but In order to stop it happening again I’ve been checking all of the earth points of new loom, the very nature of the car is that it vibrates a lot so just trying to get a solid reliable base.
Cleaned up the main ECU earth point.
This weekend I’m going to swap over to a 10 60 oil, will stick to Valvoline for now.
In summary the car is becoming more and more reliable after each drive, slowly sorting all the little issues and then we can start pushing it.
Final thing to do is test water meth set up flow rates and then we can start to introduce meth and more boost.

A bit of noise for you lot.
This is a 5.97 run so a little slower but you get the point. 1 bar and 10k rpm.

I’ve swapped out the GRacing short shifter for the JP3 short shift kit from USA.
It’s based on the Mazdaspeed/ C’s short shift kit and hoping that this one will help with the accuracy of the 2nd to 3rd shift.
Swapped out from the MX5 to RX7 gearbox top mount.
Fitted the new shifter with spacer and gasket. Also topped up with a little gear oil.
Fitted the rest of the gear surround and carbon gear knob.
Next mission is get as close to 5.5s 100-200 at 1bar. Wish me luck.

Is this in a single gear Mark?

The 5.95 was just third.
Tomorrow will be a 2nd to 3rd. Should have a mid 5 in it. Let’s all say a little prayer for my gearbox.
How much quicker can you do it in a sequential?The 5.95 was just third.

For context 5.5 is the current quickest 13B powered FD in the country and that car run 26psi. I’m at 14.5psi, imagine mine at 2bar.
