Glad your doing what you want.

BUT ..

I dont understand why your putting a nissan 1.8 in AND .. why did you have to buy it? its christmas and your boyfriend isnt using it anyway.

A mazda 1.8 will drop in without any dramas and have a better upgrade path than the 1.8 CA.

Please please don't take my comments at criticisms, do what you like, i'm just interested to know your future plans.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Yup, freakin' awesome!
Well done for moving outside the traditional mods...
The VS kit is very confronting, especially on the 5 but it is a look
that fits in well with the chrome/bling/autosalon scene and
is so very different to all the silvias, skylines, etc.
Nice airbrushing as well and so very individual.
Kudos to you :mrgreen:

Love the artwork, very nice, not too keen on the shuriken though - look damn heavy, but then they're for show, not go and some like that look.

Cheers,

So you love it hey AJ ??

I give Sharyl 10 out of 10 for having extremely large KAHUNAS for posting it here where there are so many purists who wont even put a VOODOO knob in their cars cause its wayyyyy too blingy !

:)

Kudos to you !

Actually, the only thing I personally am not a fan of is the massive chromies. Everything else looks pretty damn nice.

I like it. 8)

If the CA18 is the same age as the car or newer, you should be fine to swap it in. It will need new engine mounts, gearbox mount to the PPF and the original ECU to pass engineering.

The little turbo on it means you don't get much out of it after about 9 psi.
But CA's rock! I bolted one in a bluebird and it was quite good.

Kudos
Huh?

Yup, mounting the PPF to the gear box will be one of the biggest challenges.

If your boyfriend says your MX-5 can do without the PPF then withhold \"special privledges\" until he changes his thinking.
