Good stuff Rob.

Hoping my engine holds together for another 2 meetings and then I'll be pulling mine out for a rebuild during the off season.

After pulling the na6 motor down and seeing that it needs a lot of work done

We are going to skip the 1600 and go to 1800 low km motor

Thing is of I'm going to rebuild a motor why waste it on 1600

So more power is the way

Found a motor thanks to mx-5 plus

Pick up the motor this week
And start fitting
Got some nice gear coming from mx-5 mania
