They are exactly what I wanted (I think :lol:

), haven't got the EDFC in yet. Trying to find good information on decent headers at the moment, any thoughts guys?

Believe it or not the factory headers are pretty good actually. Changing them alone won't do much for performance. Best bet is to spend early exhaust dollars on high flow cat and then 2.25 inch pipe back from there to a decent rear muffler. Search on here for Town and Country exhaust - they're in Geelong I think it is, but some info around here on what specs that system is. The Loch Stewart exhaust is a good one, and local too - available incl headers or headers back. But of course if you've got the funds available to do the whole exhaust at once, I don't see a good reason why not

I will be making the exhaust from headers to the back! :lol:

Yes I am crazy, I don't mind :shock:

Possible Venturi segment to muffler then airflow assist catch at the back, with no bends in the system. Something a little different. I just really want to avoid making my own headers.

I'm writing this from my laptop downstairs stripping my car to put in the EDFC and my stereo tomorrow. I tell you, air blasting your seats and carpet and watching the amount of dust and particles come out is just plain foul.

On the note of me harassing the lot of you - I'm chasing for an NB8B -

A Carbing 3 point strut brace (or similar) to replace my bent standard brace
Extractors
Improved/larger air intake

Cheers - Chris

Did Nebo/Glorious twice this weekend with my Tein SS + EDFC installed, what a ride! 40PSI all round is worth the bumps when you hit a magic piece of road which is around 80% of it.

They are slowly patching & fixing the road which is nice. Should be finished by the end of the year

Radar was at Mt. Glorious Village on Sunday morning.

I try to get out alot on the weekends and there is always a free seat available in my car when I go for a drive or if anybody else wishes to tag along in the morning/afternoon.

We also gave Nebo Gloriuos a run on Sunday morning.
Aaprt from the single lane repair areas, its pretty good.
Such an enjoyable bit of road.
Had the BC dampers softened up, to cope with the crappy roads around Bris atm, and it was great fun.

Absolutely brilliant isn't it. Even when I was a passenger the views and G forces were more than enough to make me happy. MX-5's being one of the best weapons to drive it aswell, giving you the best sensations for the speeds and corners your tackling.

I'd love to drive it in a Caterham.

It's the first Friday so I would hope there is

I will be there with bells on. I have a friend of my sons coming along who used to race go karts in argentina. He wants to bring his dad along. I am happy to take one of them as a passenger. Would anyone else be able to take someone as a passenger.
Would be much appreciated if you can.

I swear to God I was a passenger beside a reincarnated Ayrton Senna last night. Guard rail, swerve left, sharp right hander and the driver says " Stay calm"

Yes it was fun.
