yea what he said, its all mid corner poping, unless i'm goin for the big entries and then in that case its a 3rd or 4th gear pop to get the thing going.
Scando flicks are alright but in some situations dont work, or dont work well enough or just look shite.
I've been researching all arvo and have come to the conclusion that i'm stuffed! heheh but also TII is a major operation including some things i didnt think of like moving the slave over to the other side which brings it closer to the exhaust plus theres heaps of \"releiving\" to be done to the box to clear bolts, exhaust and starter motor.
There's one mention of using a 88-89 929 box as it is more similar to the b series engine blocks which could make bolting it up easier, andanother sort mention of using, from what i can gather, an auto mx bell housing a TII (gen 2) middle and a TT (gen 3) rear. This would make it bolt onto the engine, have tought internals and have a workable rear (ie the ppf mount is on the opposite side but this might make it easier to make a custom mount).
Also i've been trying to find pics of an SR20 box as the place in WA that make the conversions has the custom ppf mounts already which would make that part easier.
But in my search i found that the MX5 6 speed is the same as the sr20 6 speed but just with different gearing ratio and different bell housing. So with any luck this would have th esame strength as the srbox but fit in with out as much of the trouble (wiring is different
). Then i'd have trouble with the ratios as i currently have a 4.3 gearing in my 1.8L rear - so i wonder if i could put the sr gearst into the mx box? Also from what i have read the sr 6 speed weakness is due to a dodgy circlip between 3rd and 4th but if its welded in or recessed for better seating it fixes the problem.
The first box is at the mechanics so i'll find out exactly what happened, might just be a better that stock option to get a new stock gear set shot peened and heat treated.
Damn weak mx5 parts! Cant handle my abuse!
