Mania says "Near the Throttle Body"


Really would like to install the cams my self, but then i would have to drive the camm'ed car from canberra to sydney on a stock ecu, which may run like absolute arse (whatcha reckon?)

[Fuzzlet]

Well MAP stands for "Manifold Absolute Pressure", so you're gonna want the T-piece as close to the manifold as possible. There's plenty of vacuum lines coming off the manifold. You can plumb ur own vacuum line to where the ecu sits without a problem, but I'd wait to put the ECU in until the car is at mania. Considering the cost of tuning the car, unplugging the old ecu and plugging in the wolf wont be a problem. As for the cams, they wont take too long to fit

Yeah, good point, sometimes i really have to resist the urge to DIY

Booked in for Cams on the 21st of March

... gawd mania is busy, they are booked about a month ahead!

[Jeo]

They aren't busy, just don't like you...

Or don't feel like installing cams

[daffyflyer]

Well, after the first hour or so of my driver training day at wakefield with 5th gear motorsports (very good btw!), the rear half moon sump seal did something bad and dumped oil everywhere...

Bit of a waste of a good driver training day, but oh well.


Its sitting at carco at the moment, am borrowing $2k and getting them to fix the seal, fix all the other leaks, install and tune the wolf, and install adjustable cam gears

I'm biased, but Montego Blue FTW!

[daffyflyer]

That does look quite nice, a bit too green for me though..

I also like that brighter metalic blue that mazda 3s are oft seen in.

[daffyflyer]

Ah well, after carco finishes fixing it im going to spend the next year or 2 saving up $12k or so for turbo, paint and a general refresh of all the suspension etc.

[CheyneX5]

You do realise for that money you could buy a mx5 with all that work done to it already?

Yeah, but it would be the wrong colour, would have the wrong wheels, the wrong seats, etc. etc.


Its a horrible waste of money, but i want my dream car

[hks_kansei]

look at Twilight blue, pretty much the same tone as Montego but with blue/grey tones rather than green.

[Fuzzlet]

Man that car really is cursed! I used to say the same things, spent all the money, and now have ended up with an SE instead haha

Nah, i think everyone who owns it is just a bit odd in the head...
