Is this a stock SE manifold/turbo/downpipe?

Manifold stock
Downpipe is basically stock with 100cell cat. Very basic mild steel 2.5in zorst.
Turbo is SE IHI with different wheel and ported wastegate.
12 psi

I guess it has given me some more top end power but sacrificed early spool.
However, driving around town you would never know.
I often shift early without hitting much boost anyway.
No idea about the torque.

Will see how it goes at Lakeside on Monday, to see if it pulls harder down the straights and up the hill.

Went for a drive to Gympie and back yesterday. (370km/28ltrs = 7.56 ltrs/100 with 166 kwatw)

Ticked over 125,000 km !
Original engine internals/clutch/body panels/paint/drive train/rear view mirror - changed just about every other bloody part :lol:

Nice numbers Stu on the fuel economy, and after three and a bit times around the globe to boot!

OMG
It has taken me a year to beat my PB from July last year.
Smashed my Lakeside PB time by 7 Hundredths of a Second!!!!!!
In the three dry runs today, consistent 64s with a mix of 63s.

Great photo but what's with the red wheels?

Are they the "black" 17" Racing Harts painted red? (assuming this based on the low sidewall and wheel arch gap).

haha

Large wheel gap is due to pulling 55thousand G whizzs in right hand corner
They are two of my 15 6ULs plastidipped red, then coated in Carbotech XP10

I thought you might suggest it was an awesomely hot lap

How's the plastidip holding up on the track?

Did the red Rims make you go faster?

After 133,000km and about 40 track days and dozen motokanas, time to replace this

That does not look like MX5 Plus workshop?

Correct.
Simple answer.
MX5 Plus is 40 min drive, then 2hr + on public transport to get home.

This workshop is ten minute walk from home.
But the Owner lives in my complex. So he drove the car there, and will bring it home for me. Simple.
(even though he races REXs I dont hold that against him)
