Oh ok! Lots then. I welcome advice or criticism whenever applicable. It'll never be another mint car with an uncluttered build thread. Cars are fun because of the community and friends which entail them. Having said that - I'm itching for a drive, it's been months!

Today's efforts involved in getting soaked towing out an astina from the back yard.
(I've owned 15 now...not one has come out alive...)
If anyone needs any info about them I know a little bit.

Test fitted the carbon plate ready to drill and epoxy the studs on. My mate who's making this has all the fancy stufd at work to do such things. Hoping to get more bits and pieces made over the coming months.

I'm also reading/watching

I know what you mean about itching for a drive. Drove mine today for the first time in over 12 months. Was very satisfying. Now I just want more time so I can just drive.

I've been sidetracked with the 323 but slowly making progress with the mx5.

Got my rear hub bearings and cvs reconditioned as one was crunchy and one cv was slightly torn.

My coilovers arrived also!

Once the 323 is complete and sold off I'll have a chance to put the coilovers, brakes and wheels on.

Also bought the GPS receiver in anticipation for track logging. Need to buy gauges and Mac valve. $$

Well the Astina is done and gone finally. Super happy to finish it and with the result! Forgot how they can be a go-kart too.

Regarding the mx5 I've ordered fuel stuff yesterday so hopefully I'll have everything I need on that front. (Bits and pieces from FM e85 fuel kit) the exchange rate hurt!

Working 2 jobs so I'm time poor but means I can save a few more $$ to pay for a few more pieces. Need to buy gauges!

When I looked at good gauges I could buy a digital dash for about the same money!

What ECU are you using again?

Adaptronic 440D

If you have an adaptronic ECU you could look at http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=863300#p863300. Does logging as well so no need to duplicate sensors and has support on the forum!

There are a number of dashes that are compitable with the adaptronic over the serial connection.

I forget which now but there were linked on the website previously.

The astina lives!!
Should be seeing more frequent updates on the malibu now eh?

Thanks guys. Adaptrackit looks interesting! I will do some more reading. I suspect once I get back from volunteering at schoolies I'll have some more time for this forgotten malibu.
