Driving well, low rev lean afr's seems to of disappeared also. My friend at Kam racing has a sports exhaust for a mk3 mx5 made by scorpion which I may look into.

Every time I go to Tapatalk to view this thread, I am reminded of my abnormally sized head. Thanks Jamie

This car is doing my head in now. Since changing the box there's a knocking noise from the front now at low rpm.
The rear arb is knocking - powerflex bushes are wrong size! Not deep enough. I've emailed them.
The exhaust isn't sitting right., pulling to one side on back box.
Going to do a full bolt check all round and see if the arb links have died

Ppf alignment?

Rear arb link is dead. One problem pinpointed.
Did a bolt check on the front and all seemed OK. Knocking still there. Need to jack it up and check a few bits.
Ppf looked OK.
Pulled the middle silencer about a bit and the back box is sitting better.
Might take it up the hill climb Sunday at Prescott if I'm allowed

Might see you there Paul,

The MAC Shelsley membership allows us to get in at Prescott, and its not a million miles from home.

See what FIL is doing, I know there's an event on, I cant remember whether he fancied Shelsley or Prescott.

Might see you there then

Possibly my favourite venue I've been to

I'm contemplating buying this and modifying the back box to fit.
Has any one got a rx8 back box lying about they could measure please? Need the measurements between tail pipes
