MX-5 NC with RX-8 231 Engine

Dutch grazy scientist Kees Hoebeke made similar swap to his Miata. I reckon he might know the answer to your dilema...

I think he used the mx5 dsc/abs pump. Something I should of done

[Mr Spiller]

I have contemplated whether it's the tracking. When they did it last, I wasn't too certain he was doing it right. I need to go back to wheels in motion and for the guy who runs it this time

Easy enough to check with string line and spirt level to see if all sides are equal .
Have you driven it loads and got the dsc kicking in multiple times to see if it could right itself ?
Has this always happened or just since you changed the rear bushes ?

It's only happened since putting the rx8 dsc system into the mx5.

Question for Jamie. R I've bought one of these. What's the best way to stick it on

Upol tiger seal imo.
Used it to put a sim spoiler on an rx8...

Ah, i cheated a bit as i made my own and moulded in my own captive bobbins / lotocones through holes i already drilled in the bootlid.

Are there any provisions for a mechanical fixing?

If not try chemical adhesion as jon recomended just get it in the right place.

Another option is VHB tape by 3M.....we use it at work. its like double sides sticky tape, but its immensley strong, they used it to mount some double glazing to a hotel in Saudi about 20 years ago

[Paul_13]

Thanks for the tips. Might go for the 3m stuff. Will be easier to remove in the long run

[Jamie R]

Line it all up coz once it’s on it’s on.

Need to clean the car next

[Jamie R]

Did it come with any  cleaning wipes ?

[Paul_13]

Nope

[Paul_13]

Tracking booked in for next weekend at wheels in motion

[Paul_13]

What would you recommend cleaning the paintwork with before sticking the adhesive tape on?

[Paul_13]

Forgot it was white!

[Jamie R]

No idea, as long as it's dust free without any residue from cleaning it should be fine

One of the kids toilet wipes lol
