50K miles, deserved a bit of TLC

[jpc]

My standard 2000 RS hit 50k miles this week so I had all the little things sorted, paint touch-ups, belts replaced and a good service at WGT. Its not needed anything other than service items since new.

I thought it would be a good time to get the compression test done to see how much life there is left in it and put it on dyno.  

Compression was 7.0 +/0.1 on all rotors. Power was 265rwhp, 300-310 flywheel.

These cars are fantastic. I use it most days, even on the school run.

That is testament to a good build and clearly well looked after, great result, chuffed for you :Thumbs-up

Hopefully, many happy motoring miles left yet too :3gears-lh

Yes, that\'s me. The miata rotary conversion has had a fair bit more work done on it this year, new exhaust and more mapping. There is still room for improvement at high rpms so next project is to upgrade the ports. It\'s at 230bhp now, another 15-20 should be possible and then that\'s about as good as it can be.
