Quote from: Archbish;506583Cheers chaps!! Aye - it\'s going well, one of the advantages of not having a deadline is you can enjoy doing it!!

Tis going to be Mazda Stormy Blue Mica in colour, and thinking of Lenso KR5 17" wheels. Should look pretty awesome.... *grin*

your painting it in the same colour as mine LOL - paint is awesome when the sun is out...

Looking fab. It will be a quick little brute. The FB seems to be a whole lot of fun without a whole lot of HP !

Very nice mate !!!!!!

antnicuk · June 10, 2008, 12:39:54 PM

you are ahead of me bish, well done.

What manifold did you use for the turbo?

Archbish · June 10, 2008, 12:52:55 PM

Don\'t worry, there\'s plenty for you to catch up on!! *grin*

I bought the manifold from \'Steve\' on Ausrotary. It\'s specifically for a T04 turbo on a 13bT in a 1st gen - reasonably priced compared to what it would cost to get made up over here...

Is that mazda colour the loght blue you see on MX5s?

I see you have raised the bar by the way. Gauntlet is down eh? Right, bigger turbo, more porting, nitrous......

Archbish · June 11, 2008, 08:03:24 PM

nope, it\'s the very dark blue one. The engine bay is actually that colour (only in matt - I\'m not sanding THAT ****!!), but yet to do the rest of the car - as you can see *grin*

As for the bar, let me start the damned thing first!! The bar may well be set next year, but you need to bear 2 things in mind:
1 - I\'ve never done anything on this scale before
2 - it\'s a budget, so the components may well become the total of their ripoff parts... *lol*

Am gonna be very interested to see what the outcome is tho...

have you wired the ecu, thats my job for next week, that incorperated with a complete new universal loom is stretching my technical abilities.

How much was the manifold?

Archbish · June 12, 2008, 07:02:01 AM

Haven\'t even BOUGHT the ECU, let alone wired it!! *grin*

Which universal loom have you gone for? I got one from the hoffman group, and each wire is labelled along it\'s length, which will hopefully make life a LOT easier...

The manifold was $300AUS delivered, and looks like a good bit of kit.

antnicuk · June 12, 2008, 10:38:30 AM

could you let me have details of where you got the mani and turbo from, links etc?
antnicuk@msn.com
i used one specific to lotus 7 kit car, which isnt labelled

but is easy enough to do.

my loom just does the basics, lights indicator etc. why did you need a new loom.?
