MX-5 NC with RX-8 231 Engine

I fitted a dB reducer from jetex into the mid pipe. Despite all the naysayers - it has worked nicely and reduced the mid /low range drone. I've got a proprietary joiner to install.

Good news, the fire ring I used on the toyosport manifold sealed perfectly.

When you installed the steering rack did it fit straight up to the mx5 hubs?

It should bolt straight up yes. I used the rx8 hubs though due to the abs sensors

I will try get under the car tomorrow and get it bolted up, maybe my wheels aren't level as the rack seems wider

I can't unsee that now

Nice bushes though

Paul_13 · February 20, 2020, 09:38:37 PM

All bushes are now in. Wasn't too bad of a job, trying to fabricate a press tool was probably the hardest bit.
Managed to slip a pair of spanners and whacked myself in the face with them. Some how managed to pop the lense out of my glasses, luckily they've gone back together!
Test drive to work tomorrow morning. Will be interesting to see if the DSC kicks in like before when turning a corner normally in

Fingers x sorted the dsc issue.

Still doing it. Oh well. Need to get tracking done again.
Need to get a DA polisher as I've majorly f*cked the paint work on this car. My mate Greig has given me some swirl remover which I need to start chipping away at.

I know youve checked all readings on mazda edit etc..is it worth pulling abs and dsc fuses...so system is off and trying to rule out a mechanical problem and confirm dsc is cutting in...ive had it on a rx8 with cheapo tyres its not very nice.
