Yesterday was a glorious day.
Managed to get the day off with my old man to get the car running again. It all went surprisingly well with only a few minor hiccups.
We replaced the water pump pulley, harmonic damper, inner cam belt pulley, crankshaft oil seal, camshaft oil seals, cam belt, tensioners and the woodruff key.
I now have a smooth running engine with no nasty wobbles or leaks.
It's now just a case of saving up for some wheels and the hard top then it'll make an appearance for summer 2014.
Apologies for the lack of pictures of the work itself, Dad would've called me saft and I tend to just get stuck in. I'll give the car a clean at the weekend and take some better pics.

So I've been saving up for a BMW E46 coupe recently and have been incredibly disciplined, haven't touched a penny of the saving fund.
However, I was offered a complete TD04 turbo conversion last night at a price I would be daft to refuse. So boost is happening sooner than expected.
I'll mock the system up on my spare engine at home and see what goes where etc. I'll probably need to upgrade the clutch, diff and brakes before I can think about fitting the kit so it won't be happening any time soon. But it's progress non the less. Pics when I receive the goodies 
Tom.

Haha the diff is a grey area, some guys run 300bhp through their standard 1.6 diff others have blown up at 180bhp. In an ideal world I'll have a 1.8 diff and shafts with an uprated clutch. But I'll push my luck with the standard items for now.
Get the S14a on the road you slag.

The 1.6 diff and shafts won't last 10 minutes with around 200bhp worth of boost.
Even Dan was going to upgrade to 1.8 diff and shafts and as you know he had the mental clutch to go in, and he runs a lot less rear grip than you due to the neg camber.
Boost plus grip = bye bye tiny mx5 diff lol

Just to keep the topic alive...
It's been a busy few months and sadly the mx5 hasn't had any attention.
But with the recent fair weather we've had I've been missing the little car quite a bit.
I bought this a few months ago and it's been keeping me busy / skint ever since!
But I've still been to visit this and start it up every month.
Also been busy building this for the 2015 rally season
Plans are still unchanged, however priorities have. I'd like to get some wheels and a hard top sorted for the Mazda soon, put the BMW away for winter and use the mx5. I'll inevitably decide to sell the 330 soon as it's not really my cup of tea. Goes like stink and it is really smart but I like my older stuff. I'll then have a few k to chuck at the mx5 
Oh and there's a bike test inbetween all of that.

What you need is a really old school 5 series. I just happen to know someone that has one. Platinum green, all the mod cons. Excellent cars!

I didn't realise you still had the MX5, I thought you sold it for the BMW!

Nooo, I couldn't sell it, sold my last one before I was happy with it and knew I'd regret doing it with this.

Given the fact that the BMW is no more, and my pay out won't be that great for it. I might have to sell the mx5 when I eventually get my pay out so I can buy an S14a.
Shame for both cars but I cant be arsed pouring money into the Mx5 when I really want an S14a.
