Eunos/Miata 1.8 na8c Drift, slow progress

Dude Get Some More Pics Up!

So, there hasnt been much update wise since i last updated, havent realy had chance with work ect ect.
i have how ever manager to do a few bits,
i found a forsale thread on an mx5 fourm with a bloke giving away a 1.8 bottom end and crank, so i snatched them up :thumbs:
going to build another engine to go in the eunos of love,
will take a while but should be worth it with the plans ive got for it :smokin:
got it home and gave it a clean and a paint


excuse the bad pics my camra has packed up so ive only got my crackberry to take pics on.

Old one comes off




New homebrewd special goes on




Took pretty much all day to do as had to weld new mounting points on and made TOTALY from scratch.
we made it as strait as possible with 2 and a half inch pipe frome the down pipe. sounds alot better than standard :wack: might bother a few people though.
ive done a few other bits n bobs, stickers, drifty handbrake ect, will try n make some more progress
im happy with it anyway.
going to cut out my bumper abit more though

at least im not the only person with an mx5 on TOA now

can we be expecting high comp or low comp internals for the 1.8 block?
good progress

90% of my is saying go with a High comp NA
but 10% of me is saying go low comp boost
as it stands at the moment im looking into bike throttle bodys

a few small updates done now.
picked up these the other night,
need to find out the correct torque settings for the bolts round the outside though before they go on.





also got a good friend of mine to make me a new knob




not much else has gone one other than...sticker bomb! lols Some of the stickers didnt take very well as you can see so taken some off,
will have to re doo soon though


i get abit out of hand with stickers need to watch it.

and took a random pic of my engine because im just that sad

Sweeeeeet I'm liking this man!

that is one siiik ass ride man!

SOOO, i havent updated in a while, since my last post ive been thinking about breaking the car for parts and getting a sbody, but after alot of thought ive decided to keep the lil mx and go balls out on it, in a way they are lil modern AE86's lol
first of all to sort was my deglect through the winter so set about changeing the plugs, oil and rocker gasket.
there was oil all over the plugs hence the rocker gasket change (was realy brittle and fookd (pic below)
oil pressure on my gauge has gone down which is abit conserning but ill see what happens.
so i thought id post up afew pics of the mx and the "small" list of things to come to get it ready for the summer.-





Ringys To-Do list in no order

oil and long reach spark plugs (DONE)
pads and discs

Got woke up by the postman this moring :yes:

he brought me this





i realy should be sorting the altonator out but i carnt help myself.
carnt decide on carbs or ITB's
probs wont go carbs though more hassle

carbs are so hard to tune and most often need re-tuning every so often, definitely throttle bodies dude

have you ordered any wheels yet

sweet, will sound awsome with TB's on
