To make my mx a little more circuit-ready, I got something nice from the states:
Front crossmember! :P
I also bought a set of mx5 front seats. I'm going to try to get these to fit. If I manage to do so, I can get me a new set of leather ones! :P
That way I wont keep hitting the roof of the car when getting in and out.. :DAndlast but not least, My FINAL chip is on its way! xD
-
w00t, SRD crossbar is on its way and I ordered a nice new set of HT ignition leads from the FPS.
With a little luck i might have something alse coming too, wich kinda improves performance on the circuit:
Carbon hood! :P Lot less weight and some more cool air in the enginebay.I am also thinking of taking out the rear seats. I hardly ever use them and it kinda reduces weight a little. Then I can move the audio to the front and be able to get to my spare wheel again.
And i recieved the new chip! :P So need to put that in the next couple of days too!
To-do for now:
- SRD crossbar
- Replace leads
- Put in EBC brakepads
- fit MX5 seats
- Fit the chip
- Change rear seats/trunk
- Hood?

If you find a carbon supplier your end give us a link as ive been on the look for a while but dont want to import from the U.S rather go to france or germany, fit part there and drive home straight through customs!!.

I will jump in on that if thats okay??
-
I was going for second hand, since I only have about 215 to spend on it..
-
DOH!
-
w00t! Package from the states got delivered! :P
-
whats that then, wideband ?
-
ye-yeah! :P

Well, I installed the A/F meter yesterday.
Still running a little lean. WOT around 14.0-14.1:1 where it should have been around 13.2:1.
Think this is caused by the fuel pump. KLZE requires more flow and my old (19 years / 230000 km) cant really deliver that much anymore.
I also noticed that the fuel pressure doesn't really effect the a/f ratio.
I already read about it online, but now it shows that the ecu still corrects itself, or rather the injectors, at WOT (and closed loop).
It still uses the full WOT fuel pressure, but corrects the flow through the injectors.Soooooo, ordered a Walbro 255lph.. :P More soon!
-
lean!, thats weird most run rich. :?
looks brilliant hope you make it to japfest 2011
-
Noticed I was a little shy on updates, so here goes! :P
Done since last:
- EBC Ultimax brakepads front and rear (Pretty decent brakepads!)
- SRD Crossmember front
- Performance crossmember rear
- Walbro 255lph fuelpump
Because of the walbro I was able to put the fuelpressure back from 4Bar to 3Bar and has the WOT A/F ratio gone from 14,5 to the ideal 13,2.
Going to dyno on the 12th, so really anxious for the results!
My theory: I had 189BHP on the last run with a crappoor lean running engine. Now with the walbro i really NOTICE a difference. First gear full WOT is a definite no-go, so it should turn up as some significant horsies.I also ordered a tacho, since mine doesn't do crap. It's one of those big-ass Type-R versions.. :lol: :roll:
I've been searching for a nice set of wheels with track tires, but decided to stick with my 17" wheels and these tires:
I don't do that much miles and going to do tracktime twice this year, so these tires should be good enough to keep driving for at least a couple of years.
-
Really love those wheels. This has gotta be one of my favourinte 3's on here, subtle but deadly :p
-
Like them tyres, what are they?
-
First of all, nice MX-3. Lovely work.
Interesting that you use KL02 VAF along with the ZE. Are you also using the K8 ECU? It would be interesting if you could compare KL36/31/Probinator and JE 50 versus K8 and KL02 at the dyno.. I've always wondered which combo who suits the Curved Neck KLZE best. I've tested all these and i.m.o K8 and KL02 feels best.

Combi kl-02vaf, kl-02ecu with de chip and de fuelmaps did 189 bhp. Running rediculously lean.. 12th of march next run with same setup but instead of de fuelmaps the ze ones on the de chip, walbro pump and running the perferct 13.2 a/f @ wot. I'm willing to try different setups, but dyno shops here ask around 80gbp per run….. So if i get even a little more than last time, i'm happy..
-
£80 :o That's robbery. And I thought we had it bad here at £50 per 2 runs…
Thumbs up for the wideband, they really are invaluable. Good luck with the next dyno.
-
lol yeah, wideband.. Dont leave home without it.. ;) still need to get a good pod for it though..
-
So, just had a nice little trip with our daily Twingo in order to get the mx circuit ready! :P
At first I wanted to order those new semis, but they are unfortunately no longer in production. Through a supplier I came across a set of 15 " 1xused HANKOOK semi slicks! :P Without wheels though.
Through the internet I now have a set of 7.5j, et 37 MOMO wheels, which I immediately dropped off at the shop.. So I'll be picking them up next week! :P
Only little problem now is that I can only put them on at the track, because they make me sit about 3cm lower than with the 17" and with the 17 I at some points have only a 6 cm clearance under the car.
But hey, bag em, and in the trunk they go.. :P Jack and wrench along and off I goooo! :lol:
I'll try to take a picture on monday. Will not be very spectacular, since the rims aren't so neat anymore, but still .. ;)
-
Decals been put on today! :P Not to happy about the alignment of one of the 8's, but looking good enough for now! Also took out the rear seats so the trackwheels fit in. :P Have a big car event tomorrow at the TT Circuit Assen, so here's a starter pic, more tomorrow.. ;)
