(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) It’s intercooler fitting time. Well almost. Got to make space for it first. It was bound to end up getting knocked around while trying to fit it so I did this as a bit of protection. After a fair bit of staring and moving […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Intercooler. What to do????? Google images was a good start and I looked at the universal intercoolers kits available. I was pretty sure over the radiator would be the best plan for me though. Less piping being the main reason so less hoses and clamps to […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) The tensioner plate needed a bit of tweaking to get it sitting right so the belt didn’t want to run off the idle pulley but once I’d got that aligned right and was happy it would work I tidied it up a bit so it looks […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) I read that a hot side supercharger setup like I am building can suffer surge on overrun and that is remedied with the use of a bypass valve just as you will find on the original setup of these superchargers on the BMW Mini. It basically […]

(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Jem and I wanted to do a trip around Cornwall and thought the Mazda would be perfect for that so we booked a trip staying in various different places for a few nights at the beginning of October. Unfortunately we had to postpone the trip and ended […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Time for a proper clean before our driving hols around Cornwall good to go!
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in January 2016) Jem and I planned a holiday around Cornwall for the beginning of October but had to postpone it until December. I took the opportunity to replace all the tyres with something a bit better than the ones it had, especially considering the few days in Cornwall, […]
