B6 did have a lightened crank to allow it to rev higher. Me wrong, you right.

Cheers and good luck with the car!

they bolt onto main housing behind seats Gav, I'll check again though to make sure after I get a cuppa! coffee...coffee....

Oh snap, I just checked the price of a proper cams approved roll bar. $799!

It looks the goods though, but no bling. At least your head won't separate from your body with it though.

Gav.

hey buddy, even the in-the-knows over @ MX5 Miata Forum aren't even savvy about the engine differences so, info isn't really flowing thick n hard. How were you to know?

Apparently the B6T has stronger valve springs & obviously, sronger rods so, it gets a bit deep really

hey, the Intake Manifold runners are pretty huge on the MX! Bit like the Boxy Plenum runners. She just needs a little hairdryer....just a little maybe? hehe

Seriously, it has positive, non-power steering, no A/Con etc. They kept them the basic little sports car I suppose. I think a turbo would defeat the purpose? Bloody noooice though?

Gav, promise I'll take some snaps tomorrow & stick em up when I wack new wheels on OK? That's if the young toss stops friggin me around with pic up time. About to tell him to keep wheels

is that like the 4 TB as in the 20V engines? Gav shot me a pic of a set on EBay. Bit pricey though?

project.r.racing · 24-10-2009, 06:12 PM

which p platers excel did you steel them off? very shiney.

chicaboo · 24-10-2009, 06:19 PM

The car is looking great. But where chrome sets off well against red paint, I'm not a fan of those wheels.

Does the car feel slower with those wheels on? Get yourself some slips on seat-covers and tinted windows and you're done.

Gav.

NaughtyGT · 24-10-2009, 06:25 PM

EXCEL???????????? oh the disgrace, what an insult............

hehe

Gav, I kneeeeeeeew you'd comment on the chrome! I luuuuuuuuvs chrome. I was born with a chrome tockle

The car actually drives far far better & they give a softer ride, figure? The other tyre profile sucked!

Wheels are in such good nick I couldn't believe it! 205/40/17's on em. Only mark is the slight edge in close-up photo.....bugger all!

Rupewrecht · 24-10-2009, 06:30 PM

Nah, Excels are 4x114.3

project.r.racing · 24-10-2009, 06:33 PM

those are multi fit rims under those caps.

i was in love with those rims in 2003 when i was looking for new rims. saw a set on a gemini and fell instantly in love.

chicaboo · 24-10-2009, 06:39 PM

I looked at an EK VTiR Shivikoo recently, and the guy who was selling it had those rims on his SAAB convertible. Except his were branded Enkei.

Rupewrecht · 24-10-2009, 07:18 PM

Enkei G-Zeros were what they were originally. Those were the (terrible, terrible) days

marcs_sp20 · 24-10-2009, 08:11 PM
