Sorry the silly photobucket filled up so I had to clear out the largest folder of pictures which was my MX5 swap, I still have them if you need them, I can email them to you?

Here are some of the pictures I have uploaded to a new account for people needing a visual reference. Spoke to the new owner who bought the car after I sold it and after changing spark plugs to a N/A variant the car ran like a proper rotary so I guess my hard luck is me selling it and the one rotor issue being spark plugs after all.

Glad to hear the spark issue was addressed, sorry to hear it was only after you sold it. Watching the build progress was amazing, thanks for sharing the build!

Yea its was a great build to learn from sadly there are a whole heap of things I would do differently in hind sight like getting a bloody proper ECU. I do miss that car but at the same time I would want to do it again properly from the get go. So while I sold the old swapped one I will redo it again at some point in time when funds allow.

How is your build going Wildman923?

Well into my "spring iteration" which consists of engine rebuild, intercooler upgrade, exhaust upgrade to full 3", and switching over to direct fire using ls2/truck coils. Figure these few upgrades should help it breath a bit better.
