As you can see a nice Walbro 255lph RX7 GSS342 33911-3 fuel pump. All i need now is the plug for the sender lol
No worries
There's a small chance I might still have the plug, I'll have a root through all the crap I cut out of my loom and see if I can spot it.


UPDATE: I had a look through my box of MX5 wiring this evening and couldn't find it
Have you tried the MX5Nutz forum?

Will see if i can find one on the MX5 forum

Nosecone now split and repositioned. Looks quite mean i think need to work out what to do with the center grill bit to split the air between intercooler and radiator. Can now organize the radiator and intercooler now i know how much space i have.

Also decided to go for a 2mm steel floor welded rather than ally.

Anyone see it being a problem with having the seat runners welded to the cross bars but then the bars bolted to the chassis?

Pedal box fitted at last!!! Can do seats next and steering wheel. Custom full cage will be ariving next week. Will order radiator and intercooler next week also. Fuel tank should arive in a week or so. With any luck can get the thing running over the next month or so.

Has anyone got a spare Sierra steering column? Will be ditching the granada one.

(Rob and his new toy!)

Full cage just arrived from Scorpion Car Parts it looks great can’t wait to get it down to the garage and installed. Will upload some pics soon!

Might i also add that the customer service there is fantastic and has a brilliant price considering most of its design is custom! Full on cage with front and rear hoop rear braces, harness brace, and top braces. WOW is all i can say and the bends are fantastic no kinks at all.

Also getting a custom MX5 fuel tank from them as well yet again another smashing deal! HIGHLY recommend them!

Hi there,
Must say car looks stunning...
Do you plan to use it for track days or road use or both, which ever it's going to be a handful by the looks of it.
I see you have a balance bar on your brake pedal but I'm sure I read somewhere that you have to lock this off once set so it cannot be adjusted for the IVA, maybe wrong but I'm sure somebody knows.
Some amazing work you have done there, whats your plan for the rest of the body kit.

Keep up the good work and the photos coming.... Johno

Balance bar is ok with a lock nut and a pin, and a sticker stating not to adjust it.

I agree its going to be a hand full, my little zx9r engine can kick the back end out and its probably got about a 10th of the torque LOL. Make sure you've got plenty of travel on the loud pedal, thts how TVR used to do traction control

its going to be great! Just ordered a load more metal today to make the trunking area for the lines. Also more 20x20 box to build a strong frame for radiator and intercooler. Oh and some 50x25 box to make the seat section.

Steering column fitted WOOOOOOO.... But bit of a bugger as the extention is VERY close to the engine mount. How close do you guys think i can go? Or should i do what i have mocked up in the picture and follow the internal chassis rail then go upto the column?
