![]() Sounds about right. I had 15" G60 wheels on it originally but wanted 13" for more comfort and also to be able to fit stickier tyres at a lower cost.
They fit over the MX5 running gear fine. Cheers Stot

![]() 10 years on and it still needs tinkering. I did the head gasket, cam seals and water pump this week chasing a couple of leaks.
![]() Also the turbo burnt through my bonnet heat shielding, so a new method was needed short term... ![]() Which actually worked amazingly well! But I have upgraded to a blanket. ![]() Maybe see some of you at Malvern. Cheers Stot

![]() Well there is always something to do.
![]() For example, I fancied a boost gauge then remembered I don't do anything simple like 'buy' a boost guage, so ended up buying an ESP32 dev board with a round screen and coding myself up this to connect to my Megasquirt. ![]() Click for a video. Shows boost, vac, Coolant temp, AFR, Advance and has indicators for Warm up enrichment, Afterstart enrichment, Table switch status and Launch control status. ![]() I added a passthrough mode too so I can connect my phone to it via wifi and MSDroid can connect to the Megasquirt wirelessly for tuning on the go. Cheers Stot

![]() Well done - always thought you never did anything simple when complex would do.

![]() So in 2015 I purchased a brand new helical ATB LSD diff to fit to this car. 9 years later I decided to finish up and fit it.
Got to say getting an MX5 diff in and out of that cage in a built car was fun.... The 1.8 unit is much bigger than the 1.6. It wouldn't go in through the left or right of the cage at all but I just about managed to get it in through the top if I held it just the right way twisted it 22.3 degrees south and recited just the right four letter filled incantation. Its in and running though. Feels good so far, I think I notice a little difference in traction and when it lets go it feels like it comes in a bit smoother with more notice. Cheers Stot
