From what I've heard on other forums you are the one supplying the information about the engines peak power so if you want 8k then that's what it is!
My peak power on my MX5 engine is going to be 3000 rpm - er - no I don't think I'll get away with that - so as long as it half sensible .........

yeah i thought that but i would like to let a good bit of cold air in, im thinking foam filter sticking through a hole in the bonnet, then ive not got to mess around with a scoop or anything, just cut a neat hole in the bonnet

yeah that sounds good, I'm going to get it mapped so will see where it gives peak power :D

Not many photos tonight but it doesn't mean I've not been busy, got my driveshafts from j&r on eBay greased, built up and fitted

Got a type 054 battery, think it's going in the passenger footwell behind a foot rest, so made the foot rest fit and made a strap out of stainless





This will bolt through the floor from underneath, all bits need a bit of padding here and there



Then spent most of Sunday drawing and deciding how to do my air filter

First try was with a k&n filter but looks to big,

Next is to suit an itg sausage filter over the top, this is what I'm going to do, I've got to make a new fuel rail and a base plate





Std injectors which will fit in the new rail/bracket



This method seems the simplest, easy to make, most compact and uses an off the shelf air filter

Well got all my anodizing back today, looks sweet



Gear shifter



Roll cage bungs, I admit I got carried away with these, but I do love it! Made a bit of a logo with my initials

Brake tags bonded and riveted on (I spoke to the tech iva man at the dvla about this and he said it's fine as long as there secure) also got all my brake pipes back on tonight, I just need to rivet the p clips on





Rad brackets fixed on and fan fitted



Brake res fitted

My air trumpets turned up yesterday so now I have 4 short ones



Started the fuel rail bracket



Back plate drawn up



Just need to order one of these filters

Well finished my fuel rail bracket off tonight, just got to make a few bosses for it



Then onto the handbrake cables, I thought this would be an easy job but it wasn't, the cables weren't really long enough and not sitting nicely, I was ready to leave it for tonight then I thought about making some exstention tubes



The cables are a snug fit in the tubes and locate on 50mm also it stops them from rubbing on the diff

I just need to make a couple of brackets to hold the cables in place off the wishbone bolts



I've removed the adjuster from the cable but I will still have adjustment on the cable end fitting as it has grub screws in

Don't be tempted to have a "few" notch handbrake as you don't get leverage to give you good brake force,4-5 notches is good .

Nice build .
