MX5 Builders - Group Buy

[PorkChop]

This thread is to see if any of the MX5 builders would be interested in joining in on a group buy for a coolant reroute spacer. I have spoken to the chap running the GB and he was happy for me to mention it on here. If the mods on this forum have any problem with me posting this GB, please feel free to get in touch/moderate the thread.

The MX5 engine has its coolant inlet and outlet on the front of the engine block/head, which results in relatively poor cooling of cylinders 3 and 4, dropping system efficiency. You can get coolant reroute kits from MX5 tuners (e.g. http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?...0%20%201990-93 ). As the coolant system on a Roadster can be tightly confined, improving the cooling efficiency would be a good thing IMO, especially if doing track day work, or if you have (or planning to have) a charged/tuned MX5 lump.

There is a group buy on MX5Nutz at the moment for the rear spacer needed for the foundation of a reroute kit. The best way for me to explain it (and what else would be required in addition to this spacer) is to put this link in - http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89997

Please note that extra parts and work will be required in addition to this spacer to have a complete reroute. It's suitable for mark 1 1.6 and 1.8 lumps, and mark 2 engines with extra modification.

Estimated cost ATM is approx £65 each, but is likely to decrease if 20 people sign up (I think there's 11 ATM). The GB thread is here - http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99220

The GB thread link also contains insights from MX5 owners on these spacers after they were fitted.

Just thought it might be handy for some on here - the chap has done this GB before, but reckons that this will be the last one.

Cheers
