Pretty excited by this prospect, just sharing

Good to see you're still moving forwards :D Cheers mate. just taking time and money currently. this 5s malarky is just loads of conflicting information. goal is to get my 5s back on the road by summer. got a few months to get it done so im confident :-)

You don't fancy going with some more aggressive cams?

looking at some BC 264's currently. would like to keep it non interference. Any recommendations?

Well i picked up my 5S block/crank last week. Started stripping it. apart from being covered in grime/oil/cobwebs its stock/solid, so I'm more than happy: https://i.imgur.com/IMMImYq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/v7fKWf4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GcBk3jQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qZNSaKo.jpg https://i.imgur.c...

picked up my 5s block. cant wait to get going. taking it over to Nathan Freke's recommended machinist for bore/hone/deck in a few weeks.

Made 354lbs. Ah yeah I am very tempted by a boot mount!! Saves a lot of f*cking about. I've done absolutely nothing to the car lately. It's sat at my friends garage :( I'd sell it today if it was 100% sorted but it needs some work and I'd be costing myself a lot by not sorting the issues first. Nam...

Ah so you do man! I need to use the site more! I had a 480bhp 335i and my mr2 would leave it standing still! I think next year I'm gonna go to a smaller turbo :) Deffo sounds like the injector's been your issue man :( haha i need that sort of power Ryan. well i had a friend message me last night ab...

Oh wow man! Yeah 18psi on a ct20 is just too much. At that pressure it just blowing roasting hot air into a 20+ year old engine. Something has to give at some point I guess eh? To be completely truthful if I was to do my build again I'd probably just stick forged pistons in it, Go with a TD05 turbo...

Yeah 29psi. CR is 9:01 (although sure it's 8:5 with a 1.2mm head gasket) The issue has been not retorquing the head bolts. I did check the torque after running it in but forgot to check it after being mapped and running full boost. Lesson learned! That's the engine back in with new head gasket and ...

Havent posted for a while as I've been doing a lot on the new house and buying parts for my 2nd engine.... For the best it turns out. Well my 2nd gen engine decided 18 psi was too much. https://i.imgur.com/lvTXUjf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DA4IVGz.jpg Got the car home after blowing it up on the Motorw...

i missed it due to a re-re-re-re arranged stag do. which ended up not happening on the weekend.. typical.

will be going next time as its relatively local to me.

Contacted carbotech Europe direct. I'll update on their performance once installed/tested

As to where from and model number, sorry, not a clue. Had them for years, my car just never gets used

No worries, but good to hear 1st hand experience.

I wasnt sure on rev differences with brakes, but i think rev 1 are smaller?

Where did you get your Carbotechs from? and any clue on the model number?

Ive currently got some cheap pads on the mr2 and i want to upgrade. i was considering some Wilwoods (do a full brake upgrade) but the postage costs etc put me off. I read a lot about carbotech pads. Are these still decent? this will be ran on a fast road car used occasionally on track. (currently 30...

lovely car. ive messaged a friend whose been looking for a 2.. so ill let you know asap JD.

My friends just had meister r on his mx5 and he said it's perfect for the roads. So I'm looking at these. He said it's the perfect combo of street ride and still has performance for spirited cornering What Spring rate are you looking at? Are you lowering your car? Not 100% yet. And yes I'm on cut a...
