Another who's jumped ship from MX5Nutz. Lost my build thread and no faith in the new owners to fix anything. Dyno day today which prompted me to come here as i couldn't post my dyno plot to my build thread.

Anyway, I have a mk2.5 that i've been building as a fast road/track car. Nothing amazing, just maxing out the stock blocks capabilities for now and sorting wheels/rubber, damping, cooling and brakes for track work:

- Megasquirt MS3 ECU
- Flyin Miata exhaust side stuff inc full stainless exhaust
- Garrett GT2860RS (Disco Potato)
- RC Engineering 550cc Injectors
- Fab9 Intercooler

Dyno'd today on a Dyno Dynamics machine at 220whp (my target) at 11.8 psi - which equates to ~260bhp at the flywheel. Happy with the outcome - for now....

Yep it is - he's mainly doing Japanese stuff now, mainly Nissans still although he did have a twin turbo Chevy V8 Mini in his workshops. Yep, you read that right - old mini too!

He comes highly recommended, but I wouldn't imagine his work is cheap.

Yep, he's not cheap, but then he knows his stuff. He had a SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) at correcting my cold start and its now perfect - not bad considering that the engine coolant and oil temps were both at ~95 degs at the time.
