Hello All,

Lurked for a long time so I thought I'd post.

Got a very early red Mk1 Jap import. Done some mods to it. Detail below.

Suspension and Handling

Refurbed 15” E30 BBS then decided I didn’t like them and got 14” Watanabe
Meister R Sportive suspension (more potholes than road where I am)
WIM Fast Road alignment
Polybushed ARB and drop links
NS2R
Mintex m1144 pads
Millers Racing brake fluid

Engine and exhaust

Cam cover painted and gasket replaced with genuine Mazda item
New coolant temp sensor
New pcv valve
Stoney Racing Silicone Hoses
JDM Ultra 8mm HT Leads
NGK Plugs
Standard airbox with K&N panel filter and DIY Randal cowl intake
ME221
AFM Delete
GM IAT
Blink Race spec cylinder head
Kent reprofiled cams
Rebuilt Long-nose bottom end
Jasma 4-2-1 manifold
Decat
RS Factory N-Zero 2 exhaust
Suzuki cappuccino washer bottle relocation
Lightweight Flywheel
Standard injectors cleaned and flow tested all seals replaced
M2 Alloy radiator
IL motorsport engine mounts
Mishimoto sandwich plate
HKS oil filter

Interior

Mostly standard
Nardi wheel
various trim removed
Voodoo shift knob
rebuilt shifter
Centre console delete
Stack mechanical oil pressure gauge

Exterior
Fibreglass front wings
Hardtop with Jass fixed brackets
TSI from moss
Stickers.
GC fab roll bar
GC fab strut bar

Starting some more interesting mods in the next weeks and months. Got a GCF roll bar and ECU to go in, but time and other priorities tend to get in the way of progress.

Lessons have been learnt (30 year old cars definitely have some interesting history and rust) but all in all good fun. I also have a 3d printing connection so will hopefully get some more interesting bits made in the future.

Pics to follow once I find some and figure out how to do it.

How do you find the NS-2Rs BTW?

I've been remarkably surprised by them in inclement weather, given how little tread they have, but I find they are a bit 'square-shouldered' and turn-in can perhaps be a bit more 'binary' than a rounder-shoulder tyre, if that makes sense??

They are a damn sight better than ditch-finders they replaced. According to my local garage they were 'quite Canoeed'. Pretty sure they were the tyres I got when they were on it and they were well past it.

Also fitted refurbed injectors with new oem seals. The old ones where filthy. The old seals were welded to the inlet manifold were rear canoe to remove.

Definitely runs good and no subtle injector tick anymore.

I re fitted a better cowl air feed ducting. Silicone rather than card/paper ducting.

A word on HT leads, I'm a sucker for JDM bits. I find some brand new boxed 'ULTRA power plug leads'.

They crap all over the Jackson racing leads I had originally. They never seemed to seat well and went quite rigid after a while.

The ultra leads have very robust connectors and and seem to vacuum suction onto the plug.

I believe racing beat also make them.

I have a used set knocking about.

The packaging has lots of interesting diagrams and graphs on it.

Looks really nice I will probably paint it black for added oem-ness.

Dumb question, I'm sure, but...

What's the benefit of an AFM delete? Does the engine not need to know what air it's getting?? lol

You can't just remove the AFM but you can if you have mappable ecu and Iat sensor. It's a more up to date and less restrictive solution.

Ah, cool, I thought so - I was confused because the list in the OP doesn't mention an aftermarket ECU!

I did just re-read and notice the new part was 3D printed, though - that's pretty cool

Is it metal or plastic??
