Glad to do what I could with what was there, would have done the Front Crank Seal as well but that will be done later as we didn't have a new one to put in :wink:
Plenty of time for a Christmas Run Ash, what's up with your 5? I didn't see any posts recently about it ??
And hey, were you all standing around munching on Steve's Jaffa's before I got there ? :mrgreen:

And 'Double Thumbs Up' to Steve for giving spins to show what a Turbo'd Mx5 feels like !! :thumright:

Nothing really wrong with it, not taxed now for winter is all. Had issues with insuring it during the summer, then by the time that was sorted I only taxed for 3 months and summer was over before it started. Didn't get to any runs this year.
Plan is to get a lot of work done over winter now I have a nice big garage to play around in.

rhysmate, thanks for the loan of the usb->serial cable + driver.
Installed the driver and funnily enough couldn't get it working with your cable but it now works with mine.
ECU now talking to my netbook, just need to find the time to get some tuning done now.

Will see what the headroom on the injectors is like when I've upped the timing and leaned it out as far as I can.
