Nice work Ray... Where did you get the work done, and what cat did you use?

Thanks Broady

I got the work done at Performance Exhaust in Northmead

Not sure about the CAT but it's got a 200 cell cat (not sure of terminology). It's the type that doesn't disintegrate when things go wrong.

Haks knows his sh*t and has a great attention to detail - he complimented Mazda on making our cars so easy to work on LOL

Yeah I've heard super good things about him. I'm thinking of getting a new cat, as well as a resonated midpipe to quieten down my exhaust... might have to get in contact with him

I've been a tad busy lately but do have some updates - will take some pics when I have a free moment

In the meantime - I've kinda gotten sick of my MX5 looking like a remote control car because of the large black rubber antenna...

So I just got this delivered today from MX5Parts UK:

It's about 15cm and is MUCH shorter than the one I have right now

Hopefully a pic of my new seats and a video of my exhaust will be available to all in the next week or so

nice ride there Ray. I often see you on Victoria road as i live near gladesville. Could i ask how much it was to get the exhaust installed?

Hey mate,

Yeah, I rock an IS200 as a daily now and my MX5 hardly gets any action nowadays :cry:

I think it was about $400-500 from memory (which included a new high flow cat and welding)

Eitherway, it was a good deal and I'm very happy with his handywork

Cheers,

Made a short with my flip camera - sorry for the crappy sound, i think the echo in my garage is screwing with the audio.

Will do an outdoor attempt next

Sounds pretty raspy Ray... but more importantly how do YOU like it?

Come out on Sunday?

RaYmO · Postby **RaYmO** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 10:28 am

Raspiness doesn't kick in during daily duties in bumper to bumper traffic

Can't do Sunday unfortunately, I've got a photoshoot planned - Maybe next time?

I don't think the clip shows the true sound, i reckon it sounds better in person!

Battery died today and just dropped over battery world for a replacement Federal jobbie...

When I took it out, I was surprised to see that I was still rocking the original Panasonic OEM battery!

My car was manufactured in 1991 - so it's lasted all of 20 years... not a bad effort Panasonic!

Ray gotta meet up with you and have a look at the mx5! Catch up for a cruise some time?

Sounds good Ferni - late March is on the cards because I'll be moving house

How did you change the illumination color of your guages? My speedo has a dark patch at around 70-80km/h and its almost impossible to see at night, make it hard to make sure I"m not over the speed limit. Is there something behind the guage that lights it up?

I have checked the instrument illumination dial and its maxed out.
