ebay, and yes screw straight up and just a few wires to the fender indicator for the mirror flasher and to the control unit to make the mirrors move up and down left and right.

Had a nice delivery from Oz. this morning, my adjustable wastegate bracket>
fits like a charm! Just the downpipe to make now and some more purchases, ie clutch and injectors and the kit is pretty much all there!

Had a quote for mapping the AEM piggyback of just under £400, so that's another expense to be factor in to the conversion, will be seriously looking into a street tune though using the laptop maybe depending on how difficult it looks to do.

Haha I knew would see it eventually. Im going to stick with the 215/40's and add just a flick of negative camber just so that tread
pattern tucks under the arch and with another -10mm off the coilovers I think she will be there :D

Tires are coming off the weekend then the wheels can be prepped for some refurb edges and paint!

3SGE 315cc Toyota MR2 pink top injectors bought. Part no. 23250-74080.
Will want them to go for an ultrasonic clean before installing though. They are plug & play on the Miata, so here's hoping!

Sam they should be plug and play since your car is B6DE you should already have oval injector plugs. Worse case is swapping the injector plugs :)

Had not seen your reply Josh as I didn't get a notification weirdly. Injectors have oval plug sockets so its all good :)

Pretty much decided on the downpipe flange now, just waitng for them to come into stock again.

Plan is to weld a plate over the oval hole, then ovalised one end of a 180 degree 2.5" pipe, then cut that exact oval shape out of the plate.
Image
Although I think these type are made to take a 3" transition pipe ( oval to round in a very short distance)
Could do that but then it would need a cone reducer (which I have made just for the fun of it) down to 2.5"
which might push out the distance too much...
