MX5 turbo on the road again.......

[Fozzy]

I tried the wrinkle paint on the plastic cover and worked really well, have to be careful if using heat gun to heat it evenly to get a consistent finish.

Had a few set backs, first one was when filling the coolant, turns out the waterpump gasket was f*cked and is leaking badly, so off came all the covers again and new cambelt waterpump and tensioners have been fitted.

Only picture i have of changing all that:



Now everything was back together i moved onto fitting gauges, and the ecu, then came the first start. (pictures to follow)

So i plugged in my laptop with my newly purchase serial to usb cable. Loaded tunerstudio followed the instructions i have (getting close now)







But whats that CONNECTION FAILED ............. F*CK

Turns out you need the right chipset for the fussy MS2 so that was another weekend of work wasted.

Back home this weekend with a new cable which has been tested and know to work. So hopefully videos of a car running coming soon (as requested by poodle)
