    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    Finally unwrapped the beast. I swear my grandmother wrapped it (the woman knew how to wrap things), I lost count of how many times I unwound the plastic from the body. Got it all undone and enjoyed the beauty. The new parts are internal so I couldn't really see much beyond the newly-coated...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    I'm sure none of us have ever, oh, baked a paint application in the oven while our wife was gone. The smell is what gives that away, although if you have some Hoppe's #9 handy that usually overpowers anything else.

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    Got home last night, as per usual coming from halfway around the world I woke up after only a couple of hours of sleep. Started looking for things I have bought, including the supercharger, but it wasn't in the garage. Took a few minutes but I found my bride had left it in the kitchen...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    As it turns out I won't be home as anticipated. Should have been sitting in my chair typing this, instead I'm on the ship for another two weeks or so. Y'all will have to find another thread to jack. :cool:

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    And just like that, I got threadjacked. I would be in for a fall visit, work schedule depending.

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    I'd just be happy with fewer RVs.

    That just means you're old. I can always go back to that MO...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    Well I'm not home yet but I figured I'd post so those who are stopping by know when they might see something here. Got about another month before I get home and one of the first orders of business will be to get the supercharger installed again, weather permitting. I have something else on the...

    ND MX-5 Jeff's 2016 ST GT Build

    I'm right there with you on that, but I will be sure to be BEHIND you the next time we are on a drive together. Of course the last time I did that I almost got run into the side of the hill by an RV during MATG...

    I see you went with the brown note horn option.

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    Here’s some pictures of what I did with the foam and mounting for the MS3: Haven’t noticed any problems with it yet. Changed back to my silver wheels yesterday and gave her a going to sleep nap this morning. I did finally get notice that my supercharger is headed to me (supposedly it was...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    Ended up using some zip-ties to mount the MS3 to the underside of the steering column. I used what I had on hand, this morning while out for a test drive I stopped by Ace and got some long, wide zip-ties. I’m going to redo the mounting also using some 1/16” foam I have to provide some cushioning...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    I got in touch with the builder of my MS3 to seek his help with my non-start issue. After five days or so of back-and-forth e-mails (time differences suck for that), we established that my fuel pump wasn’t operating. To check the pump itself was fine, I made a wire to jump out the F/P and GND...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    After the weatherstrip was installed I went back to the MS install. This entailed installing my AEM Uego wideband and getting it all wired up. Did that and did the basic steps in getting the MS set up. Once that was done I turned the key and she fired up. Briefly any way, the revs slowly died...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    At that point I decided to take a little break to work on something simpler. My windshield header weatherstrip was showing signs of wear so I decided to replace that. Here is the part number for it: I bought it online from a dealer near me and picked it up in person. With that in hand I...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    Yesterday I decided to start installing my MS3. I bought a Singular Motorsports bracket to mount it, however I didn’t realize that Reverant’s unit doesn’t have an easy way to attach it to the bracket. If you purchase the bracket from Goodwin Racing, they will include some mounts if you ask for...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    Washed her up once home, and took some time to decompress. Called about my supercharger as I had still not heard any update. Owner of the place called me back and was sort-of apologetic. He said he would try to get it finished up and sent back by Friday. At this point I’m honestly not expecting...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    After nearly three months gone I made it home…for a day. I had to leave for some training, but that gave me enough time to drool over my MS3 and other bits and pieces. I gave her a good going-through in preparation for my drive south. Part of that was using a DIY refrigerant recharge kit to...

    NB MX-5 Hey, it's Minnie!

    I’m still overseas, but checked on the status of my ‘charger rebuild. It’s set to be completed second week of July so should be home waiting for me. I also decided to upgrade to a MS3 Basic from Reverant so that has been ordered. Will have to get acquainted with this, but since this is the...
