NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

I am back

So it has been a long time since I have been active, what has been going on in BDA land?

Well I have a couple more projects on the go......suprise!

The first of these is an MX5 that I picked up for £250. It was accident damaged, and the plan originally was to break it for parts, sell the majority off and keep the others for another project. However, my father in law convinced me to fix it......

I had to replace the drivers door and front wing (£60) and apply about £20 worth of filler to the rear quarter.......most of which ended up back on my drive as dust!

It was MoTd until April, a copy of which I got from my local tester. The V5 arrived from Swansea. Insurance was purchased and then it was off to the post office for tax. So it is now back on the road

It wasn't long before I thought it needed a bit of BDA flair......

So out with the vinyl and soon the bonnet, windscreen surround and boot were decorated.......

A month or so passed, and it was clear a chome and pink bonnet was attracting attention, not content I decided it was time to complete the makeover.........



Out with the matt black paint and things are starting to look much better!

The recent snow has not discouraged me at all and I continue with the transformation! Only a few panels left now!

You may also have spotted some rear wheel arch extensions

Anyway, once finished I think there will be some baseline runs to see how it goes.........

I am then planning on adding an electric turbocharger! I have a turbo ready for use and a 10bhp electric motor to drive it (NOT A POS PC FAN!). Should hit 60000rpm and hoping for 0.5bar boost. Why do this and not just fit nitrous? Because I can! I like to be different and anyway who says I cant do both!!!!

Watch this space!

I'm particularly interested in this project Dave.

Any pics of the blower etc.

No pics yet Trev as they are just a bunch of parts!

I did think of a conventional turbo setup..........but there was too much pipework fabrication to do. I then thought of a BMW Mini suprcharger that can be had cheaply.......too much mechanical fabrication to do. So I settled on the idea of an electric turbo. This will be activated pretty much as a nitrous system is used, that is it wont always be on but the driver can choose when to use it. So pootling to work and back it is normally aspirated and at the strip it is forced induction.

Obviously an extra injector and controller will be required to keep the fuel in check, I did think that a Revo would do the job nicely, but as this is just a toy I cant really justify the expense. Instead I have bought some Impreza injectors for a couple of quid each! Now to figure a cheap way to control them.......An MF2 would be nice, but £200 kinda sits on the expensive side!

Not sure this will work........but it is almost done!

A couple more pics......it is about time it visited the pod I think

i lurve the black
think the wheels might be up pells street at the moment too

YES DAVE

What about coming up this weekend?

Unfortunately I am otherwise engaged this weekend.......but soon I shall make my return

rats!

I was hoping to add an MX5 to the 'Beaten by a Skoda Club'
Select club Dave - Both Pel and Chris are the founder members!

Now if only the pipes will stay attached to the turbo....................

im working on the mr2, im gonna tax it at the start of april
itll be ready when its ready

mmmmmmm...........stripey!

The boot is now sporting some lurvely stripes! They are painted rather that vinyl and the photo really doesn't show the flourescent pink off! Just the bonnet and bumpers to stripe and I will turn my attention away from the cosmetics

PINK??

Namby Pamby Girlie cars!



Did you want lemonade with that?

(I would suggest Ice and Slice but someone else needs that)


(ooh that Rapid blue is JUST SO Rude!)

yeah baby!

the power of the pink!

It is now a reality! Pinks stripes rock!

dave i dont know what your smoking, but can i have some
id like to say it looks great, but its sooooooooooooooooo erm.............

WOW!!

The flourescent yellow really sets the pink off! Cant wait until it is done!

lookin better dave, the yellow makes the pink look more red
by the way, how did you paint the car? its satin black isnt it?

Simoniz 500ml Matt Black rattle cans! So far about 14 used at a cost of ~£25 (Ebay)

The pink is Plasticote Flourescent stuff from B&Q

The yellow is some pinstripe of Ebay

I am undecided about decoration for the sides..........

You wouldn't believe I dont drink or participate in mind altering substances......all this has come from a sober mind!

But Dave
Rattle cans ARE mind altering substances.........
