Toyota Yaris/Echo coil packs worked well on our MX5, you can get brackets to mount them directly on. Full sequential ignition and injection means no wasted spark or bulk fuel being sprayed when it's not being squished and lit up for maximum skids. 0.8mm spark gap and one range colder doesn't hurt either.

Great to have Phil back at home! Thanks to all who helped get him back :)

I know how much a 1.6 can't take :/

I've never seen someone so excited about 200whp, this is Alex is a fun host even if he seems like a bloke who knows basic amount of mechanical knowledge. Keep it up man, love this channel.

Many horse powers! Right let's do some skids in Phil now Alex 😅

That turbo flutter, though. Simply magnificent.
Good to see Phil back, let's hope he survives all that boost.

I give it another 3 months before this thing needs a new engine. It's clapped out.

Great news Alex! Have fun with Phil in full form again! And btw, give my congrats to whoever owns the RX7 FD we saw in the garage elevated as it is my fav car of all times : )

My mums Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet has been left in a garage for over a year un-started, it started first time without ticking over once. Brilliant engineering

So did anybody else see that RX7 up there at 0:38

[stephensmith]

8:20 of fixing Phil, and 1:30 of driving and ending. Lovely.

I bet if turbo yoda put the turbo on maybe it would actually work.

[Julian-dobv]
