Aww, you missed me! Shucks.

Sorry guys - mucho on the plate lately and no time to forum surf.

Fingers crossed, car was finished yesterday and is getting tuned and dynoed today (we have a 'before' from the same dyno).

Here's some pics, courtesy of Danny. Will be collecting the car tomorrow.

 

some more...

 

last ones for now...

 

Looking serious, can't wait for the numbers and seeing it in person

 

Looking great Dave. Weren't you putting the BHR coils on?

 

wow long time

 

wow Revolver, that looks great!

who / what is "sprintex"? I think that's what it says on the unit

Revolver, looks great! Looking forward to your future review

 

sweet
we want videos dynos and timeslips - that should just about cover it

 

That was the plan but I'm told by Danny's bloke Rhys (ex-5 years working in a Mazda dealership service dept) that they won't fit - just a little too tall.

So, because the older coils were showing some arcing damage, I sent up my spare new set, which have been fitted instead.

Danny and Rhys are toying with locating the BHR set remotely, so I'll hang onto the kit for the time being. If that doesn't work, I'll be looking for a buyer...

 

Tell me about it. Some supply and teething issues but we're getting there...gotta expect some delays with a major mod like this one.

 

I'll post up everything I get. No secrets.

An oil leak is getting sorted as we speak, so hopefully dyno still happens today. Can't say enough about Danny's regular communication and his team's dedication to making it happen. Very pleased with the customer focus.

 

Noice Job there Dave...bet you can not wait to take her out?

 

Thanks Ash.

Yep, flying up tomorrow morning. Just heard from Danny again 5 mins ago. All issues sorted and the car is heading to the dyno now.

Spending the weekend on the Goldie and then a lazy 1000kms or so driving her home on Monday/Tuesday. Will be taking it very carefully though and looking for fluid leaks, etc.

Starting to allow myself to get just a lil excited.

 

have fun on the drive home - hope the wait will be worth it ...

 

congratulations revolver!
you will find the boost intoxicating

 

Thanks guys.

Some ECU issues overnight and this morning but just had my first short drive back to Danny's workshop from the dyno. Feels very strong all across the rev range but you especially notice it in the low-mid range. Torque is on tap as soon as you put your foot down - no lag at all. Very progressive and smooth power delivery. Feels like it's just got a bigger capacity rotary engine. And that S/C whine gets addictive alright!

Very impressed so far.

Will post up dyno results, etc when I get a chance next week. Have a long interstate drive ahead of me first.

 

Know ALL about ecu issues and PT - been there got the T .

 

Sounds good, looks good, feels good, congratz!!

 

Well done revolver, so glad to see one of the originals finally getting to enjoy the fruits of Hymees efforts. Cant wait for further feedback ( and track times )

 

WOW... Its finally happening!

Have been out of it a long time and thought I would pop back in to see how your Hymee was going. Very excited for you Dave.

I shall try and stay around to hear your thoughts and impressions.

 

i don't understand, the oil filter was relocated under the car?

 

so it seems. not a bad location for a service shop to get at on the hoist. better than in the engine bay over other components.

 

i guess.. but one good object on the ground and you're spewing oil. Doesn't take much to punch a hole in the stock filter.
