Someone emailed me regarding a picture of the T-Shirts. I apologise, but my spam filter seems to have consumed your email. Please email me again and I will provide one.

Thanks

Of course I should have said.

For anyone interested I have submitted a forsale ad to the club site listing a few Team Voodoo items (shift knobs etc, T-Shirts) that I am clearing.

I suspect the Borla is the glass fibre type then... its certainly got louder over the time I've owned it. If they re-pack them, what do they do? Cut off one end, repack, and re-weld the end back on? I guess something like this might allow a repair of anything internal that is loose. I know nothing a...

Thanks guys. I'll do some asking. Fletch did you have a resonator previously? Until now my systems been the Borla which is a pipe plus muffler, and my cat is a high-flow I bought from Loch Stewart some 7 years back. I do remember others saying that when they completely removed the cat there was a re...

$400, ouch.... I haven't been to see the exhaust shops yet...

My almost 10 year old Borla cat-back muffler is in need of replacement. Its got an unpleasant buzz / rattle at just under 3k rpm which happens to be about where it seems to run a bit of the time around town... I need to have a muffler / pipe combination made up to run from the cat to the tail pipe. ...

Colin on the list here can vouch for the products from Loch Stewart, if they are still available. Made a measurable difference to his 1.8. On the other hand the extractors he had previously from McLennan's here in Wellington were likely causing a LOSS of performance. On Tue, 27 Apr 2004 17:39:42 +12...

Depends on who makes the extractors. There are good ones, properly designed, and there are pipes that look like extractors, but have not had any design effort put into them.

I've got a pair of those ramps, but don't use them. On our paved surface they slide when you try to drive up on them. On asphalt its OK though.

Gee,

This is sliding into the sort of discussion that needs moderating...

Bill, I believe that if you look at the ticket you will see that your option regarding defence is to make a written submission. Or perhaps this is if you admit guilt? You will need to decide if you are going to admit speeding (ie over 50) and then make some argument around that as defence, or deny s...

Speedo's are only +/- 5% aren't they? Probably doesn't help you case though ("I was cautiously driving at an indicated speed of 58km/hr officer")

So you're saying that this will be a regular problem for MX-5 owners? Anyone else out there suffering from this "very likely" problem?

"but let's face it, an uppydowny headlight is very likely to get out of alignment"

Agreed, but what I'm interested in is a count of how many headlight alignments have been needed by those on the list, I'd suspect almost none during the ownership of their car. I can't see how it can suddenly go out of alignment when nothing has been touched that could affect it. Of course I could h...

I've just had a WOF done today, and was surprised when I had a call from the local garage who do this for me to say it had failed and needed a headlight alignment. That would cost an additional $25 plus GST. I was stuck of course, as it had to be approved to pass, and they had the car. So I said yes...

One pitfall when you are having a car bought at auction... the local dealer will tell you what he thinks the car will sell for in Japan, and you will do your figures based on that. He will then ask you how high you would be prepared to have the bid go so he can set a maximum bid. You will find that ...

Actually there have been some pretty average Alfas over the past 20 years. Its a brand that rests mostly on its heritage, without delivering much of substance or excitement any more.

I agree entirely with you Fletch, it is great stuff. Fog-X however just made a smeary mess on the inside of my windscreen when I tried it, and it was very hard to clean it up.
