Hey Gazza, Uniden do a relay module for garage doors, I fitted one to mine in the last house and removed it and fitted it to the gate in this house, its just a relay module and is reasonably easy to fit if you're electrically minded - instructions included, and you can program it to work off any of ...

While I'm sure you want to replace the one you've broken/mangled/whatever... The need may not be quite as urgent as you think... Many cars have been running for years without them. Fletch. I can attest to that, once the mounting nuts break off on the standard exhaust you soon get sick of the rattli...

Al's Upholstery on the North Shore and a discount for club members - we had a glass window fitted a couple of years ago, highly recommended!

My timing is bumped up to around 16 degrees and I still run 91 with no knocking or noticeable difference in economy...

I've had mine in the intake on both a 1990 and a 1994 with no noticeable loss of cooling - they were both stock engines though, so if you have a big intercooler in there its probably not a wise decision

Thanks for that, I'll see if I can glean some information I hate having to unzip the window

Noticed these on trademe recently, how does that work then? I have the top in my 1994 replaced with glass, its got the zip though - obviously the lid won't go down with it zipped up (unlike plastic, glass doesn't fold in half for some crazy reason!). Are these tops somehow different? I love the new ...

me too

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer my NA to my wifes NC but its still a damn fine car. I don't like the idea of the coupe though...

The band I've been playing in for the last 9 months, self-destructed a few weeks ago. I'm currently 'resting' but hopefully putting something together in a few weeks. Could always use a good drummer if you're keen? I play lead and bass, was playing bass regularly up until the last band - I've amasse...

Thanks for the replies guys, plenty to think about there.... I'm used to paying horrendous shipping, I'm restoring a couple of lambrettas and shipping from the UK usually costs more than the parts

Ok guys, its time I got a little more power... Please recommendations as to the best way to do this on a budget! Not neccesarily the cheapest but bearing in mind I have a wife and 8 guitars to support (and another on the way!) Reconditioned Turbo? What will fit etc.... Although I'm a web programmer ...

Definitely if I trust it completely by then - failing that we can come for a run in the wife's NC

just been out and put 100 Km on it and so far no smoke and the thermostat housing is holding together If the smoking's cured I'll be very happy!

Damn - comiserations. With the head refurb, what did you tackle yourself & which bits did you get others to do ? What prompted the work in the first place ? Regards, It started to smoke when warm :( I'm hoping it was the valve guide seals and not piston rings, I refurbished the head myself the firs...

ok, finally got round to having the head refurbished and the guys couldn't find anything major wrong with the rebuild I did - valve seats needed a bit more polish and they changed the guide seals again. So I put it together again today after a visit to repco (I was in a hurry) for a thermostat and g...

I haven't found any advantage having 6 gears in our NC over the standard NA 5 speed gearbox.... yet... Its unfortunate having the reverse where it is, it's take a couple of weeks to really get used to it

[quote="the pram"][quote="Ben.Nakagawa"]I listen in to the UK owners club forum too.

originally from just south of newcastle and worked in dumfries and aberdeen, I hope you have a hardtop

Cheers, we're pretty central, I'll have a hunt round for a dealer. At least its immobilised at present

Fletch.

indeed

Personally I would recommend anyone with an affected model to strongly keep an eye out for pulley wobble, I had to repair mine a year or so ago.

That's the thing... I don't like the flow, it is like a watergun and is pretty useless... The fluidic system makes the 'jet' into a fan pattern spray and will cover much more area... look at the photos between MX-5 and Tribute comparisons on Page 3... :P I like new tech that functions well :lol: Of...

I'm admin there Its filled with other guitar nuts too

alas, it will be a long time be owning one :cry: be a long time before I can afford one too, we're a seven guitar family at the moment ;) and I believe there is room for 2 or 3 more :D I agree with the niggles and I agree strongly about the winding roads, it is a great car round a corner, but I fou...

no alarm in the new models just an immobiliser, we'd like potential thieves to be deafened so I guess it needs an alarm that sets itself when the key is removed, or with the immobiliser?

Recommendations please!
