I know... And I need to add another car to my sig! Are you coming out on the Sunday Cruise? If so I will show you. So far I have only removed the pump, finishing it off tonight... :evil: As above; I can't make it due to uni commitments =[ I'm sure I'll see it eventually. If not take photos =P If yo...

chris, your signature is gigantic


How'd you do your PS removal? Just looped hoses?

Guys remember to take pictures. I will be living vicariously through all of you whilst I study for exams.

Could you please post pictures to atleast try and dispel some of the so-called "haters"? A lot of the people on this forum are some of the most knowledgeable folk about these cars, siren included, who have been doing this for a while. They are being like this because of their said knowledge ringing ...

Huh??? next one i build will be v8 monster miata....!!! rover v8 sounds like me Very Happy So in an earlier post you were only looking at building a V8 miata. ...

Hmmmmm....

I assume no cutting/modification of the body panels are allowed?

Do you guys get issues with cooling? Most I've seen are still using the stock radiator.

I'm keen but it's bang on exam period for me at uni. =[

Hope you guys get a good turn out and weather. I will be sure to try make the next one!

Haha yea that bit. Didn't expect it to be wet. Oops

None lol. I just nearly ran out petrol.

I was our designated back marker. Enjoy that last stretch of Ridge Rd on the way back to Albany?

Hahaha nice photo!

Workshop is coming along nice! So jealous haha.

Bridgestone RE002 was quite good for me. They had a deal on at the time so it was a bit cheaper.

You will need a roll bar for Hampton. Other tracks may turn a blind eye. It's not advisable to risk it and track the car without one. Options really are to get them made here or import a Hard Dog or Blackbird FabWorx bar yourself. Here's a short list of some shops in Auckland I know have done MX5s b...

Hmm if it's the inside of the tyre I reckon it would be too much negative camber or too much toe (can't remember which way for toe the wear would be worse now.. I'll get back to you). Pity there's not many shops who are willing to take the time to go through and get close to alignment specs that you...

Nice! Gutted I missed it.

Not all springs are created equal. So a mix of corner weights and different spring stiffness at each corner can lead to the difference in ride height.

It's luck of the draw. I've been able to bring in $500 worth of stuff in one shipment and not get pinged.

I think higher prices and frequency will make them find you easier though (they had no trouble finding my wheels =[ )

Found my rod end/random bits list if this is still a thing. QA1 Rodends: GFR5T x6 GFL5T x3 QA1 Jam Nuts: JNR5A (or JNR5S if aluminium is not available) x6 JNL5A (or JNL5S if aluminium is not available) x3 Not sure how much they'll cost since Cardwells doesn't put prices on these for their site. If t...

On jacking: At home where I don't have much room either side of my car, I jack from the front subframe (near the sump) and the diff. With jack stands in between the rain notches. (my jack is gigantic so I need to drive up on planks of wood to get it under - despite my stock ride height x[ ) When I w...

Didn't know you were aiming for a discount lol. Lemme check the bank account.


Edit: When are you planning to go? Lost my list of part numbers for some rodends I was planning to get and need to work out which ones I need again.

the ford motorcraft manual gbox oil is the best by far. EVERYONE is raving about it...better than redline. takes about a few hunderd kms to fell the effects but havent heard a bad thing about it.... GROUP BUY ANYONE??? Yea I find redline as pretty crappy as a daily driving gear oil. Every time I ho...

I can see issues with keeping rain out once you're not moving. Even with the sliding door idea. I say just roll the windows down.
