I used 500ml of Castrol Syntrans and the rest Honda MTF The Honda stuff as I’ve always found it to improve day to day gearchance, especially when cold. A bit of syntrans so there’s some synthetic oil in there for track use that will hold up better at the likely extreme temps. Worth also...

Haha! You’ll need most of half term to get through the vid!! :tearsofjoy: Enjoy the time off!!

Bits you’ve specifically asked about at roughly 3:30 in the vid Peter. :thumb:

Made an effort and popped the vid together right away! Hopefully more engaging than a written update! :smiley:

Got The Terrier back, complete with new suspension! Bloody love it!! :blush: I recorded some video on the way to and then back from Birchdown so will pop a vid together with my thoughts and some footage! In the meantime a stopped on the side of the road pic!

Yeah thrilled with that thanks Pav, bit of TLC and a new clutch over the winter for it and then lots of track time!! :grin:

MX2000 dyno went well yesterday, numbers lined up pretty well with the previous roller interface run and showed what I hoped in terms of hub numbers. Hub dynos are quite different and will tend to read lower than a roller interface would calculate whp as. For this reason you have to use an...

Yes, that's it Peter, the 'Sport' kit with the adjustable shocks and matched -30/-30mm H&R springs. I'm hoping it performs miracles both improving the ride quality and dynamics... I will report back!! :smile:

I do have a spare plate on retention... M7RBO might find its way onto it. Have you seen the new Z4 though!... Ooof! If ever there's a way to make the previous generation car look old!!! :sob:

It's been all go on the house front recently but plenty going on with the cars this week! On Sunday I put the new winter wheels on the Z4 and swapped the kidney grilles and lower grille surrounds for black items whilst I was at it. Bit of a win as BMW wanted £285 fitted and wanted to remove...

All caught up with your thread now! Seats work so well, great choice!! And those last pictures, I don't think I've ever seen the colour look so good. Stunning car! :blush:

All depends on budget, how much would you like to spend? And is this a road and/track car?

Rather a late reply Luke, sorry! I'm just revisiting this as the first attempt didn't go to plan, there were two diameters of pipe to deal with across that which the previous owner replaced and the original system. Meant it wasn't the quick DIY job I had hoped and didn't want to spend extra...

Appreciate the positive feedback gents and I'm so pleased my enthusiasm translates on video. Some feedback from a previous video was that the delivery was dry, so I made an effort to capture my thoughts whilst I was still buzzing! :grin: I've been considering a private plate for the MX2000 for...

Thanks for the input Tom, trying to piece it together, I have got the matrix saved for camber and toe effect from the different shims. Do you know how much lower than OEM Cup suspension youR settings are or is that what you meant by Cup?

I don't think I can help too much, but since buying mine I've found a number of problems that have cost time and money to sort out properly. I'm doing everything properly though and even though it's costing more than I had expected initially, I know it will be worth it. They really are...

I'm having some Koni shocks and matched H&R springs fitted shortly and would like to reduce the rear toe in at the same time. I'm aware lowering will add yet more toe in, so I'm hoping to calculate in advance what shims I'll need. Or is less of an exact science than I thought? I'm not...

As has been said they're excellent tyres, really pretty good in both dry and wet. It's clear to see from the pattern that they're not ideal for hooning through lakes though. If the OP doesn't need dry track use out of them I would heartily recommend Toyo R1Rs. They're truly excellent road/wet...

One of the best things about MX5s, no expectations!! Even with the aero on it just looks like all the other Barried MX5s! :tearsofjoy:

I'm one of these wallies that develops the car continuously, but really needs to develop the squishy bit behind the wheel!! :sob:
