So what types of 'cutting' do you normally do with this particular tool?!

I know one bloke who probably could have used it last week - doubt you would have got it back though since the cops would need it for evidence.

Hmmm let me think what could I do...
Twin hoop bar
Frame rails and butterfly brace
Front lip
Finish my doorcard
Make up a new intake with IAT
If I can get my butt into gear and wire up the loom... I do have an MS3 to go in the car... Grant you may recall this one 'twas built for an gent who was going to run it in his grey nomad machine... I still didn't make wiring for it yet!

Well, we could get a lot done on that if you wish... just need a DIYBOB or something to plug into the stock harness (or even just wire it up directly using terminal blocks so you can put the stock ecu back if the MS3 doesn't get you home - dodgy but would be in the spirit of the day I guess).

Obviously to help you, I'd bring all my electronics bits and tools to whip that up as quick as I can - would just need a shady spot on a desk to do the work.

The old harness is still in my NA6 so you could remove part of this harness if needed. I was planning to pull it out anyway.

I have a fair bit of low voltage wiring stuff/plugs/soldering irons/crimps/wire/loom at home if needed.

sailaholic, whilst this was not my intention it looks like it will be. ITB MX5's all with bonnets open would be a great shot.

Grant... I will let you know before the day my level of readiness so you don't unnecessarily bring anything you don't have to! :mrgreen:

If S D isn't ready, I have an MS2 tuning challenge for you if you're up for it on the day:)

No problems. Looks like a few are coming to play with MS2 so I'll bring the stuff I need regardless just in case.

Tuning challenge? What's the problems you're having? Send me a PM so that I can get a feel for the help needed.

Sure. Let me know where you're up to so that you and I are prepared as much as possible - send me a PM with details on where you've got to so far. Not sure we'll need an air rattle gun to install it, but good to know you have one should we need to screw the bitch'n ECU down !!

Coilovers arrived this week

And I bought some zip ties for the foamectomy (uesd to re-attatch the seat cover). I bought a pack of 100, any idea how many a seat requires?

Haven't pulled the trigger on the intercooler yet, need to assess the finances first.

Looking forwrd to this day! :mrgreen:

i meant to mention when i saw you on Sunday for you to research a foamectomy with leather seats.
some peoples opinion is that leather does not stretch like cloth ,so stitching and the perforated
leather is put under extra stress.
i was thinking of doing it ,but i already have a small tear between the perforations on my seat.

pezchops · Postby **pezchops** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 1:08 pm

i might turn up, but all i would like to do ,if anyone is willing,is try a set of 15inch wheels on my car for a quick spin around the block.
apart from that i could lend a hand if needed.
i want to see for myself if all the hype about lighter wheels makes much difference for daily type driving.
my 17ins wheel and tyre are 16.8 kg ,so not over the top heavy??
i would need to feel a big positive difference to ditch them.

Hmmm... food for thought, thanks.
