Picking a date would have been the hardest part Fatty. There's a few guys here that would be more than willing to help you out including myself. I've done suspension and brakes myself. Bushes might be different but I'm sure someone would have done the dif before. Anyway the point is pick a date and they will come :D

You need to get some grey hair Fatty.
I bought some suspension bits from the US, put them in couple of weeks ago. Brakes have been pulled apart and put back in. Just did my main crank seal, cam seals, timing belt and fitted a sports air filter. (Took off the $2.00 special you saw) Found a lot of useful info on the net, especially in regards the timing belt change.
Only problem I had was getting under the car and twisting the poor old body around to undo bolts etc.
Sadly MX5 less for a while.

the brakes and suspension wasn't really the issue, it was the bushes. other guys that that have done bushes at home have told me it can take up to 30 hours :shock:

you need to remove the suspension, brakes, diff etc to get to the bushes anyway. so as i don't have a spare 30 hours, i got it all done by centreline. picked the car up today. torsen, brake upgrade, teins, bushes. the car feels pretty damn good 8) .

i needed it done, as phillip island is next weekend. so now, i only have myself to blame for my slow lap times. i can't blame the car anymore :mrgreen:

as i said earlier,work has been really busy. and on top of that, i am now also working part time for my previous employer. the guy who replaced me walked out on them recently, so i am helping them out unti they find a replacement. so i have very little spare time at the moment, but i still have plenty of work to do on the car, so THERE WILL BE A DODGEY DAY SOON!!!
