Oh that was YOU who started this thread :) I didn't even realise I'd replied to you in the past.

GP14, the dodgy I was talking about is here: http://www.aus-cartalk.com/viewtopic.ph ... 7&start=45

If we can get the necessary tools, I'm more than happy to help you out.

If anyone out there can spare their precious time and resources that would be great. I plan to do it anytime between now and end of December but i need a couple of weeks to get the engine ripped out of the existing wreck.


Hello Geoff, I have a engine stand and lifting/balance bar you are welcome to borrow if you want and are planning to do this at the GCDDIII? If not I have a the following Saturdays free and facility's to to a engine swap. 17/11, 15/12, 22/12 & 29/12.

Thanks Sabretooth. Unfortunately the 17th dodgy day is too close for mx5plus to rip out the old engine.

Thanks Andrew, I will call Richard and see when I can have it and I'll get back to you. The 15/12 looks good.Thanks for the help.

Geoff
