Hey Frank,

If my new calipers arrive in the post by then, I might join ye, if thats alright

Is there gonna be a Gazebo?

Actually I've to drill my sump for the turbo oil return too.

[franksm]

Yeah Robin, come on ahead.

Geese, no friggin' gazebo this time. And no fly-away instructions. The neighbours' bouncy castle will also be bolted down.

Weather on Saturday looks okay (Friday will be wet).

What size tap do you need for the sump ? I still have one from my FMII, must search it out

[Geese]

I should have the tap and drill etc in a box somwhere but if you have one that'd be great.

Hopefully weather will hold up

[ger]

Geese, I have the tap from the greddy upgrade, its a 3/8 NPT (national pipe thread), quite a big fecker, you will need the larger size tap handle.

Give me a call if you need it.

[Geese]

I've got a 1/2" hose barb and a 22mm drill bit

a 3/8" would be great but I'd need the correct hose barb for her.

[ger]

I got the 3/8 hose barb from mx5mad, if they still have them in stock you are welcome to mine and you can order me another.

ger

[Geese]

I would but they don't take overseas orders off the web and they don't seem to answer my emails.

I had to get my bipes off BEGI in the states after 2months of trying to get it from Mx5mad I even called ya man he asked me to email "paul" of which i got one reply.

hey they don't want my cash obviously

[ger]

Strange, i always rang them direct and dealt with Russell, got my turbo and harddog from them no probs.

You could probably make one on a lathe, i will bring the one i have out to franks on sat you can take a look.

[Steve]

hmm... will ring them tomorrow, I've emailed them several times in the last 2 weeks with no reply too.

[mx5ash]

Mx5mad are having a sale at the minute and are up the walls apparently.

After all the "hard" pre-NCT work I did at Frank's last weekend, the car passed no bother this morning Damn thing hadn't been tested in 6 years but everything was well within the limits. Interesting things for anyone facing theirs:

1. Car is a 93 so AFAIK it's meant to have a cat - it doesn't
2. Front plate is a sticky with proper lettering etc and no comment on it even though technically it's not thick enough, supposed to be 2.5mm

Which test center were you in Dave?

Feargal, it was Ballymun, they were mad busy.
