Looking forward to this rightly, also our first time out in an MX5. Is a sump gaurd vital (standard ride height). I've fab'ed one up out of of alluminium plate but doubt it will take any serious abuse.
On a side note, would any of you MX5 lads know where I could source a 13mm bolt that holds the caliper to the cairrier/slider pin. Its off the bigger brake set up. Was checking over the car and noticed it missing, ordered one off Autolink but they sent me the wrong thing and now I'm panicking incase it does'nt arrive in time.
I'm planning on bringing a positively eclectic mix of tyres. Some say its called planning for all conditions..... I say, its desperately rounding up what I have left after puncturing everything else in sight!
Really looking forward to getting out again. Seems like its been ages.
I see you are on the entry list in "Paul the Pug", I thought Paul was dead?
I think theres an updated one which will be put out tonight alongside final instructions 2 which has some other name
Flip! Fair play to them for trekking over! In reality we'll see next to none of these old cars in action unless we're queued behind one at the start of a test. Will have to rely on Peespeed and other photographers for some action shots!.. Some spectator footage would be nice too if anyone knows or gets talking to anyone recording (being carefull what areas of private land they're recording of course!)Kermit the saab is a v4 coming from Scotland.
@swervygerdy Yeah it's a tight fit, I've also tried the 195 50 15 + space saver combo, but might try two 185 65 14's instead. I'm surprised the 16" doesnt go in!.. Take it you're in a later Mk2.5 Sport or similar with 215 45 16?.. Does that mean once you've your space saver put on, you then cant put the punctured 16" in the boot?!.. lol!..It's a fine art in an MX5, I think I managed a 195/50x15 spare & the space saver both in the boot before!
Would anyone be able to forward on the final instructions to crothers_david@hotmail.com ?.. D1ckhead here stuck his work email on the entry form not realizing he'd be off!
lol @RComms
What time are all you guys from this side of the lough leaving to head up in the morning? Is anyone meeting anywhere or just sailing on at your own pace?
