I had the same with jr , for the mx5 they couldn't offer me a CV that fit 😭

How did you do the diff nose support? ended up welding a plate to the Diff casting and using a chassis mount to hold the diff at the right andle

cost me 250 usd to have just the one spot welded on. thankfully only that one bit that has the notch. would have been 500 for all 4

JR gets sometimes things wrong or perhaps more often. Had an Alfa Romeo GT and same discussions in the forums. Now years later working for a well known garage brand I have learned that some parts need to be ordered from main dealer only. Those ones from Eurocarparts etc doesn’t fit. We had 2 weeks ago a set of rear coil springs for a Q7 which didn’t fit and a radiator for a Mini to return because they won’t fit. But I can feel your pain

Are your pistons 9.0:1 compression or factory non vvti 8.5:1 ? Thanks

Just watched this again and I forgot how blue it is and you know how much I like blue....

Omg you guys are hilarious. More vids please. Inspired for my 05 r53 :D Love carbon /drool

I'd love to see you put in a lap time (with decent tyres) without getting the rear end out in every corner. I bet, in your mx5, keeping it tight and in shape, You'd set some bloody great times. What the fcuk do I know though, I'm sh!te!

Perfect series bro, I’m rebuilding a mk3 Supra with a 1jz now, wanted to just throw rings and bearings but bore was out of round so now boring to 86.5mm, very helpful and informative videos, cheers

I will never understand how you or anyone works out the way round one of those courses.

Have you looked at speeduino for an aftermarket ecu? I built one a few years ago and got an e30 325i running on it. Took a few hours of soldering and a crash course on tunerstudio but it’s a very cheap good option.

Great video as always mate. I’ve recently found similar with my car, fully soft of the MeisterRs is the way to go, wee bit more tyre pressure in the rear, but not crazy. Drives so much more predictably.

At least you are sure now it is the car, not the driver. I keep thinking I would get lost on those Auto Tests. Was that really the way round you showed on paper? Looks like Clarkson had designed it, lol.

Ive forgotten if you have an aftermarket rear bar. Swap that back for the standard and see how it goes. Keeps a sharp turn in but makes it a bit more progressive

Brilliant video and great outcome to the testing. I remember this being an eternal question in motor racing, 'how quick would driver A be if he was in driver B's car'. But it's not just that, your thoughts on the SC MX5 being much softer and more predictable is also really informative. I'm looking forward to you lifting the title in the Locost!

FYI - Those are NOT Polybushes.

175 bhp

One hundred eighty….one horse powa!!! Lol. TBH I hope get a wee bit over 200 for your efforts.

Im not a welder, so very possibly im talking crap...but, i wander if making a former around the port with clay or something to stop the molten ally rolling off, might save a few rods and maybe some time buildingup to the required level. Would have to be careful not to contaminate the weld surface though i suppose.

Got a link for that foot pedal or is it just a generic one. That’s the same Rohr tig I have and it defo needs a pedal when I’m doing aluminium. 👍 Another great vid.

Nice one chaps!

Nice dimes guys! Do you think placing the head in an oven would be any good for preheating it? People temper knives after hardening them in a forge in an ordinary oven. It would give you an indication of temperature too. I know it is too late now, but.....

I read the thumbnail incorrectly and was concerned for a few seconds.

Very great job man! For your next driving videos, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork please? :)

Vapour blasting isn't that new - the bike restoring fraternity have been using it for years!

Setting deadlines can be an effective way getting things done. 👍 And vapour blasting! I will be looking into this.

Men of culture welcome

Won't you be too scared to drive it when it's finally finished ?

I thought you were going to say you ended up buying a new one. It really came up nice.

Yeah… first to comment and haven’t even finished watching…. I just know it will be excellent. Such a shame it’s not another bodywork episode! On my 6th car fix up in the past 18months thanks in part to you guys. Keep up the great work.

Tricky wee track glad you had a great day. If you join EACC they do track day once month great way to dial in your car. Doune or Forestburn next ? 👍

Great video. I have my first sprint this weekend. Looking forward to it.

Awesome job. Great wee historic place is Kames.

I was on the Isle of Wight the week before the Sandown sprint this year and the chap that owned the cottage had solberg’s old Subaru proper mint. In his garage he had tony ponds 1983 Nissan group B car also one of the car club had a supercharged MX5 which was mental If you travel down to the island next year I will pay your ferry crossing from Portsmouth to the island, and £100.00 towards fuel for the sprint.

Visited Kames donkeys ago on an MX5 OC jolly (one of the members was competing that day). Fun wee place to spectate. Everyone ultra friendly and happy to let you have a close look at the cars. Though i'd love to know what they thought of us with 20+ MX5s all lined up on the ridge line above the paddock! XD

Kames is a great wee place - it was good to have a quick chat with you in the paddock. That Audi engined half-a-Clio was quite a thing.

That was a nice testing circuit. I don't think there are many tracks where you can go both ways, if you know what I mean, either. It'd be good to see you at Knock Hill some time. Enjoying that you never know what is coming next in the vids.

Aw dude your gonna look awesome next time we go to the gokarts You better have the full suit on by the way

Win, lose, ditch,hedge or barrier finish it’s all about having some fun

Have you thought about going to see Misha Charoudin with one of your cars? Might drive traffic to your channel, plus who doesn't want to spend time at the 'ring?

Great video, I just wish it was in English

Do you know how many hours you have put into it in total?

Similar issue with my fiberglass scuttle. To have everything fit nice and clean, I am probably going to do it all out of aluminum

What welder were you using for the tig work?

Just found this channel! Loving so far, need to do similar on the underside of my mk2 focus st, what’s the paint you’re using on the underside? How’s it held up?

After working my way through two sets of 2nd hand body pannels I have given up and have started buck/mould making myown now. Turns out 2nd hand fibreglass body pannels love to warp and bend all over the place if not stored properly 🤦‍♂️

Auuugh! You slammed 'TVR build quality'! It's supposed to be in your thoughts and not spoken, like our creepy uncle with his sausage collection (he only had the one, but it was real pretty). Just a question-- do you sometimes miss your TVR? Thanks for the hard work!

The last patreon name 🤣

I use Wash and Go on my car. And roll on deodorant on the bearings. Those brackets were Binky class, they looked so right.
