    Japfest 2013 - Pictures

    I met him and shook his hand the night before - There was an MCM car meet the night before. He was really nice, smart and courteous. I can only assume he was really busy trying to get footage/interviews/whatever else he'd come for on the actual day.

    2013 bike meet!

    Wish I could make this :( Just not going to be able to afford to have the bike up and running after paying out for both cars this month. Hopefully if you do another one a bit later in the year I'll be ready to go.

    Forza Horizon?

    You can get the collectors edition / VIP cars for Horizon like this too - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/VIP-Membership-and-Cars-Pack/1f84bcc0-5541-4fb8-bfd3-c50f4d1a662e I can't speak for anyone here, but there's plenty of people playing the game still :)

    Worth replacing ARB droplinks in pairs?

    I've just changed all of them on my mk1 (1 front snapped, 1 front just because it'd be sure to go next, and the 2 rears because the bushes had gone). I bought spare bolts in case I just needed to cut them off, but with some decent impact sockets + plus gas, they came off pretty easily, though...

    Yet another MX5 Project Log . .

    Just a quick update on this, a big one to follow when it all kicks off. First and formost the rust - I prodded and poked some more, and took the worst photos I could find and sent them off to the mx5 restorer for a quote - they've got plenty of experience in this area...

    Forza Horizon?

    You're in luck - I'm friends with the Car Handling designer here at PG so I asked him about this. If you want more top speed, go back to the stock engine (it has a higher max rpm). Nothing you can do about the wheelspin - it's very light so just can't get the traction for that kinda power...

    Yet another MX5 Project Log . .

    I do understand what you're saying, and that sill was indeed just bubbling when we decided to give it a quick hammering/pull. We had it up on the ramps and had a good look all around underneath. You can see where I've removed the plastic arch liner that the inside is still there (I've seen mx5's...

    It's only the sills :P The rest is fine.

    Yet another MX5 Project Log . .

    We did think it looked it a bit wierd.. it's not twisted as such but I agree it's not the best routing. It's tricky because it will only orient and fit in certain directions. Everything is just snugged up at this stage so we'll certainly have another look at it. It *is* pretty bad, but I...

    Yet another MX5 Project Log . .

    So for months I've said I'll post up a log of all the work that's taking place down the lockup that me and a few work colleagues share. I always love reading these threads and I'm long overdue for creating one, so here goes - hopefully one of many as we're *always* doing something down here...

    The new BMW adaptive led headlights.

    I do that :p I don't think anyone should assume anything about anyone in any lane personally. I should also point out that I don't have retina burning LED lights though.

    New Car (Hint: Suitably Gay) - and probably ongoing tinkerings too.

    Ok, who on this forum *doesn't* have an MX5? :P Guess I should post up the details of mine as I have done an *epic* amount of maintence work on it, including new complete clutch + slave change, suspension parts and coming up soon replace all the brake lines + hoses.. and this is ahead of the...

    300SL Barn Find

    Triggered some flashbacks for me too (I worked on Horizon :P)! I wish I had the luxury of just forgetting about priceless sports cars.

    The End of The Tax Disc?

    I don't think I've ever displayed the tax disc on my motorbike - couldn't bothered getting a holder for it where it'd just get wet and dirt anyway. I wish it was as easy to get away with it on the car. It's a complete waste of time.

    Do I have to fail an MOT to be able to drive to a place of repair?

    Hmmm... Cheeky but potentially effective :P

    Do I have to fail an MOT to be able to drive to a place of repair?

    No-one, but I was just curious if you could do it in the same manner you can drive to an MOT with potentially the same issue :P I had a look at how much it'll cost to get it transported to somewhere I trust to get it done properly and it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be so I'm...

    Do I have to fail an MOT to be able to drive to a place of repair?

    It's currently taxed and insured. The problem really is the variable quality of fixes for the sills. I don't want to pay for a 'just get it through MOT mate' special and then have to pay again to get it done properly. This likely means it may needs to go a relatively long way. I may just have to...

    Do I have to fail an MOT to be able to drive to a place of repair?

    Hi guys, googled around but can't find a definitive answer on this one. My MX5 has been off the road for months now, as I've gradually been repairing a load of stuff on it. During that time, the sills have taken a nose dive and there's no way it'll get through an MOT. Ideally, I would like to...

    Forza Horizon?

    Well, I'm still alive. Many hours of open bar last night tried to kill me but I made it :P I'll try and jump on this evening and let you guys know my gamertag :)
