Couldn't agree more being about to replace mine.
Perhaps newspaper and filler will do its at least as strong as GRP and will save me £100 a side on replacement steel panels.

Re: Suspension bush kit
PPlease don't use polybushes of any sort the squeaking will drive you mad and you will hate driving the car.
Use IL motorsports uprated rubber ,more expensive but you get what you pay for.

Re: Interesting new conversion. V6 MX5
The V6 kit is British and I know about the v8's.Having driven a V8 LS conversion in the states it turns the mx5 into a point and squirt machine completely alien to its original concept we all love. Cannot comment on the Lexus V8 but I suspect it will be very similar. The beauty of the V6 seems to be...

Re: waterless coolant
I have had several cars over the last few years with manufacturer specified fully synthetic oils so I don't think that that is a fair comparison.However no knowledge of waterless cooling just water wetters ie surfactants.

Re: Torsen diffs
According to several guys in the States all the 7 inch ring and pinions are interchangeable.Could be very useful.

Torsen diffs
Does anybody know wether the ring gear and pinion from an open diff or a toffee Fuji? diff will fit in a torsen diff carrier.I may well have a cheap source off torsen diffs minus the ring and pinion.
