Re: GV and Rev 9's Co*k up repair panels....

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.

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...

Interesting new conversion. V6 MX5

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.
