ONE WEEK TO GO!!!......GET YOUR CHORES DONE TODAY ON CAR OR HOUE SO THE WIFE OR GF DOES NOT SHOW THEIR DOMINANCE OVER YOU AT THE LAST MINUTE.

I tried tweezers but they were too wide to fit through the swivel weather plate. I tried a thin pair from a Swiss Army knife but could not apply enough pressure/tension to extract thd remnant of key. I tried to use 2 thin screwdrivers like a pair of chopsticks to no avail. I turned the plate and was...

Good effort Ransom. Bet there will be some envious owners with leaks that think thats s sharp price to keep water out.

Less than 2 weeks to go Folks!!!!

I was suppoeed to post this understand What Have You Done to Roadster Today... the stem of key is visable in lock but behind the swivel plate. I am unable to grab it with my convenional long nose pliers. Does anyone know how to extract the lock barrel to retrieve it or know of a link showing require...

seriously Vita. i would put the turbo on hold until you have had the car for a while...get the suspension and tires and brakes up to scratch and learn to drive the thing at a trackday before going tits in on a turbo. I am all for turbos but getting to know the car before it becomes a weapon is prob...

I want to take some friends from overseas to the hot pools for an afternoon or evening of relaxation.... Which is the nicest facility out of the local options. The choices are as I believe....Miranda. Parakai or Waiwera.... I have not been to any tor about 20 years so would appreciate any feed back ...

My other MX5 Bluey came with a cup holder. It was homemade and was simply a piece of customwood cut to thsle size of the ashtray opening, painted black and a holesaw hole drilled into it to accomodate a can. I found it an annoying position for a drink and use the wedge in technique between passenger...

Well after ordering some fish and chips at the place that was recommended on this island, I was somewhat underwhelmed. I suddenly have a craving for fish and chips at Swashies (obviously along with copious amounts of beer). Anyone down to joining me in a few weeks? Also, anyone know of any good pla...

There are a few good local fish supplers out in the suburbs that no doubt members will recomend their favourite. I did work for the Oceanz franchise and they do resonable fish but I feel that it is overprced for the portion supplied. Generally the shops in the social welfare depend neighbourhoods te...

I fish for a hobby so recognise a good fresh fillet. If I have a craving for a gnaw then I go to a fish shop in Manurewa. Snapper is $3.50 and tarikihi $2.50. Its as close as poss to self caught. Shop is on GSR opposite Halver Rd. I know some others also as I have done fridge repairs in fish industr...

I have to admit I only know what a Mod is thanks to The Mighty Boosh.

Check out the movie Quadrophenia..... the sound track is done by The Who. It was a cult classic movie in its day and a bloody good watch. Plenty of Mods and Rockers action in there.

http://photos.imageevent.com/motorbiker/newspics4/Quadrophenia-Scene.jpg just watch out for those rockers..... (I think we are showing our age GRUVBB :wink: ) I drove onto Harbour Bridge other night and saw a squillion lights beside me on onramp. It was a vespa fully kitted out with lights complete...

I will be coming from out West so keen to have an initial meet in the city about 45 mins prior to Bombay meet. Perhaps meet somewhere close to the motorway and then have a snake cruise down the Southern Motorway. Anyone keen on this and any sensable suggestions of a meeting point???

[quote="Skilfil"]Mind if I advertise on FB once we start to confirm a few things? People need to get their shit together and make a decent turn out.[/quote Good idea. Any objections to the date need to be posted by sunday with reason. FB notification to get posted sunday night. If anyone will have a...

Have edited first post to the new date of Sunday 10 August. I have no issues with date change. Angreal attends plenty events on here so happy to get another attendee.

Its time for another cruise. As this is the third one I have instigated I have set the date for Sunday 10th August. This one will not be as long as the last one but plenty of winding roads well suited to the respective owners of the MX5 fraternity. The plan is to cruise HIGHWAY 22. Meeting place wil...

I have a set of lowering springs which have not been fitted yet. Would get you mobile with the shocks from Snapfrozen... I will remind you if you forget. :wink: you welcome to use them. Im too busy to fit them and GRUVBB is still mobile. Cant seem to stop riding my bike long enough to work on cars. ...

Ouch!!! That gotta hurt in many ways. Sorry to hear the bad news Siren. Sing out if you need a hand with anything. Xcept
