Just dont get how its taken this long to bang an engine in :LOL:

Im trying to convince the wife that a garage rebuild is necessary for our current extension :LOL: I saw these being demonstrated at Autosport a couple of years ago. They seem nice bits of kit.

Cat6/or 5e, if you can route it easily, is nice to have. You can use pairs of Cat6 to form HDMI for example, its also great for taking the load of your wireless if you can have devices hard-wired for streaming etc. That being said you can use Powerline for this if you really wanted to.

Worth doing on Mk3 MR2, rear chassis legs can go crusty, and the lower bulkhead/floorpans near the engine.

Figures that he wouldnt s**t on his doorstep, if people are far away they are much less likely to turn up unannounced!

All of those with good experiences, are you local? This guy was hours away. Wonder if that has a bearing on things.

@mr bognor what you reckon to the door stabilisers? Im after a set. Ive just fitted a hardtop to mine (mainly for winter but its on at the moment), makes a great difference to the handling I think!

@Djw John how is it on longer trips? My alfas a 1.4 petrol turbo with similar power and on long motorway runs can get a bit tiresome. These do tick all the boxes for me next as a dependable, practical 'daily'. Also is the estate actually worth the extra space? I know some estates end up not...

They are all starting to rust now, rivetted on skirts dont help as most have never been off! Mine was going under the seam sealer in the arches.
