Winters in silver. Done.

No you don't. Did mine myself and it wasn't a difficult job, just not a lot of room. No where near as bad as people make out though, you've just got to keep jacking the engine up and down to get to different bits. 100% needs two people to do it in the engine bay well doesn't need but if...

Aye, sorry I left early. Absolutely knackered and I'll be in the office until early hours of the morning Saturday from 9am so needed to get home. Anyone else notice how awesome all the cars looked lined up when they left the pub? Would have made a great picture that in low level sun.

You're on your third MX5 and you've owned an MR2... And not a cool one

Well apparently my brakes are fine and bedded in properly and that's coming from someone who has ran the same setup on a ph1 and a cup and its just me being fussy. Bit disappointed really as they don't inspire any confidence at all. Will just have to get used to them.

Just leaving now. Anyone there yet?

Might take you up on that another time. Dads birthday on Sunday so I won't be free, i'll be giving it a go bleeding them with the engine running on Saturday and then giving them another go at bedding in (just in case they were seriously glazed over). Cheers

LOL!

Me.

LOL! That car was the sheddiest thing in the world, and even that had better brakes. They were warped as s**t too! This seemed to be a common theme with that car:

Yeah I'm a pikey, I'm not THAT much of a pikey.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of...b*****d. When I bled it the first time round I did get a LOT of air from the rear drivers calliper but no where else. Every time since however I've had nothing.

Now that's just confused me LOL. So what are we thinking, try it with the engine running and go from there?

I was touching wood. The fleshy kind. You do things to me...

Yep been keeping it over full if anything and then letting it bleed through to a good level. But as I've said earlier in the thread, when I got the car under cornering hard the warning light came on for low fluid. Now I don't think it was loosing fluid as such but I'm guessing that whoever...

Don't start lol. On the plus side tonight is the first time I've really given the engine any stick and it pulls really well. At least that isn't fucked eh!

Yeah, your left and right has me confused though as it's late and I'm tired. It was: Passenger rear Drivers rear Passenger front Drivers front And JoeyD I've bled them a total of 3 times now including the fluid flush.

Don't think so. I bled the brakes when I got it as they were cack and when it came to changing the pads and discs etc there was no change, and between fitting the brakes and flushing the fluid there was no change.

Yeah, pedal goes very spongey, nothing happens for the first bit of travel and then it's just no feel and poor braking effort. I will give bleeding them with it running a try, what difference does that actually make though?

That's my thinking tbh. I'm hoping, however that it's just a vacuum issue tbh.

Callipers are fine, checked them when I was swapping the pads and discs over. And yeah there is only x number of things it could be, but it's finding that issue as we both know how much I detest paying someone else to do something.

I doubt it. There is no way the owner before me would have kept it for 4 years with the brakes as they are. And it 100% wasn't him that fitted them.

Been out in it tonight to my favourite private runway to go through the bedding in process properly. I'm still seriously unhappy with the brakes, it's gotta be a bigger issue somewhere. They still feel like I've got serious brake fade and braking hard takes a lot of effort, I'm wondering if...

Looks really nice this. Far better than the usual JDM shite people do. Will hopefully see it at oulton at some point in the summer.

Fitted my missing exhaust clamp replacement. Can no longer see the exhaust hanging down :) Miles happier with the fit.

Looking really smart now but I have to agree with previous comments. The last thing I'd want to remove is the fuel rail guard.

Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg I see the countdown to selling has begun

No worries. I'll sort it with him then
