mehnin shane..

teh car is booked in to get raised, and apparently i need some offset bushes to fix my steering lol

is it a good idea to cut some metal off my exhaust flange, i need to get 2cm more clearance was thinking raise the car 1-1.5cm and cut the flange for the extra bit.

hey isaac

sif pay to get ur car raised lol :laugh:

to lift it up? if its sagging down, yeh id cut the flange to lift it bak up, just make sure theres no nasty angles, or u could run into problems with leaking gaskets etc

nah i figured i'd get my steering fixed aswell as the car often wants to send me off the road into a tree when i let go of the steering wheel (pulls quite violently to the left) as one tyre shop put it when they said the fixed the problem but didnt - "mate at least its on the 'safe' side of the road not pulling into oncoming traffic" dodgy kernts

and i dont quite follow your flange advice. I meant the flange on my exhaust is the lowest point, was going to snip a bit of it away with a grinder or something to give me a bit more ground clearance.

    • What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.
    • I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL
    • Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"  
    • I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
    • So far so good, another hour and their done
