New Members Apply Here
 

We have hit some complex issues with updating the forum software which means the whole process will take longer than initially thought.

Because of this delay we are re-opening the forum to new members BUT visitors wishing to join will have to apply directly to the Haynes webmaster by email. The address is on the haynes.co.uk Contact Us page.

This a bit laborious, and Haynes apologise for the inconvenience, but it should keep the spammers at bay.

Still getting spam, and the 'New Posts' button at the top hasn't been working lately.... Is all the software now updated?

Any update on the upgrade and unlocking new user registration?

Thanks

TT

Have a mate who is building a Haynes Roadster and wants to register. What is the procedure please?

Looks like now there's just one: use http://www.roadster-builders.co.uk/ instead.

New member registration is done by emailing the Haynes group webmaster you need to include which forum you wish to sign up for and your desired screen name, this should take no more than 2-3 days even at weekends.

the required email address webmaster@haynes.co.uk

Ello all finally got registeted :)

Im Gary from Gosport in Hampshire


I am building a Talon flat pack using mx5 for donor im hoping to turbo it or charge but thats a way off yet, been getting loads of tips and pointers from RichardH on here been very helpful,

got my wishbones direct from Talon and worth every pennie spot on, i expect ill be popping in loads as my build moves on


ta for now Gary :D

hi Gary welcome to the forum, don't forget pictures , lots of pictures , we like pictures. lol
more importantly there is a lot of help if needed so don't be afraid to ask, no matter how daft it may seem.
good luck with the build from another Gary .....
:) have a look through my build thread (progress at last) mx5 , eaton s/c :)
may give you some ideas

Hi Gary

Cheers for that, i have been lurking in the back round for a couple months looking at the builds,

Was thinking of sticking turbo on mine until i see yours, how do you think the emissions will be IVA time?

using me tablet or phone to get on line as laptop has died but when get that sorted i will start posting

Gary :)

haha that's a good question :)
as its a 2003 1.8 it has to meet bet or cat1 tests, I have a wideband o2 to help keep an eye on the fuelling, and I'm using the std ecu at the moment according to the gauge its pretty much where it should be with regard to air/fuel,
I used the original maf and moved the air temp sensor to after the intercooler so the ecu "should" be reading and therefore fueling fairly accurately....... so fingers crossed, although once iva is booked (hopefully shortly) I will see if the local garage will do an emissions run for me.
I think it is either skov or stots build he has gone an mx5 1.6 with turbo, to give you a perspective on the other side of forced induction
Look forward to seeing your build and I have family in Basingstoke so not to far away from you, so be wary of prying eyes when I visit them come summertime :)

Small world, I'm not far from you in Titchfield. There's another local to us, SeriesLandy I think was their screen name, Havant way I believe.

Gary

Let me know when your down that way pop round for a brew

Norton

It's a small world had a look at your build progress coming along nicely


Won't be getting any time this week in garage as I start week of nights tonight :(

I'm not far from you. Rowlands Castle.

Brews all round then :)
