jeeeez....that looks awefully long....mine will be half that length at least, is the mx5 box really that short?

So when is the first drive? :)

Well done john, made me smile when I saw you crack a smile! My little buy said over the noise "Why is he turning it on when it's not ready?" Haha!

You had me worried all afternoon Kev, turns out my massive shaft fits perfectly though :D



I was just thinking this morning I hadn't seen you on here for a while Chris!
I'm still a little way from the first test drive yet. I need to get the clutch and brakes working, make the exhaust system, and stop it p!ssing coolant all over the place :mad:
Really looking forward to blasting up and down my drive though!

just realized John ...the sierra diff sits a little way into the trans tunnel and its my g/box that sits a long way back ....it had me thinking (worrying too):confused:

It's that time of year again where I just can't be bothered!:rolleyes:

I know the feeling, my build time's been fairly minimal recently :rolleyes:

Had a successful bank holiday today.
The wife could tell I was hankering to get in the garage and offered to take all the kids out shopping for the afternoon (in return for a fistfull of spending money of course!).
Managed to fabricate my exhaust system and take her out for her first drive :D
Ok, so I only went up and down the drive (largely because the brakes don't work yet), but it was still quite exciting!
I'll stick up some photos of the exhaust later, but here's the first drive video for now:

Well done;)
Did you use the back wall of the garage as a brake?

Must be a very long time sine I did much productive, and going up and down the drive is blocked by the other two projects :rolleyes:

May have a couple of free days a week for the next few months, so perhaps progress on all fronts.
