Well, I said goodbye to both of the ET's today.
New ride is a 1st Gen Mazda MX6 Turbo.

Maybe one day I'll get another N12, but until then I'll just troll the forum, adding my 1.75c wherever it isn't wanted or required.

Cheers
Jay

Stated volume of 3.7L for a dry fill (Dry being oil from sump and filter). Filters can hold 500mL or so (I don't have one handy to check actual amount). You drained 3L. Assuming you didn't remove the filter and include the oil inside it 3L drained + 500mL in filter = 3.5L. Just under the 3.7L stated...

My handbrake was stuck on for ages. Same deal, would drive and it would release, then one day it didn't. I jacked the rear up, sprayed the cables and mechanisms with WD40, Used a pair of multigrips to force each side to open and close several times, and haven't had an issue since. I hadn't driven it...

It looks like the blue section of your car is the same colour mine is supposed to be. http://imageshack.us/a/img534/6845/20121126115330.jpg The paint name/code for it is, Light Sapphire Lustre - Clr549 As for the rims, I haven't seen any up my way painted white before, I am guessing that the vast ma...

I wouldn't have thought this was from rings unless they are missing entirely. I'd be inclined to pull the Rocker cover off and make sure there is a full range of motion on the valves, and that the rockers are set to the correct specs. Every time I've had issues with piston rings, a wet comp-test alw...

Re: down low grunt

1.21 Jiggawatt Flux Capacitor? There is actually a 40-something year old lecturer, at my University, who teaches electronics and pronounces "giga" as "jigga". "JiggaWatts" "JiggaBytes" "JiggaPascals" "JiggaHertz" etc. etc. The funniest thi...

Any of the lettered decals can be had from This post. Looks the same as the S1 decals. Just ask the vinyl cutter to not cut to Orange parts. If you measure the diameter of a single circle I can get the S2 decals drawn up pretty quick and upload them for you. Edit: I knew there was a reason I was stu...

Yeah I kinda realised that you were taking-the-piss. But then I went to uni... Some of the "younger" students doing Engineering degrees just so happen to be stupid enough to not use auxiliary switches, but rather hook it up to the remote receiver. So while we were stuffing around making fu...

I was thinking more along the lines of wiring them to two press buttons inside the cockpit rather than to the receiver for the Central Locking. Just for that "modern" electrical opening of Hatch and Fuel Flap, because leaning down with your hand and using the floor mounted lever is way har...

What E said. Make sure the actuators are lined up as best you can. I'd even make brackets to position them in line if they were needed. Linear actuators are (surprisingly) "Linear". They don't really like to push/pull at an angle, especially the cheaper made ones. Other than that the only ...

Sounds kind of like what happened when the circlip came off my actuator. Held the wastegate shut, then when I let the power off, it slipped and the wastegate stayed open, was basically running N/A.
