I’ll let you guys know how I get on with it

This is what you should be making a fuss about unsure if this is DOB of magnalium rim fame ?

In my experience just get an echo TR,I don’t know of anything else really worth running.

could get a through axle made that’s nutted one end and takers down to 10mm either end ?

yes Luke! Be good to see you again You should

The usual affair , meet at copthorne at 11, roll on through Plymouth then stop for some food together. Everyones welcome even if you don’t currently ride!

Kinda my only riding video through 2018. Aboard an ozonys curve v4 24. Feel a bit meh about the whole thing apart from a couple of clips onwards and upwards for next year though https://youtu.be/ydoJDiqM1EA

You're clearly a really good rider mate, but please don't go the Inspired clone route in a quest to get views. MASSIVELY overdone by now, and unless you're fully committed to it I doubt you'll get too far as everyman and his dog is 180'ing down some stairs or tyre tapping off low ledges Big TGS video, big moves, less suspense, less build-up. Maybe some commentary at the end of it all, along the lines of move X was super hard, took ages to nail or line Y I snapped a pair of forks on so was worried trying it again etc etc....

There’s a couple of Facebook groups / chats if you want adding to them

Just to be super awkward i prefer the logos looks very clean though

That frame will be 135mm spacing , so I would personally look at a 2011-2015 echo pure 26”. Everything you’ve got will be compatible , it’ll be lighter with more modern geometry that won’t be too extreme.

Spec looks fairly good , frame would be the thing I would change

I don’t ride street trials , but use these tyres on echo sl rims.... 25psi rear 18ish front

I really don’t know , if I had vagcom I could check the outputs from each sensor whilst the car was moving. shit biscuits do you know if they need coding ? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183282838139

Argh having a nightmare getting the Audi through an Mot. Abs and esp lights on all the time . Had it scanned and called for right rear abs sensor to be replaced . Now it’s been replaced the lights are on all the time as opposed to being an intermittent fault. Abs ecu also looks pretty unhappy. Any ideas what to try next ? Loads of other random codes coming up too , that I’m choosing to ignore as I just don’t have time / money to chase them.

As I couldn’t go to Radfest this year I’ll be at tarty Heading up from Cornwall

Really enjoyed that Rich , must ride with you soon loved all the taps and a big variety of spots

Tyre recommendations for the mx5 ? got some hankook Ventus brand new x2... need another 2. For “spirited “ road driving , very occasional track use. 195/45/16 and around £50 each ideally . https://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2KuXsZzd2wIVb5PtCh0SrQD1EAQYBSABEgK6rvD_BwE&dsco=110&typ=R-118050&partner=1&partner=1&Country=UK&ID=sea_rd_uk_Froogle_Shopping&partner=1&Country=UK&ID=sea_rd_uk_Froogle_Shopping&s_kwcid=AL!432!3!209143367941!!!g!!&ef_id=WyemtwAAAJPj61m2:20180618123359:s

Thanks man it’s coming along slowly ; boost is on the cards once it’s taken off the road again ( assuming it makes it onto the road this year ha )

New ME221 ECU

Posted Today, 11:28 PM A few parts back from sandblasting. Engine mounts Also started stripping the calipers apart for a set of new seals. Drilled and tapped the banjo bolt out at M6 to suit a grease nipple, used a spacer to block the banjo holes and a grease gun to force the seized pistons out from their bores. Rear piston in need of some scotchbrite Also managed to get all the exhaust manifold nuts removed, copper greased and replaced.

Posted Today, 11:17 PM The old gearbox had a tendency to jump out of first, unfortunately the new box that was purchased had suffered from water ingress. Pulled the new box apart to figure out how it all worked, then tackled the second. Turned out the synchro for first gear had loads of instant gasket sealant stuck in it preventing it from fully engaging, Hopefully this will remedy the issue.

engine bay sprayed in 2k PZ gloss black

Decided to get the engine bay sprayed first so got everything masked off , 320 grit wet and dried the whole lot with some small rotary wire brushes for the awkward areas then put down some MIPA Etch Primer for the bare metal parts.
