  1. Theres a few riders Plymouth way, and a pocket of us down in Cornwall
  2. July 15th, Castle Park 10am Would be great if we could get a good attendance to start the Summer https://www.facebook.com/events/1439446739450830/?acontext={"ref"%3A"29"%2C"ref_notif_type"%3A"plan_user_associated"%2C"action_history"%3A"null"}&notif_t=plan_user_associated&notif_id=1498486606059818
  3. The newer one looks to have wear rings or backup rings installed . The former will help support the piston and prevent scoring against the bore ; the latter will allow the o ring to tolerate higher pressures without extruding / deforming ( not needed due to the low pressures involved )
  4. Few of us Cornish headed up See you there
  5. For the bottom bracket height of the stock the front end is likely far too high as mikeee has pointed out, hence... lose most of the spacers
  6. This ... Also, I'm the same with the 6-7 pallet scenario and I know a few others who top out also. Seems to be going above bar is quite a mental barrier.
  7. If it were me I'd run 1t heavier maximum than on pure trials bike. E.g. 18:14t with 175mm.
  8. Mx came out with the Echo
  9. New roof went on the MX5 yesterday night, got a mohair with heated glass for £50. Also hopefully sorted out a sticking front caliper piston. Ibiza's all been MOT'd just waiting for a dry day to machine polish some marks out and get her listed and sold
  10. Congrats Mr. Rain bird ! Ibiza failed its mot ; brake pad seperate from its backing on the way to the mot tester , cv joint gone and excessive tyre wear on inner edge. Shit Managed to fit the aux belt in the Audi in an evening , bit of a shitter taking the front end off to get to it.
  11. b*****d alternator belt on the Audi just shredded itself due to aux tensioner pulley collapsing , and the MX aux belt is now squealing as soon as I started it ! Fuuu....... ibiza now has a working handbrake , and new wiper motor so fingers crossed for MOT tomorrow so I can get her sold and make more room for the Mx work
  12. The disc tab is machined down because the NDS Spacer has also been machined down.... keeps proper alignment
  13. I don't know then haha sounds the same as the YouTube version above to me
  14. So... bought myself an Mx, far earlier than anticipated but it was cheap and very local highlights include a minidisc changer , leaky roof , hole in rear wheel arch , welded diff and a slightly dodgy first gear but apart from that it's a cool little car Jasper Conran ltd edition mk2 1.8 Love how it drives , but makes the Audi feel like pure luxury haha now got to pull my finger out and get the Ibiza through an mot to get some space to work on the 5!
  15. Thanks for the comments guys , much appreciated !
  16. Tap an oversized torx bit into the the allen key head
  17. Really good that was
