I can bring a gallon of Tab's home made sauce!, and hundreds of paper plates and paper towels.

Obviously I'll be doing the timing belt and water pump, and perhaps changing the brake and clutch fluid. (once the engine's cooled down) :lol:

Mikey, I'll give you a PM about that if you like?

You need a hand with the brake and clutch fluid, Jules??

I'll help you Mr Tooth - I'll pump the pedal(s) and you can pour brake fluid all over the car and we'll see if it sucks in somewhere :mrgreen:

NOT FROM YOU!
Do you have a single hex socket for the crank and cam bolts, or know the size?

The bolts on the end of the camshafts which hold the pulleys on have 14mm heads. I have two shifters and a clamp we can use to lock the cams in place to remove the pulley wheels without issue.

MonSqueek, the bulbs look like this:

you can use those lil orange bulbs... depends how you want to do it.

I chose to make the large section the parkers and make the lil section on the outside the indicators... it makes for some very effective parkers!
Basically i switched them around.

Involves a lil bit or wiring but nothing major, only downside is that your indicators blink faster, but that just means the idiots around ya will take more notice!

Oh, that one. I don't have a pic of those ones (yet).

There will be interesting (bling) stuff for people to check out (MX5 related) on the day.

Someone mentioned DVDs of Top Gear? The lap top will be in place - might even bring down the bigger LCD monitor.

I have the Miata Performance project manual as a how to for just about everything, and oil drain pans, brake bleed kit, all sorts of tools, etc etc etc.

I have vehicle stands if needed, and a trolley jack. If you want/need vehicle ramps or additional stands you will need to bring them.

All will be available on the day.

For jobs requiring concrete hardstand area to work on - best to get to my pleace earlier rather than later - Jules - you in particular - waterpump and timing belt is a bit of a timeconsuming exercise - I'll put your car where mine normally is.

This is gonna be HUGE, and I will also tell everyone that my birthday is the Wednesday prior, so offerings of cake, beer and (car) bling are always welcome

I reckon Jules' job can be wrapped up pretty quickly. BTDT

I'll bring along:

150W floor halogen light
dual 500W halogen on stand
the flourescent worklight
Double adaptors
Permatex, maniseal
Big + small toolboxes
3/8\" ratchet set
Torque wrench
Two shifters + quick release C-clamp (for Jules' timing belt)
Wiss snips (I'm doing my front grill
Paint (see above)
Marker pen (again)
Screwdriver set
Electrical stuffs
Couple of rags
Bleeder kit
Brake fluid

I think that should cover it??

I can also bring along Top Gear episodes and the like assuming someone else doesn't have the whole of the last season.

Do you want me to come around earlier, so the car can cool down. I can bring a DVD an popcorn and my pyjamas if you like

?
