man, just putting a wheel back on ruins me (knees)... certainly with the cold weather.

nasty stuff with no patella's

got all this stuff on the go with the r32 rb26 but cant muster the will in my knees to do anything.

so so need a car hoist, and hell a heated garage with plug-in knee warmers would be nice

do u wear pressure braces on ur knees? probably a dumb question but i use em on my wrists for RSI

sounds like u need some bionic knees dude, either that or get em chopped off and get a couple of struts bolted to ur femur and get urself a spare rim and run a single toyo r1r on it...

ive got a box of baking soda in the kitchen

just trying to work out what mixture to use as the last time i did it , well failed epicly because corrosion is back again ...

Baking Soda is what pro mechanics use with warm water , no real trick to doing it , but you must prevent corrosion by taking that battery out , which by the way its illegal to use a wet cell battery in the boot of your car ADR without proper venting,drain holes. and as you can see , there a crappy battery that farks everything when it spills. buy a gel cell or AGM battery and redo the connectors , no more corrosion from acid

plus the car will thank you by starting easier

boiling water does sweet fark all , unless you want to make things steamy too..lol or if you rinse with it.

you can get a battery spray that coats the terminals with some redish oily crap to seal the corrosion off, might find it in a boat store , haven't seen it in normal car shops here in OZ

Good news Luke!

In other news, dropped my head off to Rhemac tonight, wicked set up they have going there, some serious work gets pumped out of there! Bad news is I left there with more options, and unfortunately, more money to spend. It's more of a case as to how far do you go, you need to draw the line somewhere, I just don't know where that is

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
