Lucien i regard myself as i fairly confident person in the way of mechanics. Im 24 now and im assuming your 23 as thats wat it says on your details but damn mate you know your shit! Smart guy, thats for sure. How did you have this much experience and still be so young? Ive been working on cars since a very young age. Got my first car at 14, but you have more knowledge on alot stuff than me!

Anyway before your head grows too big and you cant get thru doorways no more i'll stop!

While im here how do you knwo if you need to replace the ancillary blets ..Mine arent too bad looking but they are all off so i was thinking to swap em over. One looks a tad worse than the other 2 ...how should i decide?

I don't know if you are taking the piss or just delusional ;) Seriously, I don't know that much, I just try and learn from the many far smarter people on these forums like SteveL, SydneyKid, Roy, Duncan, etc, etc, etc. I also try and do as much on my car as I can: no better way to learn than first hand experience! I imported a GT-R a little while ago so I have been through all these steps already ;)

My understanding is its no great problem if one of the ancilliary -- ie. aircon, powersteering -- belts breaks, assuming it doesn't damage anything when it snaps. If they look a bit frayed, I'd just replace them anyway as they aren't likely to be all that pricey. No direct experience in this area (my belts looked fine :)), so maybe someone else can comment.

Yeah i imported the same car as you at teh same time. Not taking the piss out of you just giving you a compliment buddy. Mine arent all that bad so i'll just leave the current ones i think.

Thank you: my reply was tongue-in-cheek :)

    • Can't see that being a thing.
    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
