Excellent news, glad you got it sorted

Looks like a nice little machine and ready for fun on track Only had time to watch the first couple of minutes of the vid - going well

You can defo get a V8 in there, I have a V8 itch to scratch but the LS400 is not that powerful the 430 3uz engine is around 300HP which makes it worthwhile IMO of course the big thing with a V8 is the Torque. You can get 200 + out of the standard engine but not those torque figures. Then you have the rear axel to think about, depending on who you listen to they are not great above 250HP others say more. The good old LS conversion in the USA seems to use Ford diffs. Not so easy to find here. Then you need to change the LS400/430 from auto to manual, adapters are available but add £3000 for the plate clutch and gearbox. Nothing that can't be done just have to look at how much it costs for what you will get I'm doing man maths on it at the moment so it becomes justifiable Still reading up on what you can do to these, seems to be a good base car if the front arms have not rusted out - will look at that when I get her on the ramps.

The thought had crossed my mind, back to the original problem of no where near to practice, not that I have ruled it out completely though

Yup this is me - besides you don't have to use all the power if it's all setup right, its how the power is delivered that matters so I can have big numbers and still make it drivable. All I have done so far is read about options, FI what engines go in etc. Probably going to doi a track day in it as is just to see what needs improving before I do more than fit a roll bar. That's the current plan but it might change.

Was speaking to a guy with a turbo'd MX5 at Castle Combe last week he uses the standard turbo from a Subaru recons you can get them cheap and 240 - 280 HP is achievable. Not sure how much power I want probably stupid amounts I have the 1.8 which apparently is not the best for FI so may have to look at an engine swap or a built engine if I want silly numbers.

Second person to recommend TR Land for cages so looks like I will be getting a bar or cage from them, Thanks Not heard about the door bushes I'll look into it

Well that sucks, liked the video though Look forwards to seeing the Mk2

Welcome along

^^^ who is this stranger @Darren-B who claims to have owned such a thing???? I had one once as well - long, long time ago I think it was the one in that photo above.

Took my daughter to look at a new car last week, nothing special, very sensible and practical, it's a Mazda 2, pleasant little hatchback with low mileage and 1 owner from new, She decided that it was the one for her (it was a nice colour ) anyway when it came to talk trade in they made such a low offer on her old car, I laughed and said I'll give her more than that for it..............................So I did I now own - A nice little 05 Mazda MX5 MK2.5 Icon At the time I thought if nothing else it will be a fun track car when the weather goes and the Radical is not an option, Been looking at kits and things to do, I need a roll bar or cage, some suspension and then maybe (definitely) a little more POWER!! Suggestions welcome this could be my new project cause I just love to tinker Keyser

Looking good mate

They are here ................ The sign is now here ............ All good

Sold - mods please lock Thanks

Still here mate - they won't fit in a Zed though! More than welcome to them if they are any use to you

I'm surprised it took 3 weeks to start the mods Do keep us informed of the changes

This one was mentioned to me by @Jetpilot this week, bit closer - may have to go check it out

New home found for these - mods please lock.

@danielb186 Well that's an improvement Do it again, the whole thing so wedge the pedal down overnight and bleed again in the morning, sounds like it is 90% of the way there though. Only downside of lowering the clutch biting point is it reduces the pressure on the pedal to return it back so that can be part of the cause of the sticking. Try the bleed again and you may just have to lift the biting point a small amount.

Noted mate I'll let you know

Yes but apart from all that circuit board nonsense - is it done yet ??

I leave it down all night then release it - normally after this you find you get at least some clutch if not all. After it has been released my preferred method is to have a friendly assistance pump the pedal 3-5 times then hold down hard while the bleed nipple on the slave is loosened, closed then repeat usually only takes about 3 cycles to get the clutch back working after that. Keep an eye on the reservoir though it's easy to empty it when bleeding and then its back to square 1. Hope that helps

I thought that power bleeders won't work on 350's due to the regulator valve thing in the main hard line - it's behind the arch liner to the rear of the passenger side wheel arch??? I've had a couple that would not bleed up properly and the solution has always been bleed it until you can pump the pedal and get some pressure, wedge the pedal down using a length of wood and if you have them the electric seats (protect the seat) Leave it over night we probably left them 8 - 10 hours Now a quick bleed should do it or in some cases nothing more was required. They can be a real PITA - good luck
