Yeah Robin, come on ahead.
Geese, no friggin' gazebo this time. And no fly-away instructions. The neighbours' bouncy castle will also be bolted down.
Weather on Saturday looks okay (Friday will be wet).
What size tap do you need for the sump ? I still have one from my FMII, must search it out

I should have the tap and drill etc in a box somwhere but if you have one that'd be great.
Hopefully weather will hold up

Geese, I have the tap from the greddy upgrade, its a 3/8 NPT (national pipe thread), quite a big fecker, you will need the larger size tap handle.
Give me a call if you need it.

I've got a 1/2" hose barb and a 22mm drill bit
a 3/8" would be great but I'd need the correct hose barb for her.

I would but they don't take overseas orders off the web and they don't seem to answer my emails.
I had to get my bipes off BEGI in the states after 2months of trying to get it from Mx5mad I even called ya man he asked me to email "paul" of which i got one reply.
hey they don't want my cash obviously

Strange, i always rang them direct and dealt with Russell, got my turbo and harddog from them no probs.
You could probably make one on a lathe, i will bring the one i have out to franks on sat you can take a look.

After all the "hard" pre-NCT work I did at Frank's last weekend, the car passed no bother this morning
Damn thing hadn't been tested in 6 years but everything was well within the limits. Interesting things for anyone facing theirs:
1. Car is a 93 so AFAIK it's meant to have a cat - it doesn't
2. Front plate is a sticky with proper lettering etc and no comment on it even though technically it's not thick enough, supposed to be 2.5mm
