Would the CG visit need to be done over a few days or could it be first ferry - last ferry?
If you are prepared to get the 2:30am ferry on a Friday night/Saturday morning (if there is one going Dublin-Holyhead??) then you could do it in "one day" - just a ####ing long one!

I'll post further when I get time, but there was a little extra work required when doing mine(freeing a couple of bushes), and between that and some other customers dropping in (though they knew I wasnt completely tied for time) I arrived at 8:30am and left after 3pm.

Rather than this get lost in a thread on the main forum I said I'd pop it in here, 2 requests

First
Have a guy looking for an engine from an S2000, block must be perfect, condition of head not important, send me your details and I'll forward them on to the guy.

Second
Hardtop fitting kit required, anyone got anything lying about

There's an advert on ebay for an engine in Banbridge, Co Down. I believe we can't put ebay links here but have a search if you haven't seen it already

Not sure if it's suitable or it's condition.

A bit of preliminary/local research here before I go forum trawling...

Anyone give me some suggestions on brake disks with ~3-4 grooves only?

Or somewhere in Leinster that would cut these grooves into some OEM/spurious(Blueprint etc) disks? (I think I know of one place but looking for some further suggestions)

Those running uprated pads - what are you running, and are you running them in the rear also or standard pads in the rear?
I'm looking at either Mintex 1144s or Ferrodo DS2500.

Finally, what companies make braided lines for the car?
