How did you remove the castle rail? I thought that it was spot welded to the floor panel? Also, when you refitted it, did you plug weld it to the floor or just seam weld along the length of the join as visible in the video? Thanks
@reallybrokenalwaysАй бұрын
@mducker1 I drilled the spot welds out on the rail. On refitting some puddle welds were added and then stitched across the floor.

I'm from the Miata community. You seem to be the only person with videos where they push this engine and radiator setup (civic half radiator). How does it do for cooling? Any time this is suggested in a Miata group (so you can run an intercooler next to it) everyone says it will overheat as soon as you drive it hard
@reallybrokenalways Жыл бұрын
100% never overheated on track or road. Not sure why they suggest against it as it was used in the Bengi setups for years. Honda engines are known for being efficient, their cooling system also. So it was obvious to me that the radiator would be perfect, in fact it probably cools the motor too much in winter without a different thermostat. If it's good enough for 400bho K20/24 motors it's good enough for sub-300 MX5 lumps.

I have to do mine i have looked at loads of MGBs the factory ones the doors fit flush at the rear bottom corner most rebuilt ones the doors either stick out or are pushed in. Is there a problem with the repair panels or the door rubbers. I think I noticed that you took off the hinges and then put them back did you fit the doors for finally aligning the outer sill?
@AaronG3032 жыл бұрын
Gday David - the door rubbers are a pain it is super common to hear folk who have issues with them or have to put up with time to "bed them in". An important thing to note is the alignment of the door cards versus the seal. The door cards often have foam do any overlap on the door seals will double your problem. I ensured I had no foam on the leading edge of the door cards where they sat against the seals! Doors required some subtle bending and use of jack to "encourage" positioning them.
