    I can't tell from the pics, is that an English or atlas?

    I like them 1 piece shafts a lot! Expensive?

    Baby Atlas, the half shafts were custom and made to order. Including hub bearings and studs and some postage came to £470 (ex-vat)
    Which I think is really reasonable for a bullet proof solution, considering what the not so bullet proof options cost!

    Apologies for going back so far. But I was just looking back through some threads. Been looking for something like this for ages. Could you tell me if this Clutch slave cylinder is a push or a pull slave please?

    Thanks.

    Ok Thanks... I was just curious, I thought it was a pull type. It is a Pull type cylinder I'm looking for really.
    Thanks again anyway.

    Thanks for that, to be honest I got most of my knowledge here from others threads, so just a matter of read, copy, repeat

    Re: Dubai Mk1 Duratec

    Hello dobuy, how is the car going? just a quick question does the duratec carry a striker plate? I don't know what you call it but its the plate that goes between the engine & the gearbox. I've been told by a Uk engine builder I don't need one but it somehow doesn't sound right but I can't find any nowhere on the internet, I even checked the Ford & mazda parts website.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I believe Neil (dobuy) sadly passed away last year.

    What? I knew Neil personally as he invited me down to his house to have a look at Svetlana when I was living in Dubai.
    Absolute gent of a man and the car was stunning. Last time I heard, he was importing the car to the UK for auction, as he'd bought a race car.
    Guy was a true petrol head.
