I used to get to the event when they ran it (2001, 2003), but didn't see the listing until just today - it was last weekend. A fun event typically.

2. RE: rebuild or part out? (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 10:10:05 -0700 (MST); I agree with Dan - trying to restore and come out ahead is typically a losing battle. Look for a better example. I did keep track of my receipts on my '67 MGB - which I bought in 1995 or so. Includin; /html/mgs/2006-03/msg00113.html (11,283 bytes)

I have an A with a B motor (i.e. 1800) and I have a chrome bumper B with overdrive. I enjoy driving the A more, and with the B motor, it feels faster (whether it really is or not).; /html/mgs/2006-02/msg00034.html (7,153 bytes)

Re: And, I make S curves as I drive down the road (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 10:48:57 -0700 (MST); Don't know the problem for sure, butone thing I would do is make sure that your U bolts (the ones that bolt the rear axle to the leaf springs) are tight. It is fairly well documented that loose U bol; /html/mgs/2006-02/msg00229.html (9,927 bytes)

That said, I'd take it on myself (and I have. Depending on your springs, you may very well need a spring compressor to do it (but I didn't need one - my shock cam; /html/mgs/2006-02/msg00261.html (9,090 bytes)
7. Re: spring fever approaches - now lotus (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 14:00:20 -0700 (MST); I don't remember how much it was, but I was that the new Lotus Elise and Exige are an extra charge to not have air conditioning (i.e. for lightness).

8. Re: MGA RAG TOP air leak (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2006 16:33:39 -0700 (MST); I tried the foam, didn't help. The best thing you can do is have the flap that goes in front of the windsheld frame be a really snug seal. At this point I'm considering putting on an aftermarket lock; /html/mgs/2006-01/msg00015.html (7,718 bytes)
9. PCV system - MGB (score: 1): Author: Phil Bates <jello@ida.net>; Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2006 03:08:30 -0700; Ok, I have an odd PCV question. I know the ultimate answer - my rings must be worn, and I shouldn't have positive crankcase pressure - but I'm looking for some interim measures. Here goes.

If you still drive your MG in the winter, you need to double check the anti-freeze concentration - which I found out today. Mine didn't freeze,; /html/mgs/2005-12/msg00048.html (9,111 bytes)

The general question was - how can I get a freeze plug in my MGA engine without taking out the engine.

I did order leather seats from Prestige - they are leather on just the seating faces. I'm not going to say I highly recommend Prestige, but; /html/mgs/2005-10/msg00153.html (8,459 bytes)

It's enough to say that gear oil (a.k.a. 80 wt or heavier) is inappropriate for an overdrive gearbox. Other than that, pretty; /html/mgs/2005-09/msg00070.html (8,707 bytes)

19. Re: Overeating (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 09:14:37 -0600 (MDT); Rick's right. Cars overeating will cost plenty in the long run. Make sure it gets a balanced diet of oil, coolant, and fuel. At the prices of those three lately, you want the balance just right. Oh,; /html/mgs/2005-09/msg00189.html (7,415 bytes)

Most MGB's run compression from 145 to 160. I'm surprised to see 175 on any of them - but it's not outside of what a high compression MG en; /html/mgs/2005-09/msg00222.html (7,072 bytes)
