The race car is plumbed how you will need yours plumbed with no ABS in the system. I have this valve on the link below just controling the rears.  I will have to go over to the workshop next week to get 2 new engines sent out so I will take some pictures

Thanks Clive

Does anyone know what has happened to Haywards rotary? Has he packed up completely or started a different place up?

2010 onwards needs to have ABS installed or its automatic mot fail. How do you anticipate running a speedo?
The ABS basically works as the brake bias valve. Electronic brake distribution they call it. EBD (?)
you are best linking the rear lines with a Tee piece and have the brake bias valve before the tee piece. I used to run this on my 205 gti without trouble.
I'll take a pic of the brake unions you'll need.


Sorry life has been a bit shit at the moment. Not had chance to get on here.

Haywards is still going I believe. Website is closed. Do you need his number?

Nice one. Needles to say this car won't be going on the road. If it does in think I know a guy or just bolt the Abs unit in place and have some wires hanging out so technically the car "has" Abs lol

Don't need Carl's number, it just says permanently closed when you Google Haywards rotary that's all so thought he'd packed up or something

James has said they will mark the price down to sort import. Duty anyway, although I do have some relatives in Australia though

Well I think an mx5 is made to fit an intercooler behind the front bumper, fits perfect
