Yea, but they'll just be track tyres if I ever do get 9s. Saves on worrying about road worthyness.

Pity that 205/50/15 gets frowned upon being put on 15x8s for the road though.

15x8s were out when I went to get these so they're 15x7.5s lol. I'll get the 8s another time. (Or hop to 9s if this does ever get to the "track only" car status)

Spring rates are 500lbs front 400lbs rear. I'll need to email Shaikh about the dyno plots, thanks for reminding me lol.

Kinda old but I noticed it wasn't listed.

It's Mazda USA but it could be handy to get part numbers to ask Mazda NZ about when one gets to needing something. At the very least compare prices.

Yea no worries.

To answer your post on FaceTube, the line is advertised to fit for 1990-1994 (ordered from Good Win Racing last year, just haven't bothered to put it in until I do a clutch change).

Know any other hose shops? I only know GSS. Not sure how much they charge for custom jobs.

I've got a braided clutch line sitting next to me that you can borrow and take to a hose shop like GSS to get some made up?

I had this issue a few months back. I ended up changing a bunch of fuses (I think the manuals posted here should get you a list of what fuses do what etc). Also worth checking the loom under your fuse box in the engine bay. The vibrations that the fuse box went under during driving eventually rubbed...
