You may as well get it direct from Japan as it saves on double handling the product as they'd have to ship it to the states and then ship it here. I was originally going to get it from Goodwin but he needed to order it from Japan which meant delays. Got it direct from Beatrush and it took about a week and a half.

I just emailed Ewan and asked him to buy me this brace:

Just make sure that the mounting points are on your car. Furai will know more about it, I just know my car had them

cheers..have sent him an email.

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Sat Feb 02, 2013 3:38 pm

Actually you have an NB so it'll have it. Make sure you buy the NB brace. I think that was the NA brace

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Sat Feb 02, 2013 3:56 pm

ok.cool..yeah i emailed him pic of the nb one

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Sat Feb 02, 2013 4:20 pm

Yeah all NBs have the points for it to my understanding. Make sure to link the one for NB8C as they are all different.

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Sat Feb 02, 2013 4:59 pm

yeah linked the nb8c one.
works out just over 200nzd to my door from Ewan ..goodwin wanted 215usd shipped so will be going ahead with that.

I'm going to make a jig for an NA6 one if anyone's interested. Will get pics up once I make the first one.

Can't justify buying one when materials are so cheap!

Sounds good

no brace is going to cure this problem the PPF brace will stiffen the diff movment and actually make it more noticeable [did on my car ] if you have a fault with the car i would look at the rear bushes if that is all okay them try lifting the rear of the car by 5 to 10mm .

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Sat Feb 02, 2013 10:34 pm

i dont think i have a problem with the car..its just the 200+hp going thru the back wheels that causing the loose feeling issue I think but the brace I know can make the diff a bit noisier as it ties everything together more but thats fine as get plenty of induction noise now...and the brace should tighten things up...well thats what the research is telling me..it cant hurt to try it anyway

What about your diff bushes? If that's rocking around on its mounts then that could adding some odd sensations to the rear

and opposite to the front as LH uncaptive and RH is captive...had to lower it heaps with the 15s on it and with 17s i had before the springs were never un captive but were wound out differently like now.

Are you sure that you have the front and rear springs on the correct corners. With different length springs you would get the adjustment conditions you describe above and that may be causing your instability.

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 6:25 pm

it appears so(have measured the springs)...may take the springs off and get them tested..sometime

the shimmy isnt to bad..just when the boost hits hard and its fine under usual more gentle acceleration.

Has anyone found a decent Adjustable camber arm for these vehicles? With the new camber laws its a headache getting any decently lowered MX5's certed.

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 11:07 pm

In short, no. The ones that are sometimes on trademe are crap, have heard they dont fit properly and get flogged out easily.
Cant say ive seen any other brands

Edit, looked back through a few threads and it seems that offset bushings in the upper control arm would be a good bet.

There are really only two options extend the RUCA's to add positive camber unlikely to pass cert... if they spot it

Otherwise spend over 1K on some DGM RUCA's when they are released

Cant you get different lower arm bushes that allow more camber correction?

Euen · Post by **Euen** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:03 pm

A bit on the pricey side but Flyin Miata stock the V8 Roadsters bottom front arms which have an extra adjuster on the outer knuckle.

On the rear they put the extra adjuster on the top arm.
