Mechanical Maintenance

Post by ANDREAS LUNDH » Mon Nov 26, 2001 11:02 am

Hey Guys!!

Hope all of you are well. Just seeking some
info/advise as I'm about to spend a bit of cash
replacing shocks, springs, clutch and install new
bushes in the stablising bar (name eludes me right
now) underneath front and rear wheels...

With the shock/springs - the aim is to eliminate body
roll - the car handles poorly around corners (without
pushing it hard.

I want at the same time to install K & N filters and
remove clogged catalyitic converter ... however for
those whom have install this, does it improve
proformance all that much...?

Looking forward to your responses...

Many thanks


Andreas

Hi Andreas

Read my earlier post on the MX5 list about shocks, clutch etcwhich I
replaced three weeks ago - the Koni shocks are absolutely fantastic - the
new clutch is magnificent. You will find details of prices paid, who
installed, who I bought from etc on the postings.

Hi Andreas
You'll get good results by;
Fitting K&N filter, advance ign timing to 14 degrees, splitfire plugs.
Remove the cat and replace with a resonator otherwise it sounds crap. It's
also worth arrangeing a cold air feed from the firewall to the airbox. This
should be worth approx 10 HP.
