Beautiful old Porsche doco.

Not mx5s, but a great short film about an LA Porsche customiser.
Beautiful cars, well shot.
Long at over 30 mins but well worth it I think...

They are used. Came in a car I bought and brought them over into a car recently. No idea re spring length. I guess I would have to disassemble them to check this?

Springs captive.

Yes I think they are. The struts are similar to a good motorcycle strut with full thread adjustable spring height.
I suppose my question was is an NA strut shorter than an NB?

Who builds a good exhaust in auckland?

Hello all...
I have just acquired a very nice low mileage 89.
As I don't have to have a cat, I'm thinking of having a good exhaust made.
Who's good in Auckland nowadays? Is Woolf still going or any other suggestions? I need headers too.....
