Where are you located? I'm out east and I have access to a gaurd roller, although I can't guarantee your paint not cracking. I've done quite a few cars, some crack, some don't, but the age of your paint probably has a bit to do with it. Like the S2000 and S15 I've done didn't crack, but the mx5's ar...

sorry, off topic a bit...

Does anyone know what hubcentric rings will fit our mx5? 66.1 or 67.1?

Thanks

Have you had the car corner weighted since doing the conversion? It'd be interesting to see how much the weight differs and in which areas.

Nice mod, I might whip together a dying seagull for my car in the holidays.

What GC's. I've heard many good things from them, dealt with them once too, seem like a good bunch.

When are the springs going in? It'd be good to see your impression of the new setup

Just out of curiousity, where did you take your springs to be tested, and what did they charge?

oops, didn't get a notification for this... The series 5 was well balanced, bit tired being an old mazda, and had some usual old-car problems (nothing major, but just annoying). Thirsty, but unique (and loud :lol: ) Usual rotary traits; non-existant torque below 3000, engine vibration gets smoother ...

Slightly off topic, but.. from what I understand, the shocks in the coilover are matched to specific spring rates. A lot of coilovers have a specified tolerance to how stiff/soft a spring rate you can run. Usually +/- 2kgmm from whatever it comes with. Too stiff or too soft may lead to premature wea...

Slydit, where did you get the gfb one from? Also, I want to start adding a couple of gauges, boost being one. Any one recommend a good brand and supplier, I am lead to believe the supecheap and repco stocked ones aren't the greatest.....? I have a manual boost gauge, and since adding my boost contr...

As stated, a quality manual boost tap will hold boost well. The only times I can recall that my boost levels varied, were due to super cold nights, or hot muggy summer days. But that will happen regardless of electric or manual b/c. If you can afford electronic, it can offer many benefits over manua...

Haha, I've seen this pop up on forums. Would totally rock one

I'm not sure if you're referring to this one, but either way this has given me some good info in the past.

It can be specific to the year/model too, which is always handy.

Ah ok. Yea, thats what I was thinking. I guess for a slow car like mine, it'd probably benefit from initiating with a clutch kick or feint. Handbrake probably slows the car too much lol

Thanks for the help mate

Thanks for the info. Could you share a bit more about your hydraulic setup? I know Nick with the white NA6 used a hydraulic handbrake setup too, but I hadn't really thought about going this route, as it would still be a road legal car.

Hi everyone, I'm having a real hard time locking the rears wheels up on my na6 (probably due to below average pads). My question is, would upgrading just the rear rotor/caliper off the na8 + some decent pads + readjusting my brakelines allow me to lock it up easier? Is anyone able to lock the rears ...

Thanks for the advice guys.

Btw Timmo, that's an interesting wing. Excuse my ignorance, but is it a factory option?

To be honest, I'm not sure where to ask. I would also prefer the weld-in. Any suggestions?

/sorry to hijack

Series 5 RX-7 turbo
MR2 turbo
S14K (toy)
MX5 (current DD/skidpan car)

The MX5 is the only car that hasn't seen the track yet haha

That's a cool colour man. Do you mind me asking what the rollbar cost you? I'm deciding whether to go welded or bolt-in

Someone sent me a really nasty one where they crash and there are bodies flying everywhere, and someone's arm gets ripped off.

Today was great fun. Until they turned on the sprinklers...

$40, can't complain
I wish there was more time to get to talk to people, but half days don't leave much time for that! Was good seeing MX5's out there

Fitted some new BC golds. Drives wonderful.

Tomorrow, fitting the hard top kit ^^

I may be parting with my brand new 3 week old BC golds to pay for a root canal. PM me if you're interested.

Will you be planning to go to knuckles later? Or just stick with those iconcept RE's? I'm looking to do knuckles, but not sure if the factory brake lines will reach on full lock?

any updates on this? Me and a friend would be keen to get some stainless ones.
