Also fitted my a I.L Motorsports front chassis brace so now she doesn't look like a 4x4 and is stiffer.

Got a front Garage Vary lip spoiler on the way.

Will lower it a tad more next week after they settle a bit more.

Adam

How are they then buddy? Can they go much lower as I found they didnt make it go very low when I had them.

Im sticking with the Gaz ones I got on the car until they decide to bugger up I think.

**adam0bmx0** · 21-01-2010, 13:16

Yup they can still go lower, probs about another 1-2" front and back so could have the wheels tucked in the arches but need to keep it practical, im really happy with them, car feels great.

Rodders old one? The FM2?

**ferretca18** · 22-01-2010, 13:18

Loving that one PGD!!!!!!! any more pics?

**aidstap** · 22-01-2010, 13:52

is your acuator(spelling?) bolted on properly? looks like its missing a bolt.
how come everybody is going for the mk1's over 2's?

**ferretca18** · 22-01-2010, 14:01

i think mk2's dont look as good, the pop ups make the mk1 look a bit 'meaner' if there is such a thing for an mx5 lol. Im not a fan of the fixed headlight models.

Yeah looks like its missing one, a lot are like that. I'm not sure if the bolt holes even line up tbh but its still secure. The turbo's off at the mo so I'll check before it goes back on

**AlexRobinson** · 22-01-2010, 14:25

Had a yellow 5 (will post pics when i find some) after having a bump and about to repair it for mum to use again, not looked back once after owning the s14 everything about its better imo

but that 1 is nice PGD

**Cloudy** · 22-01-2010, 14:27

PGD - your car looks fantastic.

TVR-Rob has a great looking MX5 with a turbo etc.

Cool - that looked decent value with the built engine etc..

I should take some pictures of mine at some point - but it's always dirty and it looks a bit tatty compared to all of the show and shine queens posted above

Mine is definately not show and shine

That rear quater in both my shots, the paint is completely fecked it looks like its been sprayed with a spray can and then the lacquer has all come off and the paint underneath as well. there are scrapes all over as well but only when you look closely, the overall look is a good car in a photo though

A shiney Shitter is what it is

**adam0bmx0** · 22-01-2010, 16:19

Ok im now lower on the rear and need to roll the arches lol!!

2 quick pics;

**BreadBin** · 22-01-2010, 16:53

Are they 15x8 et0 Adam? Looks like a roll is all you will need there

**adam0bmx0** · 22-01-2010, 17:00

No mate, 15x8 ET15 with 195/50/15's

Will got over to Channies and get a bar in there.

Tis nice of you to say. Its a 1.6 with uprated injectors, dual feed fuel rail, TD04 turbo at 12psi and a Megasquirt ECU. There are a few other toys like Gaz coilovers, cage, bucket seat and so on. 194bhp at present and I'm off to AFR tuning tomorrow to have it re-mapped to 15psi and cure the problem of it headbutting the boost limit. And I want flamage

Not got any decent pics at the moment but here's a couple. I'm playing with Andy's camera tomorrow so hopefully will have some more

**adam0bmx0** · 22-01-2010, 22:52

What size injectors?

Do you have a larger 1.8 diff?

Im going to squirt mine this year, got a dual feed rail and some 420cc injectors ready, will also get a wiedeband to.

**TVR Rob** · 22-01-2010, 22:57

Got a Torsen LSD in it now, with the longer final drive so its slightly blunted the acceleration. I think the injectors are 420cc's but I'd have to check.

And the wheels are 8J ET0, FTW

**adam0bmx0** · 22-01-2010, 23:01

Yea you should be fine with the 420's.

Im only going to gor for around 12-13psi dont want it so powerful that i can;t just go balls out like my last 1.8 n/a.
