You were FUNNY leaving Ed's the other night. I bet his neighbours loved your antics at circa midnight.

Not really. It's not that far from standard at the moment - waiting until I get the fronts on until it goes a bit lower, but tbh I've seen the light a little. It just handles so well at a reasonable ride height - it's actually mental!

4k launch FTW?
In fairness, Ed told me to.

1 tyre fire all the way down the road?
We could hear you getting onto the motorway.
You mean not having a low car means it actually handles well? We'll I never would of thought that

PMSL. To be fair, it was brilliant.
Oh, and here's Seb cutting into the wishbone to fit said coilovers:
Captive nuts on twenty year-old cars suck.
Seb's Mum catered for us all day though. Lol. Every cloud.

Got the rear arb disconnected atm (meant to give more grip with an open diff for obvious reasons) rear coilovers are a bit lower than the front, but theyre quite a lot stiffer so it turns in nice and quickly, if a bit wobbly up front...

You don't need lowz for handling

You've got to have a stupid low car at least once though.
Jon did it, Seb did it and I'm currently killing myself doing it.
I had a short period doing it in my Clio... Just need more!
Although I don't know if I want it to drive like s**t just to look nice.

One tyre's gonna wear out before the other though.
None of you lot have LSD's, you can't talk. Bunch of tripodding homos.

Seems as though it's lower on the drivers side at the moment. Will be sorted soon, along with getting the fronts on.

I'm just going to leave this here.
Believe me, I've done SO many of those.

Fml.
It is lower than it was and there is still quite a bit of room to go lower. But currently the fronts aren't on, and I've not got access to the right sized C spanner. So it'll be staying like this for a few more days...

Its not just your car fella (although the rust and stuff makes it look more broken, lol), its the whole "slammed scene". It doesnt aid performance in the real world, its a pig to drive (speed humps and such), slows down folk behind you, and is a basic attention seek.
if thats your bag, fair enough, but I just cant understand it at all.
A mate of mine once posted something on Facebook, explaining stance, and why it has the following it does;
A woman, strictly speaking, is designed to be able to move over ground at a reasonable rate. She can do this quickly in a pair of top spec running shoes, they won't look good, but they will be effective. A car is very much the same, with the correct height and other things, it will handle very well and move across ground quickly, but as with the woman, it won't look as good.
Now put the same woman in a pair of high heels, she can't move particularly quickly, but she looks sexy as hell. This is what a stance car is about. Looking sexy as hell, irrespective of how quickly it moves.

The rust is all being sorted soon enough, just need to find some time off work.
I think the whole scene is brilliant personally, but I'm not so sure about venturing down that route now. There's just so much potential for an MX5 to be an amazing drivers car and now I've got this amazing set of very expensive coilovers it'd be a bit silly to waste them driving around on the lookout for potholes etc. I don't know...
Summed up perfectly!

flol! A*
joey, if you made that shop a reality it'd be hilarious; god forbid there's a pebble in your path
I've been watching Spec-Miata races all day, those guys are f**king heroes!
I want to make it clear that this is not going to be ridiculously low/undriveable. It's going to be low to an extent, for sure, but I want to be able to drive the thing.
I've seen the light.
