My new MX5 (Shed Content)
- Thread starter JoeyD
- Start date
Hard tops are worth f**k all... Give you £20 for it?
Yeah, sell it separately. What colour is it?
I flashed you, gheyer!
Need some wheeeeels quite badly! And a new roof and paint.. but Wheels are more important!
Yeah, got an Exedy clutch - it's already come... just waiting to fit it now
They were alright for me! Ordered on Saturday, came on Monday.
Just looked on Autolink... looks cheap! /Balls.

I'll be keeping them 14 inches, whatever I go for...
Awesome, I'll enquire...
Great, cheers!

Can't wait to see what you do with it Joey. Good man for doing it properly.
Awesome. The NAs look great in white too.
Good work. Nice to see an original set of Minilites on it too; even if you are going to change them
This, original wheels! Might spray them bronze for now...
Cheers Chris. It's going to be a long one! lol
Currently trying to decide on whether to go welded diff or torsen.... Hmmm

KaaZ are decent from what I know of them on Honda forums. Noisy though! I've driven a DC5 with one and it made it sound broken with any lock on at low speeds. lol.

I drove a boggo 1.6 with one fitted and it was alright. I think it was a 1.5 way one. You need some power to get the most out of them though really.
I always just used open diff's on my turbo 5.
I hate the open too! If I got a torsen I'd need drive shafts and the prop too...
There's one on MX5Nutz for £275 incl drive&prop shafts, is that not a decent price?
There's no way I can afford a Kaaz! lol

Small update:
Got a new clutch fitted today; massive improvement!
Also painted the wheels this weekend which resulted in my first c*ck up for this project... I intended to paint them bronze, but as I was in a bit of a rush in the shop I picked up brown instead without realising FFS. So now I'm rolling with wooden wheels

Oh well, I should be buying a set of MiM's wheels this week as a temporary fix for the horrible stance - no point in buying really nice wheels just before winter tbh...
I've ordered a JDM rear numberplate holder, an offset front numberplate holder and a pair of square import plates - so they'll be going on this week, too. Also this weekend, whilst sat waiting in a carpark, I was messing with the steering wheel and pulled the centre cover off to reveal it's got a momo horn already fitted which is pretty cool!

Only thing that's bugging me at the moment is I can't get it any lower - the rear adjusters have plenty of thread left to go down, but the spring isn't even in its seats (no helper springs in either) - so I presume it's just on the bump stops? Would chopping these rectify this? Or am I going to have to modify the top mounts and just raise the adjusters?

I presume if it's on the bump stops you'll have f**k all rear travel?
You'd be right. It's not great at the moment...
It's probably because they're the worst coilovers going!

LOL. Try cutting the stops then. If they're cheap s**t coilies you might as well.
I was thinking that, I'll have a go tomorrow... it's getting unbearable! LOL
It's suicidal in the wet!
