  1. Apparently they are a lot weaker than c52/c56's. Ive got a c150 in my car but its only a non-turbo 5e, cant say i'd trust the box with boost
  2. ohhhh that'll do it, really want to get mine tuned now...
  3. Just comparing your vid to mine, yours definitely revs a lot faster, what gearbox are you running? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB8QSc3t7SY
  4. Aye theres a familiar car, welcome dude!
  5. Looks like it goes really well mate, seems a bit quicker than mine although i havent had it tuned properly, what ecu are you running?
  6. Forgot the forum had changed to a different web address and was updating my build on uksc lol Got some coilovers way back in October. They are a Japanese brand called ACRE. They have 10kg front springs and 8kg rear Got them installed by a mates tyre place where i also got the guards rolled and a wheel alignment Was a little fun trying to get it to align properly. Finally got it to ~2mm toe in front and rear, 5º caster, -1.5º camber on the front and -2º on the rear. Its running as little camber as the adjustment would allow at this ride height which im pretty happy with (~90-95mm t
  7. Front lip arrived yesterday from ebay, only took 15mins to fit Car looks a bit lower now so ill be happy with it till i can afford some proper coilovers. Its a R Package front lip, got it for $180 inc shipping from ebay as i couldnt find anything i liked over here.
  8. Cool! 1 more thing to add to my shopping list. Will have to get coilovers next, mines still rather high.
  9. Wow, wish i could get mine that low. Problem with having a gravel driveway is its not very low car friendly. Must be going blind. Where did you get the hardtop visor/spoiler from?
  10. Was about to hit buy now on the coilovers when i checked a local mx5 parts place called mx5mart. The first listing caught my eye and i called the guy up straight away and said i'll buy it. It was a version 2 hardtop with heated window, insulated roof and it was red! Cost a little more than i had so parents have shouted me the difference as an early birthday present. Picked it up for $1300 (~660 GBP) which is understandable since its winter and everyone wants them. The extra weight of it has lowered the rear of the car slightly so im happy with the height for now (till i can afford some coi
  11. Took the car to the guy who sold me the springs today and we worked out why they dropped the car so little. We think that the factory springs had already sagged 20mm or so from factory height causing there to be little difference after installing the teins as they were rated at 40mm from factory height Will be ordering some coilovers off ebay tomorrow once my pays come through
  12. Bought some tein lowering springs which were rated at a 40-45mm drop. Took around 8 hours to install them as it was my first time doing suspension on the car and i only had manual spring compressors For some reason it didnt lower the car by much. Going off the before and after measurements it only lowered it by 15-20mm so im a little disappointed by it. Am probably going to get a refund on the springs and put the money towards some coilovers that ryan mentioned above.
  13. I will definitely consider those ones for the future, as the price of them + certification is only just more than a set of springs. So if i read correctly all i need to do is attach my tophats to the mk1 coilovers and im away happy?
  14. Wanting to keep away from coilovers for a while as they require certification over here. Which is basically a plate which lists modifications and says my cars safe with them and if anything is changed it requires re-certification. Would i just be able to use my current top mounts if i got one of those kits?
