the mx5 was my original idea ian, but then i started thinking about other cars. so i decided to see what was out there and peoples opinions on them all.
its not that i have completely discarded the gtr or skylines. i wanted to see others opinions on my idea and other vehicles. i am trying to keep an open mind about it all. i have never driven any of the vehicles listed so i needed a little info on everything. i knew the gtr would be the favourite, but i wanted to see why. people always say there are really good, and i knew if i put it in there people would say why its so good. to be honest i was leaning towards the mr2 at one point.
i actually decided a few days ago that i didnt want to go AWD again, not yet. that was the turning point. also, i think the gtr is a little outta my price range right now. 16k wouldnt get me a really good condition one.
this is what we are putting in the mx5
* Wilwood Dynalite forged 4 piston billet aluminum calipers in the front.
* Stainless Steel caliper pistons for superior resistance to thermal conductivity.
* Billet Aluminum caliper mounting brackets made from T6061 aluminum.
* 11.0 " lightweight two piece rotors with billet hats for the front.
* 10.75 " lightweight two piece rotors with billet hats for the rear.
* Stainless steel braided brake lines reduced weight 8lbs in front and 2 lbs in the rear.
* Wilwood "Q" pads with patened nu-cap retention system.
* Q pads are rated to 800 degrees.
that is costing $2150. i have to order it from sydney. so i have thought about the brakes and found this package already to go for me.
i havent included things like suspension, brakes and other items because there is not much left to decide on. my mate seamus has been doing some research on it all for me along with a few other friends. the only thing we couldnt decide on for certain was what kind of engine. even now, we are still debating whether to go to the 1.8 still.
the reason i started this thread is to get as much information as possible from all of you. then use all that to make my decision.
oh, and did you have fun spamming me guys keep it to whoretown would ya
