wow that went really smoothly,

i was secretly expecting delays and the like..

do you know if we got the orange or the black?

cheers

Karl

if you only knew what happened my end! some strongly worded but polite phone calls from me requesting updates, confirmation of fund transfer, shipment date - etc.

i've requested the black for everyone, if we get it then bonus - if not then it'll be the 'coby orange'. it just depends if they have any paint in stock.

i have called coby directly and asked them what paints they are using. they have told me that they ARE NOT using HIGH TEMPERATURE paint. the paint is merely for rust, storage and aesthetic reasons.

i personally advise everyone to strip the paint back and go over it with caliper/high temp spray cans or get them hp coated like i have. leaving the coby paint shouldn't do any harm either.

please be patient with christmas delivery. some of you guys might be lucky and get them early, some might get them in the new year.

regardless all buyers have always received them.

I wish i had mine today i was really hoping to get them :P . i really hope now there here wednesday beofre i go out of the counrty ;) so there black thats good to hear merry christmas everybody hope all goes well for everyone

hey got mine fitted today went on sweet took away alot of the rasp i used to get about 2500rpm-3000rpm.

just want to know hwat type of setup are people running on there car mine is just stock with the extractors my stock pipe is 2.5'' so i didnt have to change that

You will all have to tell me how your extractors go guys, mine are still sweet, glad i got HPC coating, just wondering i got a hi-flow cat on my system, do you think i would be losing any power considering its a 3" cat, he just downed it to my 2.5" system i got, would i have got any power increase at all?

Also gotta get it fixed, either the muffler or cat is rattling under there like a B&$%#. Does anyone notice a sucking noise from extractors, or air noise?

Also any difference in havin a resonator or muffler on your system, he put muffler on before the cannon, but last system i got on my old car he put a resonator, sorry im a noob

Anyone thinking of starting this group buy again? I need one :) its $345 to deliver without a group buy mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................
I'm in for sure if theres another group buy :down: , is there another group buy for these any time soon???
Yeah ill be in for another group buy?

PM me if we are starting again Eug

unfortunately there won't be another one without significant interest.

as much as i'd like to help you guys out again, i've run 4 of these buys already and each time it has been more money and effort on my part than anything. now that i'm an sauqld exec, moderator and in my final year of uni i have other obligations to fulfill.

if there are enough people to make it feasible then we shall see.

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
