The new HPI is out?!?!?! It doesn't have my car in it does it? I got told it should be this issue :banana:

no your car is not there just a white 34 and a sickkkkkkk 33

the offset is 22 on all rims, my guards are liped at the back and pumped 5 mm front are stock

check out sydneyguardrolling.com, or even peter from bodyform.

gtr guards at the fronts should fix up the fronts with 18x10 +22

what size tyres you planning on running on the rims?

245 45 front and back

that should be alright, imo i'd go with a 40profile.

havent thought of a flare job instead of pumping?

i was told that 40 would be to hard to fit and then all i heard after that was blar blar blar blar.......

i was also told the rims will not fit but i also heard blar blar blar,.....

ive got 235/40/18 on my 18x10 +18, so 245/40 is possible.

rim's will fit with some work (20mm flare or pump of rear guards and gtr guards or 25mm aftermakret fibreglass guards.) just depends on your budget.

^ get 235/40 for the front and it should clear, if not lip the front guard & put abit of -ve camber in.

ur car looks like standard height, once you get coilovers or lowered springs/shocks in, it will camber in itself.

see how you go when you lower it, if still scrub then either get 235 tyre and/or roll the guards

Hey mate it is my car that is on the cover. I cut all the guards myself and rewelded them and got andy at complete smash in kirrawee to finish them of. He is probley the best at it and if your looking at getting the job done right take it to him

Also gtr front guards wont help you will have to change lights bumper bonnet to fit them and its not cheep

yer gtr guards are not for me pumped gts t are.lol

i spoke to andy about it all ready what did you pay if you don't mined me asking pm me if you want.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
