Haven't been up there for 5 years myself, so I don't know.

Western boat ramp is open, on the Nerang Murwillumbah Road.

Natural Bridge is down that way. Not sure what the road surface is like.

Anyhow, make up your own minds.

I'll be on the road Sunday. PM me if you're interested.

super street $ 2200

racing logic $ 1700

buddy club $ 1100

all have the same amount of adjustments an same build qaulity..

I got mine for around 1500AUD delivered from japan. After researching the difference between the jap spec and aus spec one, I concluded that its not worth that extra 1000 (quote by fulcrum around 2.5k) for revalving simply because you cant really feel that much of a difference. In any case, a lot of jap spec ones are around the 2k mark locally too which I think its a very heavy mark up by distributors here.

Also another thing worth noting is, I've read somewhere that ONLY Teins are legal when it comes to aftermarket suspension in Australia. If thats true, I wouldnt mind paying that extra 400 for it. Aus or Jap spec doesnt really matter because they're all green visually (if you know what I mean).

Who did you get them through if you don't mind me asking?

have you screwed some more damper in yet...?

Fixed at 14 front and rear. 28turns in total and at the softest, its way better than stock but at the stiffest, its not anymore stiffer than stock.

and height?

That will be fixed next time I'm back from site. Probably drop another 10mm or 20mm from the front as the lowest point of my car would be the front pipe.

If your car is at 140 now, 20 will be safe at the front if you're scared of the speed bumps. You could go 40 at the rear though. My exhaust doesn't scrape at all and it's a hell of a lot lower than yours.

There hasnt been 1 yet I believe. Maybe try organizing 1 for next weekend or Friday night. I might be able to make it when I'm back from site. I'll probably be doing the major service on Sat and dont know how long it'll take.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
