Yesterday we were headed to the farmers market at the Bundal races to stock up on fresh fruit and veg ect.

Tried to get into the first drive way and went in really slowly because of the shape of the driveway. Half way in one of my back wheels came off the ground and I lost all traction. dam coilovers! I then had to get in and push the car back off the driveway and find somewhere else to park. I had to convince my gf to get into the drivers seat of the car i wont let her drive. There was alot of traffic and a good 25-30 cars banked up before I got moving.

I had a good old laugh about it but the bloke in a 4wd behind me was quite pissed off at me.

I dont think my gf will let me live this one down for a while.

o i hate coil overs for that.... i got stuck everywhere i went... as most parts around where i lived had speed bumps and steep driveways.. so i just learnt to adapt and walk longer :)

its fun when a 4wd has to wait though haa... but sucks when the roof line is under the bonnet and they cant see you :S

      This isn't for lotsa powers, and time and effort isn't even a thing I'm concerned about The whole reason is "Just because fun", and "Just because fun" is what I do And whilst there are other kits, with better and more modern turbos (Rev9 use the same Kraken manifold I believe.....EDIT... nope, the Kraken is a cast jobbie, the REv9 uses welded up stainless, plus $8000 AUD before shipping, installation and tuning) Where else in Sydney can I do a drive in drive out with the after sales support that MX5 Mania give My Turbo 86 made around 200kwatw on a AVO turbo kit that Pulse fitted, and it was over 100kg heavier than the MX5, but it was a blast to drive around the streets, until I crashed it.....DOOH, so somewhere around 200 ish level and some whooshy noises and I'll be happy driving to work, the shops, or heading into the country with Jackie for Devonshire tea So, thanks Dose for your info, it sounds like a 0.64 will be fine for what I'm after👍 The only real racing I do nowadays is to the toilet

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
