tein super streets, aus spec, full stiff front and back.

whiteline adjustable swaybars front and back, both on hard setting

pineapples in the rear, set for max squat, shoulnt effect it i dont think ?

tyres are crappy china spec atm, 235/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rear

alignment is fine, no wobbles even at high speed

Soften the front sway bar first to deal with the understeer, but if you've got rubbish tyres this might be more dangerous unless you're handy with opposite lock.......

i will soften front and see how that is, booking in for new rear tyres asap so was wondering wether or not to do fronts too, might aswell i suppose

i aint no D1 drifter but yeh i can steer through most situations lol, never over corrected yet touch wood :laugh:

thanks for the replies :D

More air in the front tyres. Less air in the rears.

Soften the front suspension. Stiffen the rear suspension.

More front camber. Less rear camber

Probably get some decent tyres.

booked in for bridgestone adrenalins all round tomorrow, will see how that is.

if need to will soften front springs slightly, if still not working will soften front sway bar.

psylor, cant stiffen rear swaybar, as i mentioned its already max stiff :happy:

ur gonna adjust spring rate before ARB's? u realise springs are at least $100ea, whereas adjusting sway bars is free right?

haha yeh mate, read up a bit, adjustable coilovers. cheers :)

also new adrenalins made a bit of diff already. will keep fine tuning. cheers for all replies guys :)

yeh i know, but from what i read sumone suggested to "maybe soften the front dampers up abit, get more grip on the front"

just read back, i did say "soften front springs" meant dampers, my bad lol

haha yeh mate, read up a bit, adjustable coilovers. cheers :)

also new adrenalins made a bit of diff already. will keep fine tuning. cheers for all replies guys :D

yeh as mentioned that doesnt give u adjustment in ur springs, only changing springs changes the spring rate.

damper adjustment is more complex than what it seems, ur better off adjusting ur sway bars as that will give more predictable results.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
