Hey guys, im new to the forum but thought id post up some pics of my RS4 turbo M35. Im in NZ but running euro plates.

Running 19x10 AME rims at +5 offset, silk road coil overs, raiser exhaust.

X-member sits at 38mm from the ground.... suspension can go lower but as you can see its hard for the body to drop any more, also top arms hit on the body at this height.

Looks great! do you have any problems with the steering arms pointing up at that angle?

a mate of mine lowered his Pulsar to some stupid degree that he was having problems with the angle of the steering rack and arms

nah ive been told that its unsafe and the steering arms are on a wack angle and all that but to tell you the truth the car drives great apart from the top arms hitting the body (ive cable ties silicon hose on them) and the ground clearance. only thing ive had to replace was a CV boot

Welcome Jordan.

Great to see an RS colour-coded. Looks good!

Is that a Takero's Full Titan exhaust?

Dunno about the stance... if it was on Aussie roads anyway...

Always loved that style of wheel on M35's

yea i had all those black boring parts painted out :)

nah the exhaust is only the rear section, its got twin 4" tips... i had to source it from japan as i could find nothing for it

as for the stance ive had too much influence from sites such as hella flush and stance works

Any fender pulling / rolling to fit those bad boys? or just a lippin?

Looks very hot btw... certainly the look i will be going for once i find some decent offset rims

I have done nothing to the front gaurd except remove the screws that hold in the innder gaurds, i have a gaurd roller so i lipped the rear gaurds but had problems with the rear gaurds rubbing on the lip of the mag wheels so i had to push them out another 5mm or so :blink:

WOW mate, just stumbled upon this now and... yeah WOW!

My new inspiration. I just bought a Masa rear wing and am about to order a JP Simple Style front lip and once I can afford it, some nice deep dished 19"s and then SLAM.

Are you running a Masa rear wing also? Looks very similar.

Mike: It's my parents house

If I'm not mistaken its got Andrew Patteson Architects' signature all over it.

Nice looking car will look out for it but I'd never go there as I hate the low gait already and would source an ARX next for the go most places flow. Bilstein shocks and rear swaybar and front brakes modded of course but not lowered.

    • 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       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
