LOL! Read that completely wrong. I thought you paid $100 for a set of tyres!! I thought "Do you even grip?".

I got a screw in one once, drove on it for a while just tightened it when it was leaking lots lol.

Hahaha yeah i tightened the offending screw when i jacked it up to put some spare 17" i had sitting around (to match rolling radius') but found that my nuts were too big...

So i'm glad i found some cheap 19" tyres a few months ago.

Finally made a steel cargo barrier for the boot in the stagea (instead of the original leather one) as the wife was going for a bit of a drive with lots of stuff in the back.

For anyone who is interested, the top metal rod of the normal one is 13mm - I used a half inch (12.7mm) solid rod which clipped in just fine, with a 20mm by 20mm steel tube for the bottom, and 3.15mm thick 50mm by 50mm mesh welded between the two for the middle.. :-)

Well finally had a bit of shed time! Fitted up rs4s rear cradle and 2way lsd, and whiteline rear sway bar , adjustable camber arms front and rear, hicas lock bar , r33 rear brakes and t3 rotors to match front , greddy rear strut brace. Wired in full race ets pro altessa controler as a stand alone unit, got the recaros in and bolted up, slid some nice new wheels under with some substantial 265 rubber on the back , connected and mounted my innovate motorsports lambda meter and put in some jtc n1 coil overs, and put on carbon ganador mirrors

Now just a wheel align and all good , when we get a bit of cool weather ill go and do some more tunning and turn boost up and water/meth injectionpost-76904-0-45997100-1390659802_thumb.jpg

Such a shame you didn't get much done... :whistling:

Sounds like it'll be almost a different car! It's looking damn good too.

Nice! Did you find a lock bar that bolted straight up or did you have to do a cut and shut job on one to fit?

Fitment stance style with grip :) 18x10 +10 with a 265 on it very little stretch only -1.5 deg of camber , nice big contact area for grip, only rolled gaurds no pumping or manipulating ! A very happy boy

My wagon is back in the shop as of this morning to sort out the exhaust (it's almost head-ache inducingly loud), some light-throttle tuning and a few small niggles here and there. Something was causing some restriction somewhere, so hopefully the exhaust sorts it out while still reducing volume. They're sourcing a new muffler from SMB, and apparently an SMB muffler has been used on a 500kW R33 that's still pretty quiet.

    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
