How did you find the fit of the rear over fenders? I've bought these from Viva already, wondering how much extra work is in yours thanks.

Well we haven't moulded them on yet, but they seemed to line up pretty good, the only thing extra we are doing is a bit of trimming to stop sideskirts hitting (not viva's issue), and extend the fibreglass that goes around the fuel cap, if u know what im talking about.

what are you gunna have to do to get the rear wheels under and fitting nicely? do the fronts have any scrub issues?

loving the build mate!

as soon as im back in australia after my stint in london im keen to start a build..

the hardest bit is deciding what car to start with. s13 or 14, 32 or 33, or just buy a gtr and tidy it up. argh!!

good luck mate.

cheers adam

hey mate, prob just a bit of camber, the rims will still stick out a little but thats what im going for. we had a little bit of scrubbing on the front bar from the front tyres but thats all sorted now, just had to push the bar a little forward.

If i was picking out of those 4 cars, obviously i went the 32 first, my next build is going to be a 34. but if not i would go an s14. Good luck!

rear guards are trimmed, over fenders refitted and drove it about 15km to the painters place, now just paint to go for the body, then new coilovers, camber arms and toe arms cheers.gif

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
