Hello guys and gals, new to this site and wanted to ask a silly question since i recently got a r34 vspec. Im looking at removing the front bumper (is there a thread for bumper removal) to install new intercooler. Wondering if you guys know the lifting points on the car so i can place my jack stands on the correct spots. Please let me know if you can help me out. Thanks alot for your help :):yes:

chassis rails are quite soft, I have bent them before. With a block of wood to spread the load you should be OK but make sure your lifting setup is solid and not going to fall off the jack.

Axle stands - Crossmember at the front, subframe at the back. Those will NEVER move :)

Dont use the chassis rails there are 4 points on the sils that have a lump for the jack stands to sit in nicely and are a solid point, using the cross member is fine aswell but rails will bend

Don't see a way to use these without crushing the surrounding "seams"

      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

      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".
