on the weekend i went drifitng and managed to do the front LHS (passenger side) lower control arm/sway bar and also the stabilizer arm (i brok eem right off). Went to the local import halfcut place and found out these were the same identical to the r32 gtst ones and got em for 300 bux.

I also noticed teh tie rods were also teh same size as well.

Hahahahaha!  I didnt find that funny until you quoted it!  HAHAH!  Classic, made my day!

hahaha.. yeah was funny till i coulnt counter steer in time (lack of damn power steering didnt return the steering wheel in time) and my car landed on the kerb. :skull:

The undercover copper was right there when i drifted around the bend. He saw the whole thing. HAHAHA

CC rocks around the corner behind me to find the car on the kerb.

Told him it was a "mechanical failure" that i somehow managed to go sidewayz around the bend at 70km/h in peak traffic and land on the bend. Still he was a top bloke thou let us go. Heck he had no proof anywayz.

Lol ceffo -

you have a bad memory :tool: :P

He suggested that "noone else was involved, no property damaged, if you can get it towed I dont have to call highway patrol."

He was a top bloke and had PLENTY of proof. ie. copper being a witness is as good as 5 witnesses.

You're just downplaying how lucky you was.. if it had been me I would have been getting butt****ed right now. :whip:

Either way I'm glad it ended how it did now we can live another day and-

:rave:

bahahaham funny stuff.

A fair few months back we went drifting in an industrial estate in brissie. We had been hitting this truck turn around (hairpin) all night. I got a tad ****y, came out of it and kept trying to go from side to side up the street, ended up in a ditch on the side of the road.

Cops came and i said, my car broke down and i forgot to put my handbrake on and it rolled down the hill. He tried the "you can tell me mate, i am a car enthusiast as well, except i like v8's" I kept to my word and we got our names recorded and I was left to feel sorry for myself in peace!!!!!

Funny stuff!!! But my poor lil onevia need a bit of cosmetic work after that! lol, still needs some

Copied & Paste this from NS.com

s13 tierods are 12mm, and the shortest of the lot

s14 tie rods are 14mm and are slightly longer, but can be used in s13 but are around 10(ish) mm longer
s15 tierods are 12mm and are longer than s14 for some reason, tried them in a s13 but had monster toe in.
r32 have both 12mm and 14mm tierods, so you need to check before you buy, and SHOULD be the same length as s13

Surprised know one has actually stated that Cefiro's only use M14. Unless you are using an S13 rack of course.

      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".
