went for a drive tonight and my front bar hit the ground about 20 times in a hour of driving. so i have 2 options raise the car or change the bar...! Since im happy with the height the bar has to go... Its a trust style front bar or tr style as jetspeep like to call it. Its the foul orange bar on their site. It really looks wrong in orange they should change the picture and it might sell more...

I have been looking at some other bars but looking is no use as they all look low. So if anyone knows of a nice looking aftermarket front bar that its ride height lines up with gtr skirts or a bit lower... the help would be really apreciated..

thanks

get a stock series 1 mspec bar then, as in my sig, well the centre has been chopped out. You could also do it if u wanted to. Doesnt look too bad, altho mine still scrapes every now and then

you cant get rid of that bar!

its not that bad, just avoid the bumps

ohh it is that bad...! went for a mountain climb last night and couldn't even do the speed limit. bar went crunch on every dip and turn in the road. I have fully had enough.. its like driving a eggshell..

Plus Im going down the Great Ocean Rd in a couple of weeks with some mates and wanna have to think about my front bar cracking under the pressure.

So if anyone wants to trade a black front bar pm me with a pic all bars considered. can i post this here if not tell me and i will edit it...

Thanks.

Coupe-This: You have done half a job, get the cut-outs plastic welded, that way it doesn't look like a hack job :D (no offense intended :D )

Mook1: Saw your car crossing Toorak Rd, in Toorak, last week (i was in my work ute). Was happy to see Nathan's old car still looking sweet.

      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

      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.
